For example:

  • One unicorn accidentally made it rain waffles for a week!
  • Unicorns have giant slides inside their homes!
  • Rare and exotic unicorns include the mer-corn and the hamster-corn!

Full of eye-popping illustrations and a story with nonstop sidesplitting laughs, plus a removable unicorn scientist diploma at the end of the book, Unicorns 101 will have children—and adults—eager to enrol, time and time again!
