Description

Yoo-hoo, unicorn! Let's go for a ride!
Nothing could be more special than riding a unicorn! Or, at least that's what a plucky adventurer thinks. In the spectacularly illustrated storybook, How to Ride a Unicorn, a curious young explorer is on the lookout for a new unicorn friend.
She searches high and low through a forest, and she's pretty sure she keeps spotting the very unicorn she'd like to ride! But strange animals keep stopping her in her tracks, and her quest to ride a unicorn may be in trouble.
As her journey continues, the unicorn has something to say, too. As the unicorn spots this new person on his tail, he comes up with funny ways to send her in the wrong direction. Together, these brave characters discover the magic of curiosity, confidence, and friendship in a series of quirky and heartwarming misadventures.
