The Magical Unicorn Society has resurfaced to reveal another mystical offering of short tales for the unicorn devotee, with eight accounts of unicorn encounters that span time and place, from Ancient Chinese lore to pirates in the Mediterranean to modern Central Park. Since its likely that at least a few of these devotees reside in your classroom, library, or home, you’ll need to assist them in this ancient quest to understand and protect these magical creatures by offering them this book. Eight unique types of unicorns are presented, along with a short story about different people interacting with each of them. The stories are brief but distinctive and engaging, making them great classroom or bedtime reading fare. At the end of the book, readers can take a personality quiz to find out what type of unicorn best represents them, study their profiles and traits, and discover what it takes to become a member of the Society themselves. Charming pastel illustrations and a pink and glimmering gold foil cover will likely prove irresistible, and young fans will be clamoring for it. Recommended for ages 6-10.
