Monsieur Licorne se sent seul!
Il parcourt le monde pour trouver quelqu'un avec qui partager tous les bons moments de la vie...
Mais où chercher?
En Europe? En Afrique?
En Asie? En Amérique?

Oh...wow...if I were the author I'd be embarassed to see my work published with this artwork. Don't want to be completely mean to Gouny but that is the ugliest unicorn I've seen all year, and that's saying a lot given the many ugly unicorns I've seen (what happened after year 2000, people forgot how to draw or thought kids perfered books that were drawn by other 3-year olds? Hey, maybe they did get outsourced to children!)

And the terrible artwok matches poorly the rather deep meaning of this tale. Each time Mister Unicorn meets up with an animal there is a deep philosophical question and answer, probably a little too deep for the target audience.

Thus the result was a weird pairing of adult concepts and childish art. Not sure what the author, illustrator, publishers were thinking when they put this one together.
