Unicorns are special and totally uni-que. We have crazy names, know how to stand out in a herd, love to ask questions, and dream extra big. Most important, we make our own magic! So come with and learn how to be a unicorn in these nice secret steps. Warning: It's not always easy!

I guess what to expect when your guide is called Glitter Poop, who when he has to admit to a mistake is when he farts (do all kid's books have to include a farting glitter unicorn??). And when aliens want to be unicorns, they use toilet paper rolls, with toilet paper still attached. I dunno, I don't find it funny its just kind of gross. And just as I was unimpressed in 2019 with children's book illustrations, I guess nothing has changed in the past 5 years. The trend is to only draw as well as your intended audience.

The goal of this book is admirable, to teach kids they are different and that's ok, and even to flaunt it. But not sure suggesting they walk around with a giant hot dog on their head is the way to do it.
