This comedic picture book features Professors Glitter Pants, Star Hoof, and Sugar Beard (plus trusty lab assistant Pete)—the world's leading unicorn experts—as they deliver the facts, settle the mysteries, and show readers that unicorns are more than just horns and rainbows.

A totally absurd "facts" book about unicorns. I don't know, I didn't get it, maybe it's intended for little boys instead of little girls? I mean there's a picture of a unicorn standing on a scale wearing just underpants. And the artwork is goofy. I mean I understand little kids need a little silly, not everything should be pretty and magical, but this book was just an overwhelming mass of colours, ugly images, text and nonsense. And fake textbooks don't tend to go over well with me in the first place, but usually they are visually appealing and don't involve creatures named "Sprinkletoot" or have an entire page to "what happens after a unicorn eats". There is also an odd obsession with muscles (check out Pete's painting as well as various unicorn species and evolutionary states). Nope, simply confirms that many kids books after the year 2000 have gone downhill.
