GET READY TO GIGGLE!

What happens when a one-horned bull with impeccable


logic is convinced he’s a unicorn? Helen Yoon spins an
endearing comedy of self-determination for gigglers
everywhere.

“See?” cries the bull. “Uni means one, and corn means horn!”

Even his baby picture proves it: he was born with one horn!
But as the eager little guy continues his research, a budding

identity crisis arises when he realizes he doesn’t quite check all

the boxes—should a certain lack of moonlight sparkle or silky

mane or rainbow poop decide the issue. Perhaps some

unexpected encouragement from a pack of “real” unicorns

might be just the assurance he needs? Helen Yoon, the comic

talent behind Sheepish (Wolf Under Cover) and the anarchic

Off-Limits, returns with a clarion call for self-doubters


everywhere to embrace who they are—unicorn or otherwise.

BY HELEN YOON

In a joyful ode to office supplies, Helen Yoon leads a celebration of

adults who harbor a similar urge.
Dad’s office is off-limits—which only makes it more intriguing to his curious
young daughter. As soon as she sees an opening, she sneaks in to have a look
around. After all, there’s no harm in just looking, right? What she discovers is
a magical wonderland of sticky tape, paper clips that make glorious strands,
and a kaleidoscopic array of sticky notes. Who could possibly resist playing
with those? HC: 978-1-5362-0731-6

Wolf dreams of tasty sheep—sheep sandwiches, sheep sushi, sheep tacos!

blending in by helping with chores, reading bedtime stories to the lambs,
and working up a sweat in sheep aerobics class. Wolf’s sneaky plan works
so well, he becomes part of the family. And suddenly, the sheep don’t seem
quite as tasty. . . .

sheepish about it.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
