Although they are not real, they seem to have great appeal to some young children.
The make believe creature that is called a unicorn, has a single horn on its forehead.
However, because they do not exist, in This is NOT a Unicorn!, the author and illustrator get quite creative about what a creature with such a characteristic might be capable of.
This is actually a creature that is not what it seems.
It has many clever, useful, and versatile skills.
Its horn can play skip rope, water the garden, or be a key that unlocks a door. It can also blow up a balloon, catch a fish, and so much more.
More than anything, this creature is fun and friendly, and whatever you want it to be.
With a clever play on words (is it unicorn or you-nicorn?), Barry Timms and Ged Adamson have created a book that will encourage imagination, filled with extremely bright illustrations.
This is NOT a Unicorn! will attract the attention of any children who dream of unicorns.
