The ending fizzles, but there's a lot of mischievous fun to be had getting there. After an ultradestructive unicorn party involving a herd decked out in bows, leg warmers, and sunglasses, the boy learns his lesson (sort of). You can visit Ame on Twitter (AmeDyckman). Ame lives in New Jersey with her family, pets, and hair bow collection. Climo (the Rory the Dinosaur books) creates gleeful unicorn havoc in her droll cartoons as the boy's new pet sheds golden sparkles, belches rainbows, and more (readers will never look at cupcakes the same way after the house-training scene). Ame Dyckman is the award-winning author of Thats Life, Dandy, Read the Book, Lemmings, You Dont Want a Unicorn, Horrible Bear, the New York Times Bestselling Wolfie the Bunny, and more. "Fine! It's awesome, okay?!" But this admission is followed by several negatives: unicorns shed, slice furniture to ribbons, and can't be housetrained. "Sure, having a unicorn seems fun at first," the narrator says. The boy is delighted, the unseen narrator not so much. After a boy wearing an "I unicorns" T-shirt tosses a coin into a fountain, a white unicorn with a voluminous purple mane manifests in a shower of rainbows and stars. Unicorns: splendiferous magical delight or mythological menace? Dyckman (Horrible Bear!) suggests the latter in this cautionary tale.
