This lovely handbook is all about unicorns and the magic of these mythical creatures. Literally, everything one might be curious about: where they come from, how to find one, what to feed them, stories and legends about them, how to communicate with unicorns, and much more. Every page is beautifully designed, in full, vibrant color, with lovely illustrations that accompany the text. It is as inventive as it is thorough, categorizing unicorns into different families and presenting the wealth of information in various formats, including time lines and family trees. This book is sure to delight any curious child who adamantly wants to believe in unicorns and always has plenty of stories to share about them.
