Summary
When Lucy sees an ad in the newspaper for a unicorn, she is so excited! She sends in her 25 cents and waits four to six long weeks for her very own unicorn to arrive. She imagines his beautiful pink mane, the flowers that she’ll braid into it, and even picks the perfect name for him: Sparkle. But when Sparkle arrives, his ears are too long, his horn is too short, he smells funny - and, he has fleas! What luck. But Lucy quickly warms up to Sparkle and realises maybe he’s not so bad after all.

Critics Review
“The pencil, pen, and watercolor illustrations, done in a simple, loose style, offer expressive, playful character poses. And Young hits all the visual beats, creating something likable and appealing…A tale about coming to love someone–or something–for who they are and not what one hopes them to be: a pleasant addition to the odd-couple shelf.” –Kirkus
“She had to admit: sometimes he made her smile and sometimes he made her laugh,” writes Young (Don’t Eat the Baby!), whose storytelling and watercolor cartooning are spot-on in their comic timing. Her message to readers is clear: self-awareness and finding a soul mate don’t always come easily.” –Publishers Weekly
