Karen Cushman: Learning From Millie's World (0 comment)
For 50 years, I’ve been listening to my husband’s stories about growing up on San Diego’s Mission Bay when it was more of a small fishing village than the popular resort it is now...

Publisher Comments

Be careful what pet you wish for in this hilarious picture book from bestselling author Ame Dyckman and beloved illustrator Liz Climo.

When a little boy throws a coin in a well asking for a pet unicorn, he has no idea what kind of trouble he’s in for. Unbeknownst to him, unicorns make the absolutely worst pets: they shed, they poke holes in your ceiling, and they make a big mess. With a knowing wink from Ame Dykeman, creator of Wolfie the Bunny and cheerful illustrations from Rory the Dinosaur creator and Tumblr star Liz Climo, this rollicking story shares all of the ways a pet unicorn can ruin your life, and is sure to have readers in stitches.

Review

"Climo creates gleeful unicorn havoc...there's a lot of mischievous fun to be had." Publishers Weekly

Review

"Climo's rainbow-bright illustrations take Dyckman's silly premise to a whole new level of absurdity....This is a crowd-pleaser, complete with cupcake poops and rainbow burps, and...a welcoming and unobtrusive gender-nonconforming vibe." Horn Book

Review

"The tone of the wry, bemused narrator is perfect...and the target audience will likely be eager for a repeat listen." Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
