In this companion book to The Magical Unicorn Society: The Official Handbook, the narrators take a scientific tone and assume unicorns are real. The book includes a collection of stories about unicorn sightings and the variety of unicorns that are out there. Each story is around 10 pages.
The illustrations in this book are charming and there is an abundance of them all around the stories. This book straddles the line between picture book and chapter book and this will encourage younger readers to try their hand at sustained reading. That said, the amount of reading may be a barrier for the age that this book is going to appeal to, given that unicorn fans trend younger.
