Bookroo's summary

Unicorn, once the star with his magical feats, faces a new challenge as school starts. Ignored in favor of trendy toys, he struggles to regain his charm. With his plans backfiring, Unicorn turns to his friend Goat for help. Will he rediscover his magic, or is he doomed to mediocrity? Dive into this whimsical tale of friendship and self-discovery.

From the publisher

Unicorn’s on a quest to get his groove back in this must-have companion to the kid-favorite bestseller Unicorn Thinks He’s Pretty Great You remember Unicorn. You know, Goat’s friend? The one who can fly, make it rain cupcakes, and turn things into gold? On the first day of school, Unicorn expects to make his usual big splash. But no one pays him much attention–the other kids are much more interested in the latest trend in toys: rubber bands that look like other things. Unicorn comes up with a plan to get his mojo back, but his efforts turn out to be more annoying than impressive. Can Goat help him recover his magic, or is Unicorn destined to a life of mediocrity? Don’t miss the hilarious book that started it all, Unicorn Thinks He’s Pretty Great by Bob Shea!
