A unicorn's bad day turns into a laugh-out-loud look at the pressure to be perfect and the importance of expressing your feelingsEveryone knows that unicorns are perfect. They are glamorous and glittery, and their smiles make rainbows appear! But Kevin is having a less-than-perfect day. First, he wakes up on the wrong side of the bed ...on the floor. Then he discovers that his mane is so wild that even his Super-Perfect-Hair-Day-Spray can't tame it. And the day just gets worse from there. Kevin does his best to keep his outlook sunny, but it's hard to keep smiling when everything goes horribly wrong!

“Blending the timeless wisdom of
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day with a slight parody of current trends, this picture book is an excellent antidote to the cult of positive thinking.
Slightly subversive and a lot of fun.” –
Kirkus
“Earnestly proving that even unicorns can have terrible, horrible, no good, very bad days… ‘And,’ von
Innerebner concludes, ‘that’s okay.’” —
