A friend and I were daydreaming together about going to one of the unicorn cafes in Japan or Thailand. I’m a strange conglomeration. The part of my brain that isn’t obsessed with punk music and Gothic fashion and horror movies is overrun with visions of fluffy bunnies and dayglo rainbows and candy that grows on trees. I never claimed to be normal.
This is why I need to be filthy rich. I need a mansion with endless rooms that I can customize into small worlds of their own. We’d have Halloweentown and a whole Nightmare Before Christmas area, a spa retreat tricked out like a hidden mermaid cove complete with waterfalls tumbling down mossy walls and deep stone pools to splash in. I’d have a recreation of Eloise’s NYC Plaza bedroom, an ice bedroom with frosty strings of colored lights embedded in the walls and fur throws piled deeply on the beds. And we’d have a cafe exactly like the Unicorn Cafe in Bangkok, with every inch a pastel rainbow delight.
Lately this book, Stuff Unicorns Love by Jessie Oleson Moore, has been feeding my horned pony habit.
This book is adorable personified, relentlessly cute from cover to cover. They really didn’t miss a beat here, from the rainbow cover font to the perfect pink endpages. Even the dedication is a heart-shaped eighties throwback reminder of quickly scrawled notebook declarations of BFF-ness.
The illustrations are approachably simple, with clever twists. They even include a tutorial on how to draw the unicorns yourself.
The book is laid out in fun chapters that walk us through unicorn facts, the things unicorns love, where to find unicorns (the Bangkok cafe is mentioned!), what unicorns eat (complete with recipes!), and how to unicorn-ify your life (with plenty of activities). The author definitely leans toward the kind of corny humor that I’m completely tickled by- for instance, among rare species of unicorns we find the ewenicorn and the moo-gical unicow.
With all of the activities and food ideas, this could easily be a guide book for the sparkliest sleepover party in the history of the world. I recommend buying copies for all the guests though, because a serious tussle could break out over who gets to keep this.
The book is out now in hardcover from Adams Media/Simon and Schuster with a list price of $14.99.
I was in such a sugary glittery mood after reading Stuff Unicorns Love that I started looking around for other ridiculously sweet unicorn finds that I now must share with all of you!
