The Magical Unicorn Society Official Handbook

Unicorns continue to fascinate readers of all ages. The Magical Unicorn Society Official Handbook provides information that will broaden the knowledge base of this magical creature for its inquisitive audience.

In the “About the Author” section, Selwyn E. Pipps, as the 101st President of the Magical Unicorn Society, provides tales and experiences of the seven unicorn families that inhabit the Earth. Details are given about each unicorn group, including their appearance, horns, habitat, magic, wisdom and unique qualities. The section “Where in the World?” provides a map showing the location of the different groups. “Unicorn Symbology” illustrates and explains unicorn imagery throughout history. The section “The A to Z of Unicorns” defines or explains terms associated with unicorns, such as B for blessing and T for telepathic. Other sections, such as “A Brief History of Unicorns”, “A Spotter’s Guide to Unicorns” and “Unicorn Beliefs and Superstitions”, give the handbook a fact and fiction flavour enhancing the magical nature of unicorns.

Both the curious title, The Magical Unicorn Society Official Handbook, and the vibrant illustrations that accompany the text will captivate readers’ interest. The creative format of the book includes the narrative pieces about each unicorn group interspersed with other sections, such as “Unicorn Food”, that are enhanced with the bold artwork of Helen Dardik and Harry Goldhawk. It should be noted that the font of the text is smaller, and the text might be challenging for younger readers.

The Magical Unicorn Society Official Handbook invites readers to explore a wider scope of possibilities connected with unicorns and their magic. The originality of this book might even entice readers who are skeptical of these magical creatures to examine this official guide and reconsider their opinion. Classroom teachers and librarians will find the format of this book an interesting springboard for students to examine other types of handbooks.
