Notes From Your Bookseller

Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham are back with a follow-up to their bestselling hit Itty-Bitty Kitty-Corn. Kitty-Corn and Unicorn share a very special friendship that overflows with mutual appreciation and admiration — even if they aren't perfect. An ideal and easily re-readable story time book to share.

This positively delightful kitty and unicorn picture-book story celebrates the magic of friendship—and the beauty of imperfection.

The magical, bestselling team of Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham put their horns together for a heart-bursting story featuring an utterly adorable kitty-corn pair, showing readers that it’s OK to embrace our flaws and share the messy parts of ourselves.

Unicorn is perfect.
Everybody thinks so.
He yearns to look the way everyone thinks he should.

But when a fumble makes Unicorn feel like a big, ugly goof, he can’t help but wonder: if he’s not absolutely perfect and majestic all the time, will Kitty even want to be his best friend anymore?

The New York Times bestselling and award-winning superstar duo Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham, creators of Itty-Bitty Kitty-Corn, create bright, relatable stories that kids love.

About the Author

LeUyen Pham and Shannon Hale are the team behind the bestselling picture book Itty-Bitty Kitty-Corn, the bestselling graphic novels Real Friends, Best Friends, and Friends Forever, and, with Dean Hale, the early chapter book series the Princess in Black. They’ve made a bunch of other books, too. They are both: moms of kids who aren’t afraid to get messy, wives to husbands who make art, Honor-award winners (Caldecott and Newbery), caretakers of cats, and believers in unicorns. LeUyen lives in Los Angeles, Shannon lives in Utah, and with each other, they know they can be—and make—anything.

Editorial Reviews

"This is a great read to talk to little ones about how appearance isn't everything, and how even someone who everyone thinks is perfect can feel sad inside. . .Beautiful illustrations on every page in vibrant pinks and purples playfully send the message that it's okay to share the messy parts of ourselves." —Booklist

"A sweet message, eye-catching illustrations, and one whopper of a surprise that will leave all readers in stitches—this is a great choice for story time."—School Library Journal
"Readers of Pretty Perfect Kitty-Corn will witness the ways in which self-perception can be damaging, and good friends (those who are "precious, like the last cookie") should always share the magic message that we don't need to be flawless to be worthy of love."

K-Gr 2—In this latest collaboration between Hale and Pham, best friends Kitty-corn and Unicorn are making a real mess of it. Everyone know that from his well-trimmed hooves to his deep purple mane and shiny horn, Unicorn is perfect. But when Kitty-corn decides to capture Unicorn's perfection in a painting, there is something that just isn't right. Kitty-corn realizes what is missing and subsequently declares her work a masterpiece. This humorous reminder that appearance isn't everything combines rhythmic text with bold and comical illustrations. The pinks and purples used throughout will draw readers' eyes to the center of the action and clue them into the words in the text. While the best friends are the focus of this story, they are accompanied by a gecko and a parrot that add their own commentary and hilarity along the way. VERDICT A sweet message, eye-catching illustrations, and one whopper of a surprise that will leave all readers in stitches—this is a great choice for story time.—Louie Lauer
