Sparkly New Friends (Unicorn and Yeti #1)

An unlikely friendship is sparked in the first of the Unicorn and Yeti series. In the first of three tales, flying Unicorn--whose upturned snout and pinkish frame provide a look more porcine than equine--sees "something sparkly" in the snowy hills below. Yeti, who resembles a stocky, feathery snowball, also spies something sparkly--in the sky. "The sparkles are getting closer! And closer," Yeti observes. After a Yeti-Unicorn crash landing and a sparkle debate (Unicorn insists that Yeti's snowy environs are just as sparkly as Unicorn; Yeti is skeptical), the two become fast friends. In a second story, Yeti and Unicorn learn to accept each other just as they are (and occasionally use a bit of magic when they want to fancy up). And the third features an epic snow fight followed by rainbow-colored soup. Additional books in this whimsical, character-driven series are set to release later this year. Ages 4-6. (Apr.)
