Description

Fans of the magical unicorn are legion, and the unicorn's appearance in pop culture shows no signs of waning. This book presents light-hearted, slightly twisted, and always funny practical uses for a unicorn. Everyone loves unicorns-what's not to love. They're beautiful, magical creatures. Author Robb Pearlman and illustrator Dave Urban join twistedly hilarious forces once again to create 101 Ways to Use a Unicorn, their follow-up to 101 Ways to Kill a Zombie. This latest book is a manual of sorts, detailing creative ways to employ the neighbourhood unicorn in everyday life. The methods range from the practical to pop cultural to slightly dark-but all are laugh-out-loud funny: Hunger Games (the unicorn is an arrow being shot out of a longbow by a teenage girl); Bookmark (the unicorn's horn is between the pages of a closed book on a nightstand); Clothesline (a clothesline is strung between the side of a house and the unicorn horn, as a housewife hangs clothes); Award Ceremony Seat Filler (the unicorn is in a tuxedo, seated between Angelina Jolie and Meryl Streep); and Jedi (the unicorn's horn is lit up like a light saber in a fight with Darth Vader). Equal parts satire and tribute to this beloved mythical animal, 101 Ways to Use a Unicorn is sure to tickle unicorn fans young and old.

Reviews
"Pearlman's humor is relentlessly clever and, when they're not eliciting the odd bark of laughter, the examples of uses to which a unicorn can be put, and Urban's delightful illustrations of them, and the cumulative effect of the full-color, page-after-page variations on theme ... listen: this book will at least leave you grinning...Your life will be incomplete without this little volume." -Austin Chronicle

"The magical creature and its ever present rainbow (Skittles, anyone?) is used and abused in a variety of ways that will make you laugh and cringe."

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
