Librarian Brooke thinks this book is pretty great.
As the title suggests, Unicorn Thinks He's Pretty Great is funny and silly. According to Goat, Unicorn is always showing off by making it rain cupcakes and turning anything and everything into gold. Plus he can fly. Oh, and dance-prance.
Dopey Unicorn.
But as it turns out Unicorn thinks Goat is pretty great, too! After all, Goat has cloven hooves so he can stand on mountain tops while Unicorn just has “stupid regular hooves.”

Author and Illustrator Bob Shea covers the jealousy issue in a humorous way and without being preachy. His drawings are childlike and detailed. Even the title page depicts sad colorless Goat laying in the wake of Unicorn’s flowery, candy and rainbow ridden path.
For Shea, no detail is too small. Goat talks in a typewriter font, while Unicorn talks in rainbows. Each letter of Unicorn’s exclamations is a different color and surrounded by sparkles. Which makes sense, because unicorns can only eat glitter and rainbows. How FABULOUS is that?
