The Order of the Unicorn
When Suzanne Selfors debuted her Imaginary Veterinary series, I blogged about it. I assumed that would be that. But then the series became popular. And then I introduced it to my co-worker and her first grade son (who are crazy about it). And now the fourth book, The Order of the Unicorn, has been published. Unicorns! I cannot let this opportunity pass me by. When you finish book 4, grab one of these amazing unicorn stories.
