You think your family is weird? What if your dad was a unicorn?!

Fans of the magical creatures in the "How to Catch a" series will love this new super-silly picture book that celebrates how ALL families are weird.


Unicorn Dad gets his necktie stuck on his horn, fixes math homework with glitter, and is obsessed with his mane shampoo. But his day job is the coolest: battling trolls and goblins in magical lands. And his son gets to come along to help!

Young readers will laugh out loud following this unusual father-son team as they fly off on adventures in a funny and warm new picture book, the start of an exciting series.

With page after page of jokes, puns, and visual gags, this story's humor is perfect for families to read together. It's a book kids will want to go back to over and over. And it makes a perfect gift!

And check out more weird families in: My Mom Is a Mermaid!
