Mossy and Tweed: Double Trouble

Is there room for two unicorns in the Gnome Woods? Mossy and Tweed find out in another silly, slapstick adventure in this over-the-top funny early graphic novel series.

Mossy and Tweed enjoy a perfect day by the pond with their friend the Wise Old Unicorn (who is really just a goat). 

But when a baby bird falls in the pond, a NEW—and very shiny—unicorn appears and saves the day! Everyone loves how strong, smart, and brave the new unicorn is. . . But what about the Wise Old Unicorn? Surely he can save the day too! Mossy and Tweed set out to help their friend realize that the forest needs him too.

Cozy Scandinavian illustrations, oodles of “oopsies,” and easy-to-read banter are sure to delight in this series for emerging readers. Kids will laugh themselves silly at Mossy and Tweed’s slapstick misadventures.
