PS
A dubious narrator spends much of the book explaining that a horse in a red hat is not a unicorn. "That's ridiculous. / It's just a horse...who woke up with messy hair." When the hat is eventually removed, readers may momentarily wonder if what looks like a horn is really the snow-capped mountain peak in the background... Murguia's playful narrative and soft watercolors cleverly encourage the reader's imagination.
