Hello, My Name Is Octicorn

48 pp. | HarperCollins/Balzer + Bray | May, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-238793-6 $17.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Justin Lowe. Additional illustrations by Binny Talib. Half octopus, half unicorn, Octicorn offers up a list of all his great traits, likes, and dislikes that qualify him--though he looks a bit different than everyone else--to be a great friend. Situational humor and minimalist line drawings of an octopus with a horn are just peculiar enough to sustain this didactic non-story about accepting others, differences notwithstanding.
