What happens when a princess wishes for a unicorn . . . but gets a PUGICORN instead?

In the picture book When You Adopt a Pugicorn, author Matilda Rose and illustrator Tim Budgen provide a charming answer to this question.

Every year, young princesses and princes arrive at Mrs. Paws’s Haven for Magical Pets to pick a perfect unicorn pet. But this year Princess Ava arrived too late. There are no unicorns left . . . only a pugicorn!

The pugicorn is short and hairy. He can’t sit still or gallop gracefully—and he certainly can’t leap over rainbows. Can a pugicorn ever be a princess’s best friend?

This heartwarming series celebrates the joy and responsibility of caring for others, gently teaching young readers about empathy, friendship, and the magic of unconditional love.

“Digital illustrations by Budgen present dynamic, animation-style characters against a twinkly atmosphere, complementing Rose’s simple message that encourages trying new things and accepting differences.” —Publishers Weekly
