Date Published: 24 Sep 2026

Count the funny, messy unicorns in this magical story about friendship to teach children that sometimes less is more.

From the creators of How Many Dinosaurs is Too Many? comes this rhyming romp that shows children how happiness is often found in what you already have.

One day, I found a unicorn but very soon I knew . . .

one unicorn was not enough and so I needed . . . two!

Wouldn't it be amazing to have a unicorn for a friend! And 2 . . . 3 . . . 4 . . . or even 10 unicorns might be even better. But messy unicorns get dressing-up clothes and glitter everywhere, their swishy manes need styling, and as for their rainbow poo . . . Well, perhaps just one special unicorn friend is perfect!

Nicola Slater (Illustrator)
Born in the wild and windy north, Nicola began her career as an usher, but life by the big screen was too heady and too fast. Instead, she chose to study Illustration in Buckinghamshire, where she developed a passion for children's books that far surpassed her love of popcorn. She has since had books published here and in the United States, which include Best Friends, Spot a Lot, and Leaping Lemmings. Nicola lives with her family in Cheshire, close to the local cinema where she likes to occasionally lurk in the foyer.
