DRAGON VS. UNICORN

Two young pals with different personalities clash and compromise repeatedly as they find ways to play together.

In three interactive stories with multiple endings, readers navigate Dragon and Unicorn’s friendship along with them in different situations. The “frenemies” label from the title isn’t really accurate: Bespectacled green Dragon and blue-eyed, blue-horned Unicorn are best friends and truly care about each other, but each needs to speak up to remind the other that they have different wants and needs. In “The Clubhouse,” Dragon prefers a neat and tidy space with just the two of them, while Unicorn wants all her stuff—and to invite other friends. In “The Sleepover,” Unicorn is scared of ghost stories, and Dragon is overwhelmed by too many activities. In “The Playground,” they argue over what to do when they find someone else’s lost toy. Both characters sometimes make mistakes and behave selfishly; neither remains on the moral high ground all the time. But they also model empathy, have difficult conversations, and compromise so they can make each other happy. The Choose Your Own Adventure–style stories allow readers to make decisions along with Dragon and Unicorn, trying out different paths and solutions. Personalized emanata—smoke and flames for Dragon, glitter for Unicorn—add a special touch.
