When You Adopt a Pugicorn

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.
