How to Catch a Unicorn

by Adam Wallace

First published 2019

The How to Catch Kids arrive at the zoo with one mission: capture the most elusive creature of all. They've studied their target and know what they're up against. This unicorn sparkles with rainbow colors and possesses magical abilities that make it nearly impossible to catch. The children devise trap after trap, each more creative than the last. They incorporate science, technology, engineering, and math into their schemes, building contraptions designed to outsmart their mythical quarry. But the unicorn proves cleverer than expected, escaping each carefully planned snare with magical flair. The kids must think harder and work together as their rainbow-maned target dances just beyond their reach. This playful chase becomes a battle of wits between determined children and one very smart unicorn.
