What are unicorns?

A unicorn is like a horse that has a special horn on its head, and it's very rare and wonderful to see one.

What makes a unicorn special?

Imagine you have a toy horse, and it’s your favorite. Now imagine that this horse also has a shiny, spiral-shaped horn, just like the ones you might see on fairy tale characters. That’s what a unicorn looks like, a horse with a horn!

Why unicorns are special

Unicorns are not very common. They’re like a rare ice cream flavor that only comes out once in a while. When you find one, it feels extra exciting! Some people say that unicorns can make water sparkle or even change colors, but we don’t need magic to believe they're special.

You might think of them as the superstars of the horse world, not because they do tricks, but because they are just so cool to see.
