# When You Adopt a Pugicorn: A When You Adopt... Book (a Board Book) - Board Book

by **Matilda Rose** (Author), **Tim Budgen** (Illustrator)

**In the board book _When You Adopt a Pugicorn_, author Matilda Rose and illustrator Tim Budgen answer the question what happens when a princess wishes for a unicorn . . . but gets a PUGICORN instead?**

Every year, young princesses and princes arrive at Mrs. Paws' Haven for Magical Pets to pick a perfect unicorn pet. But this year Princess Ava arrived too late. There are no unicorns left . . . only Pugicorn! He's 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?
