Goodnight Unicorn
"Goodnight unicorn lovers everywhere" - these last words of the story are accompanied by a child sleeping in a familiar room dressed up in a unicorn pajamas. How very precious and recognizable! But the book doesn't end there. There are "Unicorn ology" pages at the end of the book.

And There Were Three Little Fairies Sitting on Cherries Christmas Craft
For this ornament we used:
yarn,
tulle,
chenille stems,
red tissue paper,
white glue, scissors, a black Sharpie, ruler.
Cherries:
We cut 6 inch squares of red tissue paper. We applied white glue all over the paper, crumbled it, and rolled in between the palms to form spheres. While still wet with glue, cherries were poked with the green stem, and the glitter was sprinkled (optional).
Fairies:
Wrap some yarn around a carton tube.
Take it off the tube and tie it with a piece of thread.
Cut the yarn on the opposite side, collect it together and tie it again to form a fairy's head.
Fairy's arms are made of two stems. Separate yarn into two parts, insert the arms between the parts of yarn. Cut up the string of tulle. Tie the tulle under the arms to form a waist line and wings.
