Bad Unicorn is a brand new book by a brand new author, and it's being launched right here at the Provo Library. This book is seriously funny! Come meet the author, Platte Clark, and enjoy free balloon unicorns to take home, guitar music written just for the book, a 4-foot balloon sculpture of Princess the Destroyer (the very bad unicorn from the book), and a bunch of great door prizes, too! (Bad Unicorn is for readers ages 8 and older.)
