Hunger Games (Unicorn is an arrow being shot out of a longbow by a teenage girl)
Bookmark (Unicorn's horn is between the pages of a closed book on a nightstand; he's sort of laying with his head on the nightstand and body on the floor)
Piata (a Unicorn strung up as blindfolded children swat at him)
Clothesline (A clothesline is strung between the side of a house and the unicorn horn, as a housewife hangs clothes)
Area Rug (Like a bearskin rug, but the Unicorn's alive)
Award Ceremony Seat-filler (Unicorn is in a tuxedo seated between Angelina Jolie and Meryl Streep)
The Shining (Jack Nicholson is using a Unicorn like an axe to get to Shelley Duvall)
Jedi (the Unicorn's horn is lit up like a light saber, in a fight with Darth Vader)
Equal parts satire and tribute to this beloved mythical animal,101 Ways to Use a Unicornis sure to tickle unicorn fans young and old.

Reviews

"Pearlmans humor is relentlessly clever and, when theyre not eliciting the odd bark of laughter, the examples of uses to which a unicorn can be put, and Urbans delightful illustrations of them, and the cumulative effect of the full-color, page-after-page variations on theme listen: this book will at least leave you grinning...Your life will be incomplete without this little volume." -Austin Chronicle

"The magical creature and its ever present rainbow (Skittles, anyone) is used and abused in a variety of ways that will make you laugh and cringe."
