Bob is a Unicorn

Bob is not a unicorn. His friend George knows that. So does Stella. And Ted, and Larry.
In fact, it’s definite: Bob is not a unicorn.
Or is he?
  

One of the books I received in my new consultant kit was Bob is a Unicorn.  It is a cute narrative that consist of Bob asking his friends if they know what he is pretending to be.  None of his friends are interested in playing his imaginary game, and you can sense Bob's excitement start to wean.  Until he comes to a friend who shares his love for pretend play and is able to see Bob how he sees himself.

The kids really enjoyed this book, and the message was a great reminder for parents and anyone who works with kids.  Taking time to see the world through the eyes of a child can be magical.
