Oola has rescued a brand new baby unicorn! It needs looking after and teaching a thing or two about unicorning - is Oscar up to the task?

When Oola brings home a brand new baby unicorn, she enlists Oscar's help to look after it and teach her a thing or two about unicorning. But Oscar is too hungry to be helpful. He's eaten the baby bunting, the crib, and the rocking chair. When he eats every last nappy, Oola must go out to buy more but, not to worry, Oscar can look after Babycorn while she's gone... But when Oola returns, her precious Babycorn is nowhere to be seen! What could have happened to her?

A fun-filled, delicious celebration of friendship and little siblings from the creators of Oscar the Hungry Unicorn and Oscar the Hungry Unicorn Eats Easter.
