They love really big gigantic tacos and tiny little baby tacos as well.” The playing field is set: dragons, tacos. Rubin’s story starts with an incantatory edge: “Hey, kid! Did you know that dragons love tacos? They love beef tacos and chicken tacos. The perfect book for kids who love dragons and mild tacos.
The little girl and her family present White her friends are racially diverse. Uni and the little girl have now seen each other’s homes and made both better through their friendship. A glint of believing grows in a little boy, and he can see Uni! The thrum of magic and sparkle is there in both the text and art, but the ending feels slapdash and arbitrary: “The power of believing spread across the Real World, making it a bright and joyful place where everyone…was welcome.” Regardless, the full-circle moment is satisfying, completing the arc begun by author Rosenthal’s late mother, Amy Krouse Rosenthal, in Uni the Unicorn (2014) and Uni the Unicorn and the Dream Come True (2017). Suddenly, light hits Uni’s horn, and a rainbow appears. This time, it is Uni’s turn to sadly droop. Surely they will want to see a unicorn! But they don’t see Uni either. The duo then races to the park to find the little girl’s friends. The little tot’s entire body droops in disappointment. But when the unnamed little girl introduces Uni to her parents, they don’t see Uni at all. Sliding in on a double rainbow (the one, of course, that connects Here and There), Uni is excited to visit the Real World for the first time. In this third volume, Uni finally gets to visit their little-girl pal where she lives and meet her friends and family.
