description: When Lucy sees an ad in the newspaper for a unicorn she sends in her twenty-five cents and waits four to six long weeks for her very own unicorn to arrive. She imagines the flowers that she'll braid into his beautiful pink mane and she even picks the perfect name for him: Sparkle. But when Sparkle arrives his ears are too long his horn is too short he smells funny--and oh he has fleas. Lucy isn't pleased but in the end she warms up to Sparkle and realizes that even though he wasn't exactly the unicorn she wanted he might be just the one she needs.
