Book Summary Unicorn has a gift for Yeti, but Yeti doesn’t have one for Unicorn. When Unicorn starts to crunch icicles, Yeti gets a chance to knit clothes and a blanket to keep Unicorn warm. Later, Yeti takes Unicorn on a path into the forest, but Unicorn doesn’t think the forest is pretty. Then Unicorn lies down on the forest floor, sees the surroundings from a new perspective, and realizes how amazing the forest really is.
