The book is told from Goat's point of view and he's clearly jealous of Unicorn. However, he begins to change his mind when he and Unicorn meet and Unicorn thinks Goat has some awesome attributes. Colorful, cute story to talk about jealousy, friendship, and believing in yourself.
While I found the the story fun, I am put off by the title of 'Unicorn Thinks He's Pretty Great' because the story is that Goat feel like LESS when he compares himself to Unicorn.
Unicorn is just being unicorn, as he should be.
3.5 stars

Goat is jealous of Unicorn but, as it turns out, Unicorn is envious of Goat. Even though they are different, Goat and Unicorn become friends and are stronger as a team. This is a fun book to read aloud with an important message for children.

Okay, spoiler alert - Unicorn is pretty great, but turns out Goat's not so bad himself. Your kids will get a confidence boost with this super fun book.
I dig unicorns and I think they are pretty great so I read this book. The moral of the story: many times we see the greatness in others but not ourselves. I'm glad unicorn thinks goat is pretty great too and together their greatness complements each-other.
Hilarious and a pleasure to read as a parent. If you have a sense of humor, I absolutely recommend it
Granddaughter picked this book - based totally on title & cover, since she is smitten with unicorns. We absolutely could not and would not read this weird little book to her. Very strange...

Goat used to think he was pretty cool until that Unicorn came along. But how can you compete with a guy who can make it rain cupcakes?

Best danged thing I’ve encountered in a long time. You know what this book really is? It’s a unicorn book that boys will actually want to read. And personally I think that’s exciting news that should be celebrated far and wide. So if you’re looking for a funny picture book that would make a killer readaloud to kids in anywhere from Kindergarten to the 3rd Grade, pluck this puppy up and keep it by your side.
