Minecraft® is a remarkably popular program among kids and adults alike! Its ability to allow users to create and journey through worlds made from their own imagination continues to captivate. This engaging text will reveal the logic, coding, and STEM skills that Minecraft can also provide to users with text that is carefully crafted for young readers. It will specifically break down how "redstone" blocks introduce and reinforce coding principles. This volume also features graphic organizers and stimulating sidebars that strengthen the comprehension of coding concepts. *Minecraft is a trademark of Mojang (a game development studio owned by Microsoft Technology Corporation), and its use in this book does not imply a recommendation or endorsement of this title by Mojang or Microsoft.

What happens when a one-horned calf with impeccable logic is convinced they’re a unicorn? Helen Yoon spins an endearing comedy of self-determination for gigglers everywhere.

“See?” cries the calf. “Uni means one, and corn means horn!” Even their baby picture proves it: they were born with one horn! But as the eager little calf continues their research, a budding identity crisis arises when they realize they don’t quite check all the boxes—should a certain lack of moonlight sparkle or silky mane or rainbow poop decide the issue. Perhaps some unexpected encouragement from a pack of “real” unicorns might be just the assurance they need? Helen Yoon, the comic talent behind Sheepish (Wolf Under Cover) and the anarchic Off-Limits, returns with a clarion call for self-doubters everywhere to embrace who they are—unicorn or otherwise.
