An enchanting summer story about a Princess and her Pugicorn, filled with sunshine, beaches and holiday magic.
It’s summertime, and Pugicorn and Ava are so excited for their very first holiday outside of Twinkleton-Under-Beanstalk in . . . Rainbowland!
They can’t wait to sip pup-tails by the pool and bask in the sparkling sun. But when their summer plans are derailed by rainy spells, a lost little Rainbowroo and his owner might just help them to have the best summer EVER!
The perfect story to share with kids who love pugs, unicorns and tales of friendship.
