Publisher's summary

Part of the best-selling children's unicorn book series, Unicorn Jazz. The Thing I Do is an animal book based on the song "The Thing I Do" and the children and family live show Unicorn Jazz - the Thing I Do!

A masterpiece and book that should be on every child's bookshelf and every teacher's classroom library, The Thing I Do will evoke all kinds of ideas and love for the thing your child does.

Based on Unicorn Jazz Presents The Thing I Do Amazon TV show and song, this whimsical children's book is full of witty animal puns and subtle rhyming. The Thing I Do shines a spotlight on a new and unique mythical character to the series - Trezekke the Zebracorn!

Trezekke is just like any other zebra, except that he has a blue-ish silver horn on the top of his head. In The Thing I Do, the listener joins Trezekke and many other magical friends. Boldly and bravely, he volunteers in front of his classmates and shares his thoughts about the thing that he likes to do best, but there is a catch. Rather than telling us his favorite activity flat out, which may seem obvious to the listener, Trezekke drops clues and hints to help you and all his furry classmates to correctly guess his favorite thing to do. Do you think you can figure out what Trezekke's favorite thing to do is before the clues run out?

The multicultural focus behind the book’s message is one that places importance on the value of coming together to share your interests and ideas with others while also discovering new fun things along the way. Whether it is through playing a sport, singing, drawing, or even deciding which of your favorites foods are the tastiest, your favorite thing to do is that which brings out the inner fun-side in you that wants to explore and find new things. We all have that side to us, and it comes out with an even greater creative force when we have others to express those interests with us.

When you listen, you explore ideas and dreams galore! Tender, sweet, and very supportive of those aspects that help children appreciate their unique selves, this is a book to be part of every family's literary criticism and collections library.

Author Lisa Caprelli, again joined by illustrator Davey Villalobos who loves to draw Dr. Seuss inspired art, places us in a classroom of animals - each with personality and creativity and the teacher worm points to the blackboard on which the bee has scribed Guess the Thing I Do.

Teacher worm opens the story with asking for a volunteer for today's speech. Zebracorn Trezekke leads the stage for his animal classmates who are to guess what the thing is that Trezekke likes to do. It inspires kids to develop their own passions and talents!

So what's the THING YOU do? Whether it's Sports and Recreation, Fantasy, Drama and Theater, playing a musical instrument, teaching, rap and hip hop music, basketball, health and fitness, photography, singing, chemistry, fish and marine life, Careers in STEAM: science (medical, doctor, nurse, technology, engineering, the arts or math, you will love this story.
