The box never clarifies what the difference between “floating” and “flying” is, but surely he doesn’t need both.

Even so, the unicorn charm might be the weak link of the bunch. The world is already colorful. Get a job, unicorn.

    Flying requires speed, otherwise you would stall. Please make sure your kids remember this, it is important.

      That’s true for aircraft, yes. But for humanoids, there’s an art, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

            I wonder what would have happened if Terry Pratchett teamed up with Douglas Adams like he did with Neil Gaiman (someone whose work I enjoyed before recent revelations).

      When a bird hovers in place, it’s no longer flying it’s floating?

      TBF, not all birds can do this;so it being a separate skill/power adds up.

        Kestrels do this, which makes them easy to recognize.

        If you’re a kestrel, feel free to ignore my advice.

      Conversely, I would say that floating lacks control. You’re at the whim of air currents, and changes in pressure.
