uni the unicorn and more awesome unicorn books for kids!

March 27, 2017 ashley donati

Do you know a kid who is crazy for unicorns?  We are going to a birthday party this weekend for a preschool friend of my four year old, and her mom told me she is a big unicorn fan.  I have the perfect birthday gift for her! 

This is the story of Uni the Unicorn who believes with all her heart that little girls are real.  She loves reading stories about little girls and doodling pictures of these imaginary creatures.  Her friend unicorns tell her that little girls are just make-believe.  They aren't real.  But Uni keeps on believing until one day, she meets a little girl and happily becomes her friend. 

The subtitle in this story is "a story about believing", and I love that message of hope.  The illustrations in this are just gorgeous!  So bright and colorful and happy.  Sharing this book is bittersweet because it is written by author Amy Krouse Rosenthal who recently passed away too soon.  Her wonderful stories live on. 

BTW, this portion of my post contains affiliate links.  What does that mean?  I might get a small fee if you purchase something here at no extra cost to you.  Those fees help keep my blog running but have no influence over my content.  Win/Win!

Do you have a unicorn fan in your life, or are you one yourself?  Here are more great unicorn reads to peruse!
