Uni the Unicorn
What's Uni the Unicorn About
Amy Krouse Rosenthal’s New York Times bestselling story of friendship, unicorns, and the power of believing! Uni is just like all the other unicorns . . . except for one thing: she believes that little girls are REAL. This magical story by Amy Krouse Rosenthal (author of I Wish You More) illuminates Uni’s not-so-fantastical dream and celebrates the sparkle of believing. Uni the unicorn is told there’s no such thing as little girls! But no matter what the grown-up unicorns say, Uni believes that little girls are REAL. Somewhere there must be a smart, strong, wonderful, magical little girl waiting to be best friends. In fact, far away (but not too far away), a real little girl believes there is a unicorn waiting for her, too. This magical story of friendship reminds believers and nonbelievers alike that sometimes wishes really can come true.
What Kind of Book is Uni the Unicorn
Reviews
Kind of a fun, silly premise, and a pretty quick little read. I didn't love it and wouldn't be super interested in reading it over and over again, but if you have a unicorn lover, this would be a fun one. The art was interesting and fun too!
