Bo's Magical New Friend: A Branches Book (Unicorn Diaries #1) by Rebecca Elliott 

by Leave a Comment

Bo’s Magical New Friend: A Branches Book (Unicorn Diaries #1) by Rebecca Elliott is super sugary sweet, but a fun unicorn story about friendship. As an adult, I could feel my brain relax into a nice mush. I liked this book not so much for the art as it is way too abstract in the sense colors and shapes are really out there, of course you know that is a rabbit/that is a unicorn/that is a troll, but they are child like in nature, almost too bloody […]

Do you believe that Pirates don’t takes baths and there are Groovicorns?

Pirates Don’t Take Baths by John Sega

Do You Believe in Groovicorns? by Rosie Greening

Yesterday was a slow day at work. Therefore, I took a few minutes to look at the new crop of Sale Books that came in. (Long story short, they are just lovely normal books looking for a home, but just have a slightly lower price than usual). Two books that caught my attention were two board books. One, Pirates Don’t Take Baths by John Segal and the other, I actively went looking for as I had been the one to do the data entry on […]

Sophie Johnson, Unicorn Expert (Maybe)

Sophie Johnson, Unicorn Expert by Morag Hood

by Leave a Comment

Sophie is a unicorn expert. And if you do not believe her, she will tell you. And she does that in Sophie Johnson, Unicorn Expert. She knows everything there is to know about unicorns: what they should do, what they should learn, how they should look, what they should eat, even that their horns grow back if they lose them. Sometimes her mother does not agree with how Sophie teaches them (as mothers do not realize that magic is more important than cleaning up messes). […]

Phoebe and Marigold Heavenly Nostrils are the new Calvin and Hobbes

Phoebe and her Unicorn by Dana Simpson

Phoebe and her Unicorn is at times charming and touching, but mostly it is funny, and overall an entertaining read.  What began in 2012 as a daily webcomic (originally titled Heavenly Nostrils) has now been gathered into seven graphic novels, and is still being posted daily by author and artist Dana Simpson.  On the strong recommendation of a friend I picked up the first graphic novel, Phoebe and her Unicorn, for my six year old.  She loves it, her ten year old sister loves it, and I quite […]

Just be Yourself… unless you can be a Unicorn, then be a Unicorn.

Thelma the Unicorn by Aaron Blabey

by 5 Comments

So obviously we all want to be unicorns. Unicorns are special and magical and made of glitter and sparkles. I got this book for Little Squishie, who is a magical sparkle unicorn of a child. She is the most Herself person I know, and even though she is only 3 years old, I never want her to lose that sense of herself as special and magical. I’m not sure about this book though. The more we read it, the less I like the message. The […]
