Uni the Unicorn
Though this isn’t the general population’s view, we tend to avoid stories with magical powers or magical wishes and sometimes mythical creatures, depending on how the book is written. We didn’t want to put that in our little one’s head until our little one was able to understand the difference between reality and imagination. We thought it’d be easier to understand the world that way rather than go back and try to correct reality when our little one got older. So, for us, this was mostly a skip. But if you don’t mind the magic or the unicorn, it is a fun twist on a unicorn story, being written from the perspective of a unicorn. There’s a bit of symmetry to the story with the unicorn and the little girl, which we tend to find if done right is good writing, which we think fits here, but some might find that part a bit repetitive or boring. As for the illustrations, which are a critical part of a children’s book, it was illustrated well, with pretty colors. There was a slight geometric dimension to the drawings, they weren’t as smooth as we like, but the colors overcame that aspect for us. We especially enjoyed the slide down the rainbow.
Cautions: If you don’t like magical powers, magical wishes or mythical creatures, this is a skip. But if you don’t mind, it’s a creative twist on a story about a unicorn.
