Critic Reviews

"Nobody captures young children’s body language and expressions better than Roald Dahl Funny Prizewinning author, Rebecca Patterson... a really positive depiction of sibling love and, most importantly, portraying a disabled central character full of agency and fun" LoveReading4Kids
"Everything unicorn is added to this charming story. Bright colour filled illustrations will draw in the readers and they will get a thrill from seeing so many unicorns on the pages and the things associated with them, but also get the message about playing together, about sharing ideas, giving and taking, about friendship" Read Plus!
"Great fun with its diverse cast of characters and a comic-style approach" Books for Keeps
