Tom’s Mom – 5 stars – Captivating and Stunning Illustrations
Introduced to this book by a young friend who loves unicorns and chose this book from her school library. There is some subtlety here that may go over the head of young readers or a read aloud audience. The fun of the story for the adult is offering clues to get below the obvious and admiring the vivid illustrations.

Tonja Drecker – 5 stars – Sweet, fun read to make even younger listeners giggle and snort
With a quirky girl, tons of imagination and piles of humor, this is a cute read which is sure to cause giggles too.
Sophie Johnson is a self-declared unicorn expert. Her room is packed full of them, and she spends most of her time caring for them. She teaches them to hunt. She fixes their horns. She even discusses magic with them. When a real unicorn decides to join in, it should be the best day of her life. Except there is a problem. Sophie might be a unicorn expert, but she can’t see them.
With a sparkly cover and lots of unicorn bliss, the cover already draws in. Sophie herself is quite the handful. She’s a bit bossy, ready to proclaim every bit of knowledge she does and does not have, and lets imagination flow to the extreme. She’s exactly the type of mess kids will find fun and silly, but also recognize Sophie’s mistakes (even when she doesn’t). The unicorn’s appearance and Sophie’s inability to recognize he’s even there, bring even more humor along.
The illustrations are colorful and full of as much fun as the text itself. It’s the illustrations which let the unicorn’s role happen and shine. The illustrations are done in a frivolous, shift-with-the-wind fashion, which completely fits Sophie’s attitude.
This is a cute book, which makes a very easy read for even younger listeners and is sure to harvest more than a couple of snickers and giggles along the way.
