Share This Review

Charles Adkins takes the reader on a journey with unicorns as their neighbours. The story is from the point of view of two children. Their new neighbours are a family of unicorns named Abby, Georgia, Bitsy, and Chase. The author further describes each unicorn and their talents, like the ability to sing any song. The unicorns and children go on a trip. The children fly on the backs of unicorns. In France, they learn a few French words and have croissants. While in London, the group meets the queen and joins a parade. After roasting marshmallows with unicorns and listening to the unicorns' stories, they head home. Charles Adkins also takes the readers on a day at school with unicorns. Unicorns are brilliant with good behaviour. He also describes home chores and undesirable behaviours.

I especially enjoyed the illustrations done by Ross Web for Unicorns Know Magic. He encompasses both artistic and childlike depictions. The book's illustrations are lively and vivid. The art style encourages readers to copy the figures. This book teaches children about Paris and London. Apart from this, the language is simple and includes a few new words for young readers. The rhyming scheme used is easygoing. It also distinguishes between good and bad behaviour. The children are also given insight into household chores.

I was not a fan of the book depicting a child being called cool by their friends. They have to do or have something extraordinary at school. It may arouse a vain desire to be that way in class. The text font was slightly tough to read.

I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. Despite the perception stated above, the storyline teaches children the names of vegetables and household chores. It also shows how to express gratitude and farewell to cherished friends. The book was also well-edited and did not have any errors.

I recommend this book to young readers who particularly love unicorns. Children who like to dream of faraway lands will also cherish the book. It makes a good bedtime story for them.

Great review! I completely agree with your thoughts on the vivid illustrations and simple language used in the book. The storyline, taking the children and unicorns on an adventure to different cities, is also an excellent way to teach young readers about different cultures and lifestyles. The distinction between good and bad behavior is also a valuable lesson for children. I also appreciate your constructive criticism about the vanity aspect and the text font being tough to read. Overall, 5 out of 5 stars is a well-deserved rating and I would recommend this book to young readers who love unicorns and imaginative stories.

Unicorns were always my favourite creature in childhood and I had an obsession with their horns. This book feels perfect for children with similar likings.
