Unicorns Know Magic by Charles T. Adkins, illustrated by Ros Webb, has a colorful cover that looks like a colored pencil painting with unicorns flying across it and two children waving to them.

Abby, Georgia, Bitsy, and Chase are a family of unicorns that came from Mars and moved next door; they consist of four unicorns, and each can fly. The narrator and his sister started flying with the unicorns on their backs, and the unicorns took them to many far and lovely places like France and London, but what will happen when their parents find out that they've been on an adventure flying on unicorns? Read this book to find out.

One thing about the book is that it rhymes, which can help children increase their literacy skills and knowledge. I also like that it contains essential French words that children can learn. I also like that the kids were brave and bold enough to fly with the unicorns and be well-behaved with them and in the new places they traveled to. The unicorns were not perfect, but they were clean, and children can learn how to be clean from reading this book. Also, children can see other countries and the things that happen there, just like their France trip in this book. Another thing I like about the sibling duo is that they were mostly together.
 
I do not dislike anything from this book except that it was unrealistic, but I like how it portrays unicorns as wise, intelligent, and obedient animals. Also, the unicorns in this book eat only vegetables, so children can see the importance of eating vegetables, especially the little ones that don't like vegetables. It was exceptionally well edited, and I found no errors while reading it; therefore, I rate it five out of five stars. The text on each page was simple and short.
 
I recommend this book to children fascinated by unicorns; they will learn more about this animal from this book.

A frictional book that can help kids imagine more.
I like that it can help them making healthier diet decisions like eating more vegetables and being bold.
Great review, well done, moo reny.

I can't lie the concept of this book sounds quite funny and unrealistic for me as an adult but I'm sure children will enjoy it. Unicorns coming from Mars? Funny and exciting. Thank you for a good review, well-done.

The book seems like what children would like due to how colorful the cover page is. I would also love to read this book also.

I’ve read this storybook and I’ll say your review is on point. I like how colorful the storybook is. It will help attract the children. There are also some moral lessons.
