"Unicorns Know Magic," written by Charles T. Adkins and illustrated by Ros Webb, is a delightful and pleasant read with just 37 pages. It's dedicated to Melinda, although there are no details on who Melinda is.

The story revolves around a family of unicorns born in the stars who move next door to a boy and his sister. The boy appears to be the narrator of the story, and the unicorns are Abby, Georgia, Bitsy, and Chase. Each of the unicorns has a unique talent and ability, and they can all fly. They take the boy and the girl to many great cities around the world, but were the unicorns completely great? Are you curious about their adventures and other things they did with the boy and his sister? Read this colorful children's book to find out.

The colorful and bright painting on the book's cover is the first thing that caught my attention and made me fall in love with this book immediately. I'm not a fan of blue colors, but this book cover is blue, and I love it. The shimmer, the rainbow, and the picture pages right after the cover—there's nothing to dislike about this book. The endings of the sentences rhymed in a way I liked and made it feel like I was reading poems—short and precise. I like how the unicorns were brilliant and not gluttonous, and they ate vegetables too, which is healthy.

I noticed that this colorful children's book doesn't have a table of contents, although the book is really short, and there might not be a need for it. I also noticed that the kids didn't get permission from their parents for their adventure. However, this is just an observation, and this is not a dislike on my part, as it did not affect my overall enjoyment of the book. This book is exceptionally well-edited, and I didn't come across any errors while reading it. I rate it a 5 out of 5 stars.

I recommend it to children aged 6–10, as it portrays the importance of being smart and tidying up after eating. They can pick up the good habits of the unicorns, and little children yet to read can be guided by their parents to let them know the good characteristics of the unicorns that they should emulate and the bad ones they should avoid.

This book seems to have an easy and endearing feel. The rhyming, the book cover, and the incorporation of the unicorns contribute to create that feel. It's nice that there are lessons for children as well.

The concept of a family of unicorns with unique talents and abilities, taking the boy and his sister on adventures, adds a touch of wonder and magic to the narrative

Unicorns are fairytale creatures. Reading about them would be interesting. It would even be more interesting to know them from a child's point of view. Great review.
