Unicorns Know Magic is a 37-page children's book by Charles T. Adkins and illustrated by Ros Webb. This makes an excellent bedtime story for children.

A little kid and his sister are shown in this tale as they get to know their new neighbors. A family of unicorns named Abby, Georgia, Bitsy, and Chase are their new neighbors. The new neighbors immediately strike the children as being out of the ordinary. It wasn't because they were from Mars. Instead, it was because they were flying unicorns. They consume croissants and pick up a few French words while in France. The group attends a procession and sees the queen while in London. They go home after roasting marshmallows with the unicorns and hearing their tales. Additionally, readers were taken on a school day with unicorns.

The author's description of each unicorn and its abilities will fascinate readers. It was engrossing to read about the unicorns' intelligent and admirable actions and the children's adventures while riding on their backs. The free-flowing narration of this novel is one of its best features. Its inclusion of uplifting messages throughout the narrative impressed me. The unicorns appreciated their companions and exerted every effort to assist anyone nearby. This will undoubtedly teach the readers to treat their friends the same way.

I particularly liked this book's illustrations. They included both artistic and cartoonish representations. They also had life and vividness. I was also pleased to learn that the language was straightforward and had a few new vocabulary words suitable for beginning readers. The rhyme scheme is laid-back. The text also made a distinction between right and wrong conduct.

For each of the reasons mentioned above, I'll give this book a rating of five out of five stars. There were no unappealing components in the novel, either. I saw no errors. Thus, it was well-edited.

I recommend Unicorns Know Magic to kids who are enamored with unicorns. This book will appeal to kids who prefer to imagine fantastical worlds. Even though this book mainly targets younger readers, I think older kids would still like reading it.

I'm a huge fan of books that are children's books. It is always short and encompasses salient yet vital messages. Thanks for the well written review.

This book would interest a lot of children. The unicorns in the story, the little adventure in it, the colorful easy-to-draw pictures, and the short poem-like descriptions all make this book attractive to children.
