Unicorns Know Magic by Charles T. Adkins is a short story about siblings and their adventures with unicorns. The family of unicorns moved next door to the siblings. The unicorns, Bitsy, Chase, Abby, and Georgia, had unique things they could do. The unicorns can fly. They took the children on adventures to different countries, tried new foods, and even learned a new language. At night, they had fun camping. The fun continues as the unicorns accompany the children to school. Read this book to discover the fun adventures the children and unicorns go on and what magical things unicorns can do.

This book is written in rhyme. The inclusion of pictures made reading it fun. The author made sure to include the unique things each country had. This way, readers can learn about these countries. I was delighted to find pictures of the Eiffel Tower when the children visited Paris, France, and the Queen when they visited London.

I loved how the author made sure to include that unicorns eat their vegetables and help with cleaning up after meals and chores. This will encourage children to eat vegetables and help their parents around the house. I also loved how the author made sure to include that the unicorns followed the rules at school and were attentive and respectful, as was shown when, during recess, they stopped flying the children around when the teacher said so.

I wouldn't say I liked the font, as it was too small and made reading the book difficult. Also, the bad table manners exhibited by the unicorns may give children the wrong idea.

I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. This is because the book was beautifully written, and the writing style was simple and easy to understand. The beautiful illustrations and the vibrant colours made reading the book much more fun. I found no errors, showing that this book was amazingly well-edited.

I recommend this book to children between the ages of two and nine. It makes for a good bedtime story, and it's a fun way for children to learn about other countries and build their vocabulary.

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.
