I’m a Unicorn

Rating: 5 of 5
I have been picking up various Little Golden Books for my grandchildren. I’ve been impressed with the wide range of books available compared to the number of titles I had for my kids.
I’m also a fan of artist Joey Chou and have a number of his other children’s books, so I was very pleased to find this new book by Mallory C. Loehr with his illustrations.
I picked this book up for my granddaughter who is just two years old. While she is used to board books, I wanted something to transition her to paper books. This was the perfect book for that purpose.
While many Little Golden Books are somewhat wordy (perfect for an older child like my four year old grandson), they are a little difficult to read to a younger child who has a shorter attention span. That is not the case with this book. At most, there is one sentence per page and often, there is only one short sentence that spans across two pages. This is the perfect amount of text for a younger age group.
The unicorn in the book is adorable with its pink body and purpose hair. There are other unicorns in the book that are different colors as well as other animals and boys and girls not to mention a surprise addition of some forest gnomes. I’m really enjoying the book and will have a lot of fun reading it to my granddaughter for a few years.
