Synopses & Reviews
Amy Krouse Rosenthal's New York Times bestselling
picture book about a unicorn who believes that little girls are REAL is
perfect for anyone interested in stories of friendship, unicorns, and
the power of believing!
Uni the unicorn is told there's no such thing as little girls!
But no matter what the grown-up unicorns say, Uni believes that little
girls are REAL. Somewhere there must be a smart, strong, wonderful,
magical little girl waiting to be best friends. In fact, far away (but
not too far away), a real little girl believes there is a unicorn
waiting for her, too.
This magical story of friendship from the bestselling author of I
Wish You More is perfect for Easter and spring-time reading. It reminds
believers and nonbelievers alike that sometimes wishes really can come
true.
Don't miss the sequel,
Uni the Unicorn and the Dream Come True!
Review
"There are certainly
little-girl readers who believe in unicorns just as much as Uni believes
in them, and this will feed their dreaming spirits....A tiny slip of magic that suggests equal quantities of conviction and possibility." Kirkus Reviews
Review
"In this delightfully
entertaining story, children are transported to a land in which unicorns
are the norm and little girls are believed to be mythical creatures....[Uni] will be read, treasured, and loved by young dreamers." School Library Journal
Review
"The throwback illustration
style...and
emphasis on clinging to beliefs that the world dismisses as fantasy
combine to create a story that encourages kids to stay kids as long as
possible." Publishers Weekly
