I first read this book at NCTE. I have trouble concentrating on what I'm reading when I'm in public - too much going on around me, I guess. But this book, I laughed the whole way through and then found friends to share it with. I knew right then and there this was a special book, because kids are going to want to read this over and over and share it with friends. Just like me.

Too funny! Everything is perhaps not as great as it seems like it would be when you wish for a unicorn. I like the "off-camera" narrator who talks to the main character in the book warning him about his wishes. Pair this with [b:A Unicorn Named Sparkle|25689017|A Unicorn Named Sparkle|Amy Young|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1454880543s/25689017.jpg|45517422] for a fun unicorn text set.

What a cute book and great for storytime. Shows all the ways in which Unicorns cause trouble.

Dyckman tells a humorous and delightful story about a boy who wishes for a unicorn and Climo brings it to life with her unique style. I loved the humour in Dyckman’s story and the interaction the narration has with the character. They speak to each other, rather than the reader and we get to watch this brilliant interaction while the narrator tries to warn of the dangers and trouble of having a unicorn.
Climo’s illustrations are to be enjoyed on their own because once again she has created wonderful drawings that are clever, funny, and suit this story perfectly. The pictures are bright and colourful and small accompaniments to the words on the page, which I love. There are also full page illustrations which allow a lot of fun as you study the drawings and find all the hidden detail and cheekiness that Climo has included.
This is the ideal present for anyone thinking of getting a unicorn and need to know of the hassles they bring before they introduce them into their home.
