Do Not Wish for a Birthday Unicorn!: A silly story about teamwork, empathy, compassion, and kindness (Silly Books for Kids!)

Very cute book! Funny story with lots of creativity and I love the message the book gives to its little readers. Cute illustrations too. Makes for a great addition to a birthday present! Tuck a gift card or cash inside or give with a toy unicorn like we did.

It is fun to have a fantastical wish for our birthday - but sometimes, we get more than we wished for! This story blends the magic of make-believe with the magic of kindness in a fun and fantastical way.

As someone who loves "Do not wish for a pet ostrich" by the same author, I was very excited to read this story next. Just like the first book, this one is a fun and magical read that entertains children and parents alike. The story revolves around Kat, a little girl who wishes for a unicorn-themed birthday party. Her mum agrees to it, and they order the perfect unicorn. There’s just one problem. When the unicorn arrives, it isn’t as shiny and sparkly as advertised! How will Kat and her guests react? Without spoiling the twist ending, I can say that the book delivers an important message about kindness and encourages children to be kind to others, even when things don't go exactly as planned. The book is written in rhymes that flow smoothly and keep children engaged throughout. The illustrations are super fun with lots of details and really bring the story to life. Overall, this is a charming book that my children enjoyed immensely and that they keep wanting to read over and over again.

Bought this for my 3yr old granddaughter and she loved it. The artwork was colourful and the story was very cute with plenty of rhyming words to keep her well entertained.

I think I enjoyed this book just as much as the children! We read this to the little ones 3 times in a row and its since become a firm favourite in our house.It’s a delightful story about Kat a little girl who wishes for a unicorn-themed birthday party. When her mum says ‘Yes’ Kat carefully selects the perfect unicorn, but when she arrives from the Uni Express, they discover she hasn’t bathed in 21 days!The message in this book is around thoughtful, kind and caring intentions, and in particular, the sentence that resonated most for us was;‘For, the spirit of kindness will always shine through- when we all work together to help someone blue.’It’s easy to see why the children love this book so much, it’s silly and rhyming and full of fantasy with mentions of clouds, rainbows, mermaids and fairies, even an ostrich!We can’t wait for the next book and some more laugh out loud adventures.
