Popcorn the Unicorn Danielle Smurthwaite

Popcorn is a Unicorn, and in this story you will see, how he got his special name and how naughty he can be. Unlike other children's unicorn books, Popcorn the Unicorn is aimed at both boys and girls and his mischievous ways will capture their imagination. So what's the story about? Besides the spoiler of it being about a unicorn, the story also includes dragons, pixies and dwarfs. All of these characters are enjoying themselves and somehow the unicorn happens to ruin all their fun. Seeing that everyone is not very happy with the unicorns behaviour, he finds a creative way to apologise to the forest folk and he decides that being good is a lot more rewarding, implementing a great moral for children! The rhyming nature of the book allows a good flow and momentum to the story and includes repetitive verses to encourage children to engage with the story and story time itself. If your child is more of a visual creature, there is 42 pages illustrated in full colour to accompany the story. Boasting a beautiful muted vintage palette this book will easily appeal to both boys and girls, which is unusual for a Unicorn themed book.
