Do Not Wish for a Birthday Unicorn! is a sweet, creative, magical, and imaginative story that teaches children about kindness, empathy, compassion and teamwork.
Kat is excited about her birthday party. She wants to have a unicorn themed party and asks her Mom for a real unicorn. Kat is very happy when her Mom agrees to get one.
On the day of the party, Kat and her friends eagerly await as her Grandmother goes to pick up the unicorn. When the unicorn arrives, Kat is disappointed - the unicorn looks sick and unhappy. After reading the note that was attached to the unicorn, Kat learns that due to equipment issues, the unicorn did not have a bath in 21 days!
I love the course of action the main character takes to teach young readers: (1) how to turn something that goes wrong into something good, (2) to think about others and not just yourself, (3) to help those in need, (4) to be compassionate/kind/empathetic, and (4) to work as a team. It shows the impact one act of kindness can have on others - not just the person (or animal) being helped but those around them (i.e. Kat's friends/family.)
Animals are always great to use as characters when writing a children's book. Unicorns are trending so it's a great choice. Combining a person main character with an animal is even better.
The story is written in rhyme which makes it fun to read and helps the flow of the story. You keep on reading to find out what happens next.
The illustrations are bright, colorful, and very eye-pleasing. I love the shades of pinks and purples throughout the story.
This is a job well done by the author, illustrator, and all those involved. A must read!
