A physical copy of this book was kindly provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This comedic picture book features Professors Glitter Pants, Star Hoof, and Sugar Beard (plus trusty lab assistant Pete)—the world’s leading unicorn experts—as they deliver the facts, settle the mysteries, and show readers that unicorns are more than just horns and rainbows.

⤖ My Review ⬻

Since I like unicorns so much, Unicorns 101 was recommended to me and I’m definitely glad I read it! The outside and inside of the book are both very colourful (which is something I love, especially when it comes to children’s books). I found this book to be very funny as well and using a kind of humour that can be enjoyed by readers of all ages.

I also like how the way the interior of Unicorns 101 was laid out to look like a textbook. (You can see examples of what the inside of this book looks like on its Amazon.com page.) This would definitely make the information seem more legitimate for kids, and since I think children should believe in mythical things for as long as possible, I’m all for that! This was definitely a fun read and I absolutely recommend it.
