Kaleidoscope Colouring Unicorns, Narwhals and More!

This beautiful colouring book features over 30 stunning illustrations of magical Unicorns and Narwhals as well as enchanting flower patterns. It also includes four pastel markers (green, blue, pink and purple) and two glitter glues (pink and silver) for you to colour in to your heart’s content. The pad is safe inside a hardcover, which also stores the markers and glitter glues, and you can even tear out the pages if you’d like to display your new creations. If you have a child who enjoys colouring in they will love this book, just make sure they know beforehand that they may have to share with mom!

Oscar the Hungry Unicorn

Oscar is a unicorn, but he’s not like any other unicorn you’ve ever seen. He’s a hungry unicorn, and because he’s so hungry and can’t help himself he eats everything in sight. Everything! After he eats his stable he moves on to stay with the witch, but soon has to move again after he eats that delicious sweet cottage. Next up it’s a pirate ship (glug glug), and then he is escorted out of the fairies’ meadow after eating their toadstools. Where will Oscar go and will he ever find a new home?  This is a fun story with bright and beautiful illustrations as well as a glittery cover. It makes my children giggle every time we read it, and because of that I love choosing it at story time. Thank goodness Princess Oola has been searching for a unicorn forever!

Flip-Flap Friends Mermicorns

There’s only one thing more awesome than a unicorn, and that’s a mermicorn. A mermicorn is a mermaid crossed with a unicorn, and the perfect fit for this fun mix and match book. This new split page board book encourages little ones to use their imagination as they flip the flaps and create 72 crazy but cool possible combinations of mermicorns. Each split page features brightly coloured and festively fun mermaid and unicorn characters, with the top and bottom halves labelled differently. As you flap the page you can then create new character names…get ready to meet Twirly Mane Flashy Fin, Candy Stripe Sequin Shell, and Sunshine Pearl Rainbow Toes. Younger readers will enjoy this flip-flap fun!

The Unicorn Prince

The Unicorn Prince is a wonderfully captivating story, filled with beautiful illustrations and enchanting creatures it will capture your child’s imagination and make this a popular choice for story time.

One day she meets an injured unicorn, she helps him and invites him to stay. She soon offers shelter to a family of fairies too. The fairies repay her kindness by repairing the castle, and word spreads of the beautiful woman who now lives in a magnificent castle. Many suitors arrive, but none are keen to share the castle with fairies. Annis wishes the unicorn was a prince for he is kind, the curse placed upon him is broken by her kind heart, and he changes into a handsome prince.
