Product Information

As the author's “About” blurb said she still looks for unicorns, it also seems to contradict her own personal belief. She has also illustrated numerous picture books in the UK, including Little Bear's Spring , T he Giant's Necklace , and Grab That Rabbit!

So disappointing, these two things would have literally taken a few seconds to google and these sort of inaccuracies are very confusing for children. With all the feel of a classic, here is a picture book young readers will want to revisit again and again.Overall it’s a lovely story in general though, and despite the ending I still find the main story really lovely and magical to read, especially when you look at all of the illustrations too!

After they're gone, Margaret finds a baby unicorn tangled in the weeds and she brings it home to winter with her in the old stone cottage. Scotch broom also flowers year-round in British Columbia, where it has naturalized as an invasive species, but this didn't bug me as much as the wrong species (conkers vs. Margaret and her family care for the unicorn for one year, and in that time the young girls comes to love her equine companion.Each picture is so detailed and lovely to look at, with so much to see and such cute images of the unicorn and Margaret. I love that we follow Margaret and her rescue unicorn throughout the year, so we get to see them in a variety of seasons: splashing in the waves, nestled in a cozy bush of autumn leaves, baking holiday dinner, building a snow-unicorn (yes, there’s a snow-unicorn!

Now I know what the author was going for, but the way it was written sounded an awful lot like the unicorn ate Margaret's hand off.
