Giddy Up, Unicorn! is an adorable picture book focusing on the sweet relationship between a father and his daughter. I loved the way the 2 characters were presented, especially the adorable way the tattoos were depicted in the illustrations. The story was very fast & simple, but it was a really moving family relationship.

Thanks to NetGalley, Dani Gomez, and Charlesbridge for the opportunity to review

What were you obsessed with when you were a kid? Emma loves unicorns, and her father does too... or maybe he loves spending time with his little girl.

Using unicorns as a symbol for the intense and all-encompassing love children feel, this story navigates the relationship of a father and daughter duo. Little ones will love the pictures and fun scenes, and grown-ups will see themselves and the reflection of how they love and were loved, sometimes for a while... sometimes forever.

It's the perfect story for everyone: little girls who love unicorns, fathers who love their daughters, girls who grew up and now don't like unicorns anymore, mothers who once were little kids, and boys who will grow up to be told they need to forget about childhood's magic... even if it's not true.

This book is adorable! I loved the bond between the little girl and her father! Her love of unicorns was sweet and I enjoyed how that evolved as she got older.

The illustrations are so sweet. I loved the use of whimsy and color! Plus it was fun to see the dad with his tattoos.

My four year old son enjoyed this book and I definitely recommend this book to any young unicorn lover!

I love this book! Emma loves unicorns and her dad. Emma has unicorn stuffed animals, posters, costumes and even her own drawings are all unicorns. As she grows older, her focuses on other things she enjoys. She grows up, becomes a mother and now her, her daughter and her dad bond over the unicorns that she once loved.
