We love unicorns in our house and are always on the lookout for new books!

This book was adorable and sweet. I love using ‘wee’ as small as an American and my kid now says wee for small things.

Definitely pick this up! Love the illustrations and how cute everything was.

Omg! Omg! A kid's picture book with a map in the beginning - and I already knew I was up to a great start. And it did not disappoint!

The story? Fun and fantastic! The characters? A joy! The illustrations? Stunning and brilliant!

There was adventure, there was a lot of fun, there were a lot of lessons - not judging, dealing with our fears, first impressions, being yourself! So many good things in one little picture book!

I had a blast!

Wee Unicorn is not magic, though everyone expects that she is, and she feels the weight of their disappointment. When she meets a monster, she initially treats it unkindly but realizes that she might have made a mistake. She seeks out the creature, searching far and wide through the Ancient Forest, even venturing into the Dark Wood. Once she reaches the water and locates it, she’s surprised to find that the creature is nothing like she expected.

You can’t go wrong with a book featuring a unicorn as the main character as unicorn books continue to be in high demand with young readers. Beyond the unicorn character, the book features beautiful illustrations and powerful, important messages about being yourself and not jumping to judge others. The book’s hybrid style that intersperses the traditional picture book format with intermittent use of graphic novel panels and speech bubbles will engage and delight a variety of readers.

#WeeUnicorn #NetGalley

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and thank you for giving me an opportunity to read this book!

Aw!!! Such an adorable book! The unicorn in this book is not your typical unicorn! If you think this unicorn is magical too, nope, you’re wrong. In fact, this unicorn is quite loud too!

An inspiring story of self acceptance and self confidence. We need to accept ourselves as we are and understand that we are perfect just the way we are! Yes, we need to focus on what strengths we have and not on what we don’t have in us!

This story has gorgeously bright illustrations and is great for a read-aloud or for a wee one to read to themselves.

Wee Unicorn is sure to be a favourite on many bookshelves and a must read for unicorn lovers!

Love Wee Unicorns traits, her loud, spunky self which isn’t often depicted. This story is beautifully told with lots of fun Scottish creatures for all to enjoy, like Nessie!

We will be stocking up for birthday gifts!

5 stars. Thanks for the ARC

I LOVED this book! It is exactly the kind of thing that would have become an instant favorite of mine as a child. The illustrations are so colorful and captivating and the story itself is whimsical and touching. All around a lovely representation of the importance of being yourself :-)

Thank you Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book. These opinions are completely my own.

Adorable funny story with a wonderful message,: be yourself. Everything about this book screamed whimsy and I love it. The illustrations have so much to see, you'll never catch all the little things the first time reading through.

I was happy to get to read this through NetGalley for my honest review. I will say, I don't love all Unicorn books, but my daughter is big unicorn fan. The message about being yourself is perfect for both your reader and you. Our favorite part was the ending of both Unicorn and Ness being loud together. The book is a beautiful array of colors and not just like a rainbow threw up all over the page. I would highly recommend this book to others.

I cannot express how much I loved this book, I dare say more than my unicorn obsessed little. The illustrations in this book are gorgeous. They are so vibrant and colorful with a touch of whimsy. The story line was great and my kids were able to understand and grasp the message. This story is such a lovely reminder of the power of believing in yourself and the true value of friendship. I cannot wait to add a copy to my home library.

Such a sweet story about finding friendships in the least expected way. Wee Unicorn is sweet and the drawings are beautiful in their watercolor elements
In a world that is divided today, Wee Unicorn is a beautiful depiction of how we can set our fears and differences aside to look into others hearts and find something purely special. I will be reading this to my speech students as we talk about forgiveness and being kind to one another.

Yayyy, this was awsome! Wee Unicorn's search of identity with a message at the end of the book is highly warming and entertaining. Children can follow Wee in her journey and be content with the ending :)

Wee Unicorn is adorable! The art and colors really make this story a delightful adventure. Wee Unicorn is small, with no magic, and isn't sure how she fits in. She feels like she should have magic. One day, she is put face to face with a monster...then realizes there might be more to this monster than she knows. As she sets off on an adventure, what will she find?

A beautiful story about finding yourself and seeing others for who they are, Wee Unicorn will have you rooting for her!

Oh my word this was whimsical and touching. The art was beautifully vibrant, and the text placements were well-thought out; I loved how they chose to emphasize certain words. I really think this book is a good example of showcasing a concept in a fun, interesting way without forcing it. 5 out of 5: definitely recommend.

The story and illustrations in this adorable book are outstanding. I only wish they hadn't used the comic style. The preferred traditional picture book layout would have suited the story telling much better. Otherwise a great book your child will love!

Wee Unicorn is a story about being yourself. Wee Unicorn doesn't feel like a proper unicorn because she doesn't have magic. Some of the creatures are kind to her about not having magic, while others are not. She ends up meeting another creature who feels like a bit of an outsider (Ness). They help each other realize that they are perfect the way they are. The illustrations are absolutely adorable and help move the story along.

Thanks to Charlesbridge and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.

This book is very cute and exactly what I wanted it to be! It’s lighthearted but emphasizes the importance of being yourself. I’d recommend for ages 5+
