My Review

I chose to read this book after receiving a free e-copy from the author. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.

All Darcie wants for her birthday is a unicorn. She has a beautiful pony named Sable, but Darcie still wants a unicorn. She is thrilled when her dream comes true and a unicorn comes into her room on her birthday morning. The first thing she wants to do is introduce the unicorn to Sable. What she finds is the best surprise of all!

This adorable story rhymes and the illustrations are bright and colorful, almost magical. Best of all, it teaches about friendship and gratitude. What a wonderful way to teach important life lessons!
