“Thelma dreams of being a glamorous unicorn. and help the special unicorn that she loves the most.” Thelma the Unicorn by Aaron Blabey
With the help of a magic cloak, a little girl sets out to discover the truth. Puzzled, he promised a reward to anyone who could reveal the unicorns’ secret. But every morning, he’d find the beautiful creatures peacefully asleep in their corral-with their chains shattered. “Once upon a time, a king owned twelve enchanting unicorns that he locked up with golden chains. Goat thought his bike was cool-until he saw that Unicorn could fly to school! Goat made marshmallow squares that almost came out right, but Unicorn made it rain cupcakes! Unicorn is such a show-off, how can Goat compete?” Twelve Dancing Unicorns by Alissa Heyman, illustrated by Justin Gerard “Ever since Unicorn moved into the neighborhood, Goat has been feeling out of sorts. Demon’s only clue is a mysterious note saying “Unicorn Emergency!” left on his bed.” Unicorn Thinks He’s Pretty Great by Bob Shea Not only does he have a groggy volcano monster to deal with, but something seems to be wrong with the unicorns, too. “Demon has just returned from a trip to Asgard when a brand-new set of disasters fall into his lap. What if he tries and fails?” Beasts of Olympus: The Unicorn Emergency by Lucy Coats, illustrated by Brett Bean But Roger is afraid of trying new things. “Lily the unicorn loves making new friends and going on adventures! So when Lily meets her new pal, Roger the penguin, she plans all sorts of fun for them. Here’s hoping for more unicorn books from a wider array of voices in the future-because unicorns are for everyone.Īre there any awesome unicorn books I missed, either favorites from your childhood or new releases? Let us know in the comments! I spent days sifting through unicorn books and failed pretty hard when it came to locating more written by authors of color perhaps it’s an issue of the specificity of the topic. I’ve separated these books about unicorns loosely by age group, but does age really matter to unicorns? I will note that this book list turned out very white, almost entirely so.
Here’s a list of 50 books about unicorns (not just unicorns as “also appearing”), both old and new, that are well worth reading. And while I think dragons have taken over fantasy that involves magical creatures, unicorns are still gamely hanging onto the written word, just waiting for their chance to take over again.
I’m not sure when dragons suddenly took over from unicorns as being “cooler” in my brain, but they never fully expunged these magical horses and their stab-a-guy-ready horns. I don’t know about you, but I went through a serious unicorn phase when I was a kid, which lasted well into high school not because of Lisa Frank, but rather thanks to Sue Dawe and her ability to make unicorns look like they were all stepping off of a heavy metal album cover.
