Sophie Johnson: Unicorn Expert

LoveReading4Kids Says

Anyone who shares their house with a unicorn or unicorn fan needs a copy of this lovely picture book. Little Sophie Johnson is a self-confessed unicorn expert. She has 17 – though it’s amazing what or who can be turned into a unicorn by the simple addition of a cone or even toothbrush to the forehead.

Caring for them keeps Sophie busy, and Mummy (who we never see) doesn’t always understand that magic is more important than mess. It’s a great celebration of the power and fun of imaginative play, and Sophie’s unicorn filled world is depicted with real charm in Ella Okstad’s illustrations, the page on which she teaches her horned friends about the dangers of balloons is terrific!
