Giddy Up, Unicorn!

Thank you Netgalley and Charlesbridge for the amazing ARC in exchange of an honest review.


This is a lovely story about a girl and her dad and their love for unicorns. The illustrations are beautiful and vivid and story tells us how life completes a circle.

Highly recommend it.

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.

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!

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.

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

This is a lovely father and daughter story about a little girl who loves unicorns. Her friends always know what to get her for her birthday, and her room overflows with unicorn posters and stuffies.

Her big, brawny father also indulges her passion by reading her bedtime stories about these mythical creatures - and he even dresses up with her as a fellow unicorn for Halloween!

But eventually she grows out of unicorns, and develops other interests. So what will happen to her collection now...?

I was not expecting this to be as emotional as it was, or maybe it was just me. Either way, I loved it. This is such a sweet story all parents can relate to. A father watching his little girl grow up and change. When your child has a special interest, this book features the love of unicorns, as a parent you do everything you can to allow your child to express that. My favourite part of this book is the way the dad looks. He's this big, bearded, tattooed, intimidating-looking guy but like most guys like that, he's a huge teddy bear. I also love seeing more tattooed parents in books, as a tattooed parent it's nice to see.

This book is both beautifully written and beautifully illustrated. This is definitely one I'll be purchasing a physical copy of when it is released.

This book is such a warm hug for the soul. I loved it so much I almost cried!

It's about a little girl who grows up loving unicorns, and her father does everything in his power to make her happy. Soon enough, she begins to grow and move on from the unicorn phase. What will happen now? I loved the inclusivity and the fact that he's a single dad and a tough guy with tattoos and a bushy beard, but he plays unicorns with his little girl! The ending was surprising, and I enjoyed it so much!

It's a great book with awesome illustrations that show a manly man being soft and a great father!
