The Unicorn and the Wild Horses by Claire Philip is a cute book for young readers. My daughter loved that Luna found her true herd. I enjoyed the story and the idea that the horses came to accept Luna. The book has beautiful artwork.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

I read this book to my 7 year old horse man daughter who really liked the book. This review is all her words and feelings on the book. She liked the book and the pictures but she thought the unicorn needed more colour. She liked the story and when they all became friends but she didn't like that the herd was mean to luna.

Having 3 grandchildren ranging in age from 1.5 - 4 years means I've been reading and reviewing more children's books. (Thanks #NetGalley !) The Unicorn and the Wild Horses is part of a beautifully illustrated series of children's books. I would say the age range would be about 4 - 7. In this book, Luna the unicorn joins a herd of wild horses after she arrives in a flurry of shooting stars. Not all of the horses want her to stay but she is encouraged is encouraged by a few. The rest of the herd teases her for being different, mskes fun I f her hirn. She never really feels like she belongs. One day she wanders off as the rest of the herd goes in search of food. Luna falls asleep and has a dream. In her dream she is with other unicorns and they explain to her why she is so special. Then they show her that her herd of horses is in trouble. Luna must use her special magical powers to save her herd! The rest of the herd sees Luna in a new light. Now they understand that being different and unique is OK, it's even good! Luna finally feels like she belongs. She spends the days with her horse herd and her nights with her new unicorn friends. Such a sweet story with a lovely lesson. The story and the illustrations are a great tool for launching discussion.

Luna the unicorn doesn’t quite fit into her herd, but discovers being different can be useful! While a bit cliché in storyline, this book has lovely illustrations that would excite any young student interested in unicorns or magic.

The Unicorn and the Wild Horses had beautiful illustrations and a great moral. I think the dialogue would have been better read aloud if it rhymed. Luna is being made fun of because she's different, but push comes to shove, the wild horses admit that she's special.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the free ebook copy.

This is a sweet story about a Unicorn who feels like she does not belong with her herd of horses. They tease her saying she is different and then one night she dreams that she is with her real herd of Unicorns. She wants to stay with them but they tell her her horse family needs her as they are in trouble and stuck in the snow. She ends up helping them and they apologize for being mean to her. It is a good lesson of how bullying can affect your well being. I think it would be good to show younger kids how words can hurt. The illustration was beautiful and really helped to convey the story.

Thank you to NetGalley and West 44 Books for access to this ARC.

A picture book with gorgeous illustrations and a kind story.

If you look different, don't feel bad about it. Instead, make the most of being unique and having special skills. It's an important message especially for children.
There is just enough text on each page for my 4-year-old, and the drawings are absolutely lovely. I will check the other books in this series.

Many thanks to NetGalley and West 44 Books, Windmill Books for this Review Copy.
