Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for an advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is an adorable little book, which is so integral and important for children to help with their own personal development at a very young age, whilst also telling a cute tale to go alongside.

My 7-year-old who is an advanced reader really enjoyed this story, especially as she loves unicorns. She really liked the unicorn illustrations that were dotted through the chapters. She said:
"I liked it because Maisie was once horrible but now she is nice. I give it 5 stars because it's a lovely tale."

I liked this book. It was simply a very cute book. I read this with my 4 year old nieces and they loved it. We even took turns to read this book.
This book reminded me of all the cute shows I used to watch as a kid. Loved loved loved it!!
It has a very easy language and the characters were extraordinary. It is not just for the kids, but would recommend this to all the age groups.

A dragon and a rabbit are playing in Dreamland when they come across a unicorn with a broken horn crying. She is crying so hard and so much that her tears have created a river. Two children are able to go to Dreamland to escape from the world we live in. They are able to run and play in whatever form they want. Eric usually chooses a dragon and Enya chooses a rabbit.

They soon discover the unicorn with the broken horn is a new girl in school named Cecelia. This is where their lives begin to take a big turn. They soon discover they are not the only ones who can travel to Dreamland, and not everyone/everything is as it seems.

I enjoyed this short story and think my students will like it and learn from it that people aren't always who they appear to be. There may be a reason someone behaves the way they do. The sad girl may be shy or sad. The mean girl may be lonely, scared, or bullied somewhere else.

I give The Broken Unicorn 5 stars.
