A cute colorful children's book that discusses responsibility and hard work while never giving up. A simple lesson on perseverance in childlike terms. Colorful pages with animated illustrations. A great message for kids.

Unicorn Training is about a girl named Tilly that volunteers at the Unicorn Rescue Sanctuary. She really enjoys helping out, but Tilly really wants a unicorn of her own. One day, a scruffy little unicorn name Splodge arrives at the sanctuary. Despite his appearance and rough nature, Tilly feels that Splodge is the right unicorn for her and she convinces her father to take Splodge home. At home, Tilly is convinced that she can train Splodge to be the best unicorn ever, but she quickly realizes that training a unicorn is harder than she expected. Tilly decides to teach Splodge just one thing...his name. He begins catching on and soon Tilly's parents are teaching Splodge new things too. Tilly, her parents, and Splodge all eventually have that "fizzy fuzzy" feeling that comes with being loved.

I have a major unicorn lover in my house, so I was very excited to review this book. I love the idea of Tilly trying to train the unicorn in the same way that we've been working on training our puppy. I know my daughter, and many other unicorn lovers, will adore this book with the cute illustrations and concept of a unicorn as a pet. I appreciate the idea that Tilly chose a unicorn that wasn't "perfect" and loved him anyway. I also enjoyed that Splodge improved his behavior and became a better pupil as he got more used to the family. Training a pet definitely is not easy, it takes time and dedication and this way effectively communicated in this book.

I received a free copy of this title from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
