Super cute! very informative and easy to read, I googled a lot of images of the stuff she mentions. Somehow Christopher Columbus makes an appearance and is, classically, a jerk but what can you do.

This book is a lot of fun! It's great for people who love learning more about folklore and how fantasy creatures have changed over time. Also, I’m sure there would be tons of kids who’d love to read this book. Probably one of my favorite parts about this book is the illustrations—they were beautiful.

4.5 stars. This was adorable and very informative. The author gives us a very short, entirely true history of unicorns, no really. She explains history, myths, and possible creatures that inspired unicorns. She also explains how unicorns have evolved with the times. The art is simple and easy on the eyes, a lot of blue throughout the book. Is it weird that I wanted some pink unicorns? Almost every page has an illustration and there's only one repeated illustration.
Thousands of years have passed yet humans are still enthralled by the mystical beasts. A great little book to add to your tiny human's library.
Now I have to go buy some unicorn inspired items! Especially items with rainbows!
