Ratings and reviews

Sweet Little Story with a Message But Minimal Illustration I have reviewed a few other of this author's children's books, I think about Nessie, which I truly enjoyed and thought children would love. While I like this book's little story and its gently delivered message about jealousy and friendship, I didn't like that there were just a few small illustrations. No full-page illustrations are in this book. Sometimes a lot of text goes along with one single image. I think that young children would not find this book visually stimulating enough to sit through the entire story and be enthralled. The story portion is cute with a good message; just the illustrations lack. NOTE: I didn't realize that this was meant to be a coloring book until I saw it on Goodreads. (I got the eBook from a book review site since I had enjoyed her earlier works.) The simple drawings could be fine then, but there still needs to be more illustrations per number of words or pagess, even if a coloring book. I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.

Beautifully illustrated, Sweet Story I loved Blaze’s story - it reminded me of a story I loved when I was a little kid. I loved the acceptance lesson learned in this story, as well as the bravery and the friendship lessons. The illustrations were lovely and animated, which engages the younger reader as well - my little guy really enjoyed this story!

A sweet story about a unicorn who goes on a quest to find his horn, but finds more than that. It's a story about the worth of the journey, not the destination. Perfect for young ages and well illustrated.
