Customer Reviews

Cute story

This series is great for my 5 year old. It is difficult to find books that are at the right reading level but not too mature for her age - most of the popular series seem to include bratty characters, which is fine for an 8 year old but not so much for a 5 year old. The Secret Unicorn books are mostly harmless and what little girl doesn't love unicorns and magic?

Great Series of Books

This series of books is super cute and great for 1st and 2nd grade readers. Scholastic only has published 4 of these in the U.S. but there are over 20 books in the series. You can find the other ones from the U.K. online if you look.

An enjoyable story for young horse lovers

My 4 year old loves this story. She had us read it to her 3 times in a row, and has taken to reciting the "spells". She wants to make sure that she remembers them for when she gets her own pony. (Where she got the idea that that WOULD happen, I am not sure.) It is enjoyable for both youngster and adult. The story is more simplistic than I think is necessary for the target age bracket, which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

Thoughts from my 7 year old daughter

My daughter and my wife read this together for bedtime. My wife said "it was a very cute book and it was hard to stop reading. It was very magical and fun." My daughter says "I really liked it. I loved the magic stuff in the book. I want to get more My Secret Unicorn stories." We have purchased the next book Dreams come true for her to read on her own. It was a great way to bring more love of reading into her life.

my 6 year old daughter loves this book

My daughter loves this book. She was very enchanted by the story. This was the first one in the series we read together. I can't wait to buy her the others. I also enjoyed reading it. Sometimes, kids books are so easy that they have no magic. This one had magic and imagination...great combination as a read-aloud or read-alone.
