She loves the pictures and can read the bubble speeches for each character. My 4 year old and I really enjoyed this book. Despite the title, an adorable unicorn and his pug pal are the stars of "Unicorn Not Wanted. It's a cute story line.

They are creative, bright and colorful. Would make a great gift, appropriate for boy or girl.

I would say it's fun enough and the presentation and colorfulness of the book makes it worthwhile and fun read for this kids. This is a well presented, colorful hardcover book with nice illustration. We are happy with this book. The full page spreads really grab your attention.

My 5 year old daughter is reading “I can read” style books and this book is a perfect transition for her. :)

Reading it to someone else might be challenging and confusing, as you would have to change voices or point at the characters so that the audience knows what is going on. Got a few laughs out of her and we have a pug as well so it made the book more enjoyable.
