Margaret's Unicorn

Product Information

It’s not a bad ending at all, and in fact Margaret grows through the story and I like how she ends up making a new friend, but I felt like that last page with Margaret and the unicorn ended a little sadly, and if I’m honest, it felt like the author wasn’t really sure how to finish the story so just ended it too fast and in a way which could have been more magical.

Margaret and her family care for the unicorn for one year, and in that time the young girls comes to love her equine companion. Margaret's whole world changes when her family moves to a cottage by the sea to be near her grandma.

The story ends well, although if I’m honest I was a little disappointed with how things finished in the end for the Margaret and the unicorn. And though Margaret misses him, she has made a new friend, and her new cottage is starting to feel like home. A heart-warming story of friendship and kindness brought to magical life by Briony May Smith’s enchanting characters and breath taking coastal landscapes.

I also didn't appreciate the implications of losing the magic in your life as you grow up or make new friends.The setting of the story, in fact, looks decidedly Scottish, with its hills full of thistles and heather. This is probably the best picture book I've read all year, and the strongest unicorn book I've ever read. Kui see raamat oleks mu lapsepõlve ükssarvikufaasis ilmunud, oleks see kindlasti sütitanud veelgi suuremaid unistusi. They find it the right kind of food (flowers from the florist) and the right kind of water (water touched by moonlight).
