Sugarlump and Unicorn by Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks (illus.)

My daughter and I love a good unicorn story and this one definitely does not disappoint. Written by the brilliant Julia Donaldson, author of The Gruffalo, this is a wonderful story of a rocking horse that wishes for a better life and the unicorn with the power to grant those wishes.

Sugarlump is given the opportunity to try out different lives including farmer’s horse, racehorse and circus pony before finding her true calling – with help from the unicorn, of course. With rhyming text, delightful illustrations by Lydia Monks and sparkles on every page, this is a story that is sure to bring joy to unicorn lovers of all ages.
