My son told me about this incredible book they’d shared at school and I wanted to read it too but couldn’t find it on Libby or Borrow Box. The book was Kensuke’s Kingdom by Michael Murpurgo.

Instead, I found another book by the same author, and as a fan of unicorns I decided to give it a listen. This book is the one I am reviewing today.

It’s a beautiful children’s story about how the children in the town discover stories at the library. The librarian shares many stories with the children but also a personal one about how she got the unicorn and of the book burnings.

I loved the story and would recommend it to others to share with children. However, be aware that there is a fire, and if that’s a topic your child is triggered by, then this might not be for them.
