Reviews

The Yawnicorn is a beautiful story for bedtime, with lovely illustrations. The children in reception loved it. I always like a lovely rhyming book too and this one did not disappoint. The children loved the colourful pictures in the book and the the unicorn in the story, too, which added a little magic to bedtime.

The children were able to relate The Yawnicorn to their own bedtime and dreams, and we discussed how they felt like this would be a good story to help them settle down to a good night's sleep and dream perfect dreams about unicorns, magic and rainbows!
