Never let…series
Wow. I bought this a couple of years ago for my granddaughter and if she really likes something, I will purchase it again for my other great nieces. I highly recommend these books because they are quite fun and help young readers enjoy some silliness.

Great series
My 3 year old loves all of the Never let a Unicorn series books. She can read (has memorized) word for word the Never let a unicorn wear a tutu book. This is a great series. We read them every night.

Lovely story!
Beautifully illustrated and a good story for children. I loved how the author tied in the magic of art can help with healing. However the ending feels forced. I wished the character was more involved with the solution. Please don’t let that discourage you! It’s still a wonderful story.
Rena Henderson –

Johnny Unitas –

Great for learning too. Our favorite thing was that they never gave up and that the unicorn was so creative
Scissors&Glue –
We love all the books written by Diane Alber, and this one is fabulous. I love the creative combination of lessons this books shares with my kids, that of germs, caring for others and the healing nature of creating art. Creating Spot Art is fun and Never Let A Unicorn Get Spots is adorable! I also appreciate the added learning suggestions at the end of the book! Perfect for our homeschool!
