Who doesn’t love unicorns? They’re magical, they sparkle, they can make it rain glitter and cupcakes, and sometimes they even fly! (Technically, that might be an alicorn rather than a unicorn but I am choosing to be inclusive in this post. Alicorns are also awesome.) Unicorns can also help us discover what is magical about just being ourselves. Here is a selection of unicorn books for babies, toddlers, and children. Unicorns are for everyone.
Unicorn has a magical horn and a magical life and wants to tell the youngest readers about herself in rhyme.
The other unicorns make fun of Uni because she believes that little girls are real—but Uni knows that she will find a smart, strong little girl to be friends with someday. There is also a sequel called Uni the Unicorn and the Dream Come True.
Goat’s life was going pretty well until Unicorn showed up with his obnoxious ability to make it rain cupcakes. Goat wants you to know about all of the cool stuff he can do but you probably just want to hear about Unicorn, right?
Kelp has never really liked living under the sea. He doesn’t look much like his narwhal family. When a strong current sends him to the surface of the water and he finds creatures like himself for the first time, he needs to decide whether he is a land narwhal or a sea unicorn.
For slightly older readers, this collection of stories and poems by Jane Yolen teach readers about the healing power of unicorn horns, how they can purify water, and even how one might go about catching a unicorn. Similar books are available for dragons, witches, and ghosts.
