The Return of Thelma the Unicorn. Aaron Blabey. 2019. [December] 36 pages. [Source: Review copy] [Picture book; animal fantasy]
First sentence: Thelma
felt a little shocked. In fact, she felt quite torn. You see, she’d made
the whole world sad—WE MISSED OUR UNICORN!
Premise/plot:
Thelma, our heroine, returns to “being” a unicorn, returns to the
spotlight, in Blabey’s sequel. This time Thelma has the support of a
very good friend, Otis.
My thoughts: I have not read the first
book. (If I have it was so forgettable that I don’t remember doing so.) I
enjoyed this one. I enjoyed Thelma and Otis. I thought the rhyming
worked well. Did I love it? I would not go that far. Unicorns aren’t
quite my thing. I thought it was cute and enjoyable. Little ones that do
love all things unicorn will find it super appealing.
