Thank you Goodreads for the free copy。 My six year old daughters loved this story! Unicorns and dancing, what more do you need!! As far as the story, sibling conflicts was a topic they could relate to easily。 They really enjoyed the story and then the dance/movement breaks。 It was a great story before bed to get their sillies out。 Thanks again。

I won this on goodreads。 It was a cute story to read to the kids I babysit for。 They loved the story about the unicorn and tried to do the movements but the print is to small to read on a kindle。 Wish it was bigger or maybe on a page by itself。 They loved it when the unicorn went to the water and tried to give direction。

Not formatted for KindleI received this as a contest winner on goodreads。 The book looks like it would be fun to read and work out with my grand-daughters but it is too tiny to read and it does not seem like it is formatted properly for Kindle。

Princess Naomi is fed up with everything, so she goes galloping on her horse。 They find a unicorn who needs help。 The unicorn leads them to a mysterious cave opening, and only Naomi is small enough to fit inside and find what the unicorn needs。I loved this cute story! Naomi is so brave and smart to help the unicorn, and the whole fairy tale setting is so fun!Each page includes dance moves and steps that mimic what is happening in the story, so that you can act out the story as you read。 Most of Princess Naomi is fed up with everything, so she goes galloping on her horse。 They find a unicorn who needs help。 The unicorn leads them to a mysterious cave opening, and only Naomi is small enough to fit inside and find what the unicorn needs。I loved this cute story!

The soft art style is so beautiful, and the colors are bright。 The designs for the characters are really adorable and sweet。 I like the fuzzy kind of art。Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for a free and honest review。 All the opinions stated here are my own true thoughts, and are not influenced by anyone。 。。。more

I received a free digital copy of Princess Naomi Helps a Unicorn。 I really enjoyed it。 I loved how the opportunities for physical activity were included in the reading of the story。 This provides younger students with the ability to listen actively。 The book let’s them hear the words, see the illustrations and move their bodies。 That’s a win-win-win situation 😁!

This is a wonderful story for children。 It shows how our emotions show and what we do in response。 I loved how it related actual ballet moves to the story showing we don’t even need words to tell a story。 There is more than one way to display our feelings。 My daughters love the princess story and really enjoyed the unicorn part, pointing and squealing at the pictures。 I won this book in a giveaway but this is my honest review。 We love books and enjoy reading new stories。

In a castle on a hill, a king and queen live with their two lovely daughters。 Princesses Naomi and Miranda are usually quite close, but like any siblings, they have their fair share of conflicts。 One day, Princess Naomi becomes so angry at her sister that she leaves the castle for the sanctuary of the stables and her beloved horse, En Tournant。 As they ride around the nearby countryside, Princess Naomi discovers another creature in need and she watches as this new sense of purpose helps her ange In a castle on a hill, a king and queen live with their two lovely daughters。 Princesses Naomi and Miranda are usually quite close, but like any siblings, they have their fair share of conflicts。 One day, Princess Naomi becomes so angry at her sister that she leaves the castle for the sanctuary of the stables and her beloved horse, En Tournant。 As they ride around the nearby countryside, Princess Naomi discovers another creature in need and she watches as this new sense of purpose helps her anger melt away。This third book in the Dance-it-Out series by Once Upon a Dance features a new illustrator and more delightful characters to add to the canon。 Designed in a similar way to the other stories, this book has three distinct components that can work together or independently to recount the tale。 On the left side of each page is the illustration, depicting the action in the story。 Opposite that, the page is divided in two: the top half features the narrative and the bottom half introduces corresponding movements and photographs to guide readers physically through the story。 Written for a young elementary school-aged audience, this story focuses primarily on identifying feelings and emotions and managing them in a healthy way。 Accessible text and plot keep the book engaging while imparting its overarching message。 A selection of French words common in ballet are immediately translated within the book instead of in a glossary at the end。 At the beginning, readers find a message from Ballerina Konora inviting them to participate no matter their age or gender, as ballet is suitable for everybody。The illustrations are a lovely, emotion-filled addition to this story。 Created with pencil lines and watercolor, warm hues pair with texture to create dynamic visuals。 Soft and inviting, these images enhance the varying sentiments included in the narrative。Cheerful and heartwarming, this movement adventure will inspire creative expression through imagination。 As readers replicate the behaviors in the story, they will gain a greater understanding of human emotions and how to express them through both words and actions。 This enjoyable story is a valuable addition to young readers’ libraries as they grow and mature into healthy and well-balanced youth。I received a copy of this book from the author and I chose to leave this review。 。。。more
