This beautifully illustrated book was a hoot。 I chuckled a few times。 The unicorn was too quick to be caught and the poor kids were frustrated。 I think my grand daughter will be enchanted because she loves unicorns。 I hope she doesn't make a mess trying to catch a unicorn。 This beautifully illustrated book was a hoot。 I chuckled a few times。 The unicorn was too quick to be caught and the poor kids were frustrated。 I think my grand daughter will be enchanted because she loves unicorns。 I hope she doesn't make a mess trying to catch a unicorn。 。。。more

We love these ‘How to Catch a。。。’ books。 This one was no exception。 My unicorn obsessed little girl loved this book。 She’s started getting into the books we read more， and is actually asking questions about the story。 She kept asking me why the unicorn was running away， and why the kids were trying to catch it。 It’s really fun to see her get interested in a story， and wonder why things are happening。 This story is fun， and colorful。 We might have to add this one to our collection。 These books ar We love these ‘How to Catch a。。。’ books。 This one was no exception。 My unicorn obsessed little girl loved this book。 She’s started getting into the books we read more， and is actually asking questions about the story。 She kept asking me why the unicorn was running away， and why the kids were trying to catch it。 It’s really fun to see her get interested in a story， and wonder why things are happening。 This story is fun， and colorful。 We might have to add this one to our collection。 These books are great for older toddlers。 。。。more

Unicorn decides to take a flying trip to the zoo， but the children there keep trying to catch her。 As she flies through， her animals friends jump in to save the day。 Will she manage to avoid being caught？ Th illustrations are colorful and detailed。 The story is simple and engaging。 The two work well together to pull the readers into the story。 A great read aloud for young children or for young readers who enjoy unicorns， fantasy， and rhyming picture books。

A group of kids were at the zoo while a unicorn was visiting one of her friends。 However， when a child noticed her the group decided to make traps around the zoo to try and catch the unicorn。 Although the book is called "How to Catch a Unicorn，" it does not tell you how to actually catch a unicorn。 While most readers looked at this as a negative， I took it as this is what not to do， what different ways do you think you can use to catch a unicorn。 "Can you catch the unicorn？ You'l have to use you A group of kids were at the zoo while a unicorn was visiting one of her friends。 However， when a child noticed her the group decided to make traps around the zoo to try and catch the unicorn。 Although the book is called "How to Catch a Unicorn，" it does not tell you how to actually catch a unicorn。 While most readers looked at this as a negative， I took it as this is what not to do， what different ways do you think you can use to catch a unicorn。 "Can you catch the unicorn？ You'l have to use your brain" （Wallace）。 It is easy to create discussions with students / children and get them thinking outside of the box。 All of the zoo animals helped the unicorn escape so the children did not catch their friend。 All of my students laughed so hard when I said fart。 A great way to bring humor into reading。 This book is recommended for 4 - 10 years old。 Most of all those who love sparkles， glitter， rainbows and unicorns。 。。。more

Not as great as the reviews made it sound when I bought it。 But the illustrations were good。 Overall it wasn’t bad， just not as great as all the hype。

This is an adorable， brightly illustrated picture book with an elusive unicorn that the reader follows in an attempt to "catch" throughout the book。 This is a short， yet engaging， rhyming story that offers a bit of diversity in the group of children pictured。 I find this refreshing to see！ This story would be great for pre-literate and early readers; the pictures are captivating and can easily tell the story for those who cannot yet read。 The passages are appropriate in length and dialogue for t This is an adorable， brightly illustrated picture book with an elusive unicorn that the reader follows in an attempt to "catch" throughout the book。 This is a short， yet engaging， rhyming story that offers a bit of diversity in the group of children pictured。 I find this refreshing to see！ This story would be great for pre-literate and early readers; the pictures are captivating and can easily tell the story for those who cannot yet read。 The passages are appropriate in length and dialogue for those early readers as well。 This also offers a brief， animated look into a zoo， which is always fun for children to see animal associations。 We have recently invested in the "How to Catch a。。。" series; my youngest two children （both pre-literate） love them！ I recommend for all young children and into early elementary age audiences。 This book is not a movie， but I think the series as a whole would make a fun little Netflix series！ Anyone have connections？ Ha！ 。。。more

My daughter was mixed about it。 She loves the drawings， but she didn’t like the ending。

This book has 3。63 stars， the copyright date is 2019， and the major themes in this story include children's resourcefulness， fantasy creatures， and the animal kingdom。 My favorite part of the story is how it is narrated by the unicorn。 The illustrations show the children trying to set traps for the unicorn， but the reader gets a special insight into the mindset of this mythical creature through the narrations。 I would potentially use this book as a read aloud in my elementary classroom。 This book has 3。63 stars， the copyright date is 2019， and the major themes in this story include children's resourcefulness， fantasy creatures， and the animal kingdom。 My favorite part of the story is how it is narrated by the unicorn。 The illustrations show the children trying to set traps for the unicorn， but the reader gets a special insight into the mindset of this mythical creature through the narrations。 I would potentially use this book as a read aloud in my elementary classroom。 。。。more

This week （so far。。。 could end up being longer） Joe is on a unicorn kick。 We got three unicorn books from the library， and this is the first one we tried。 Following a super bright rainbow trail， a group of kids try unsuccessfully to catch a unicorn。So the pros for us are that the illustrations are bright and colorful， with shimmer/glitter。 Another pro: rhyming text。 I'm a fan of this in kids picture books。 Third pro: the whole book is set at the zoo， so you get to see lots of other animals too。 This week （so far。。。 could end up being longer） Joe is on a unicorn kick。 We got three unicorn books from the library， and this is the first one we tried。 Following a super bright rainbow trail， a group of kids try unsuccessfully to catch a unicorn。So the pros for us are that the illustrations are bright and colorful， with shimmer/glitter。 Another pro: rhyming text。 I'm a fan of this in kids picture books。 Third pro: the whole book is set at the zoo， so you get to see lots of other animals too。 Final pro: nice mix of kids pictured， and it's not overtly "girly。" Like， it didn't feel odd at all to enjoy with my son。 The unicorn is ungendered。Cons: the set-up to the premise wasn't really explicit， and I don't think Joe （age 4） would have "got it" without me making a couple comments。 I don't mind doing so， but it's also nice when kids books are written in such a way that the kids get it themselves。 Another con: you never actually see the unicorn in full。 99% of the book you only see his back half; it's only on the last page that you see his front half。 Never both together。 Final con: the illustrations are bright and colorful （and the rainbow trail that goes throughout the whole book contains actual glitter） but they're not going to win art awards。 I think they're digital。Overall， definitely not a bad book。 But it didn't make us laugh out loud and I had to help explain the premise。 If you're not currently obsessing over unicorns like my own four year old， you wouldn't miss anything。 。。。more

I thought this was charming and funny。 I chuckled at the different traps and bait used to lure the unicorn throughout the different exhibits at the zoo。 I enjoyed the bold and vibrant illustrations。 A perfect book for the unicorn lover。

Adam Wallace and Andy Elkerson have produced a very disappointing work。 The rhyming scheme did not possess a regular cadence， which stilts its flow。 To add to this book's woes， the story felt very constructed and forced， when it should have felt very natural。 It feels as though the story just jumps from one area of the zoo to the next， with no bridges in between。 The overall result is text that feels like riding in a car with someone who continually hits the brakes when they drive。The illustrati Adam Wallace and Andy Elkerson have produced a very disappointing work。 The rhyming scheme did not possess a regular cadence， which stilts its flow。 To add to this book's woes， the story felt very constructed and forced， when it should have felt very natural。 It feels as though the story just jumps from one area of the zoo to the next， with no bridges in between。 The overall result is text that feels like riding in a car with someone who continually hits the brakes when they drive。The illustrations， although colorful， feel very commercial。 The zoo itself does not look inviting， and does not look like an accurate depiction of a modern zoo。 Unicorns may be popular， but this is a book better left unpurchased。 。。。more

Maybe 2。5 stars， but I'm rounding down it this case。 It is cute enough with a unicorn， the illustrations aren't bad， I just think the story over all didn't do anything for me。 It was nice that certain words were highlighted。 The paragraphs/verse format was decent。 Still the story itself just really didn't do much for me。 Not a book I would immediately recommend。 Maybe 2。5 stars， but I'm rounding down it this case。 It is cute enough with a unicorn， the illustrations aren't bad， I just think the story over all didn't do anything for me。 It was nice that certain words were highlighted。 The paragraphs/verse format was decent。 Still the story itself just really didn't do much for me。 Not a book I would immediately recommend。 。。。more
