Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Unicorns Have Bad Manners Read-Along
Rachel Halpern · 2022
68/100
👎 Skip It
Periwinkle the bad-mannered unicorn is genuinely funny for about thirty seconds — the cookie-dunking and horn-polishing gags land with the preschool crowd, and the illustrations are bright and cheerful. The problem is the book doesn't have much more to offer beyond that single joke stretched thin, and the read-along format is its best practical feature. A fun library pick but not essential shelf space.
