I read this book to my nine and six year old at home--they love unicorns! This book was funny--both girls loved that the unicorn tooted glitter. This book was a great reminder of the patience every person/animal needs in learning to do new skills.
I also took this book to school. I used this book with a group of girls working on speech sound errors and they adored this book. This book was a great length, was both humorous, endearing, and very kid friendly.

My kindergarteners loves unicorns! The little girl in this book really wants a unicorn of her own. Finally, she gets one but it needs training. It is a difficult process with a lot of bumps along the road. Good book about perseverance!

This is a sweet story about caring for a pet and being persistent and patient when bringing an new four legged member into the family. My daughter is almost five years old and she loved this story. Unicorns are hot property in our home, so this story fit the bill This book would make a great birthday or Christmas gift for a unicorn lover.

This is the story of a little girl who really wants to train a Unicorn which apparently is kind of like training a horse and a dog at the same time. I particularly liked the illustrations - they were bright and fun.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC.

My 5 year old daughter really enjoyed this book. The illustrations are colorful and interesting. The story is funny and entertaining for a parent and child to enjoy together. If you have a unicorn fan in the house, this would be a fun book to have!

I wanted this to be cuter than it was. The artwork was fine but was not a fan of the writing. On the lookout for unicorn books for summer reading at the library next year.

Tilly takes in Splodge a rescue unicorn and is sure training him will be a piece of cake. But unicorn training proves much harder than Tilly thought. Will Splodge ever be a good unicorn?

The author did some really obvious parallels between training a unicorn and training a dog so this would be a great book to somewhat sneakily break it to a little one that having a pet is a lot more work than perhaps they think. Unicorn lovers will eat up the idea of having a little one as a family pet. The bright colors and fun illustration style will grab little readers’ attention. And really, I don’t think you can go wrong with a unicorn. I kind of wanted them to show a few more steps in Splodge’s training, but it was still good. Hand this to unicorn lovers and kids who think they are ready for a pet.

<i>I received an ARC of this title from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.</i>

This book was sent to me to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This book is a beautifully illustrated story that is bright and eye-catching and draws the reader/audience in. My little one really enjoyed this story and wanted to read it again straight after I read it to her.
This book is great for teaching children about the importance of having a pet - that it can be a challenge and not easy and that a pet needs a lot of care, love and attention for it to learn and grow.
A beautiful book we will read again and again.

5☆ A Heart Warming and Fun Children's Story about caring for a pet.

First of all I want to start by saying I absolutely LOVE the eye catching, bright and colourful illustrations, it really bought this heart warming story to life!

Tilly helps out at her local Unicorn Rescue Sanctuary and she loves the unicorns so much she wishes she could rescue one herself.

Well it's a good job Splodge turns up. As Tilly falls in love with him straight away and a bond is formed.

No one said looking after a pet is easy and Splodge is mischievous, cheeky, full of energy, fun, and a zest for adventure.
If only he would listen to Tilly.

Tilly has to learn ways to train Splodge to be more obedient and listen or she is worried her parents will get rid of him.

What I loved about this book was that Tilly refused to give up even when things got tough. It Teaches children how important it is to care for all aspects of raising a pet, not just the fun bits. It Teaches responsibility and perseverance. That patience pays off eventually.

The Characters are Endearing and beautifully drawn out.
The moral of the story is a strong message and is very easy for all ages to understand.
I loved the short sharp dialogue, it helps to keep children's attention.
I also liked thatat the back of the book there was points for discussion and games to play. Although some of those are more geared to the older readers, so some adaption might be needed.

Unicorn Training by Amanda Brandon is the perfect anytime read for children aged 4-9.
Its heart warming, fun, cheeky, and very endearing. I will definitely recommend reading it, it would make a wonderful present.

Thank you to Quarto Publishing and Netgalley for this copy which I reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

My 3 year old. granddaughter absolutely adored this book. The mischievous unicorn and bright colorful illustrations are sure to keep any little one entertained!

Children often want pets; they dream about them, beg their parents for them and then sometimes don't know what to do with the pet that they now have. In Unicorn Training, the story is about Tilly and her Unicorn. It could as easily, but less whimsically, be about a child and their dog. With simple text and delightful illustrations, readers/listeners will watch as Tilly tries to train her pet and also watch as her pet (not surprisingly) charms the family.

The book concludes with discussion questions and activities. It is geared toward pre-schoolers.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.

Super cute. It has a different take.on the unicorn craze. Splodge is a unique unicorn that needs to be trained. Tillie takes it upon herself to get the job done. This is a cute funny story with great illustrations.

Unicorn Training is magical. The start to end kept the interest of the listeners, and the illustrations brought big smiles. There was a hard problem, but it was hard work that made it possible to over come. That’s is a lesson everyone can be reminded of!

This book was really sweet. The pictures are bright and cheerful and appealing to young children. My five-year old laughed at the funny bits and was serious and thoughtful at the serious parts. The book was simple, but not too simple. I think it’s a positive and fun way to introduce the concept of the work that is needed to bring a new pet into your home (with a magical twist).

will not let me download so can not review. ts a shame becasue this looked really cute too. hopefully it will fix it self up so when the time comes i can.

Thank you NetGalley and publishers for an ARC.

In the ever popular love of Unicorns, one girl takes on the reigns of training them. Although they are beautiful creates, she will learn that they are work as well.

A wonderful story for lovers of unicorns that teaches responsibility and problem solving.

This book is just a saccharine cute way to teaching kids how to take care of pets.

It shows that even when you try to train them, the right way, they don't always obey.

Tilley tries to train her unicorn, but it is either stupid, or just disobedient, and Tilly grows ore and more anxious.

Cute book on teaching responsibility, with a brightly colored illustrations.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

Unicorns are all the rage right now and they make the perfect vehicle for learning about perseverance for young children. Unicorn in Training was a wonderful story about a naughty, dirty little unicorn that wasn't very good at learning or being trained. But thanks to the help of one special girl, the unicorn learns how to work hard and essentially learns how to learn. Cute book. My kids will love it.

*received from netgalley for honest review* so I wont lie this is a really cute book and at first looked really promising but ended up being a let down... the idea is so cute, the art is cute but the book and "training" was very short and the book ended quickly, Not really a bad book but I the 7 year old I usually read these to would consider this "too babyish" but would be good for like 4 and under.

This was pretty fun.
I especially enjoyed the expressions on the unicorn faces.
This book is probably more about trying hard and not giving up than anything else.
In any case I think tiny humans and adults alike can get a giggle out of this and will enjoy the illustrations.
Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - QEB for my DRC.
