A gorgeous picture book with a very catchy title and beautiful front cover. This is a rhyming picture book perfect for engaging and settling children at bedtime. The illustrations have a dreamy quality and the repetitive rhythm encourages little ones to join in before lulling them to sleep. The characterisation is the main attraction with a fun play on popular unicorns: who doesn't want to meet a Yawnicorn! Thoroughly enjoyed it!

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

The Yawnicorn is a sweet and fun book for bedtime for little ones. The story follows a little girl who can't settle for bed. The yawnicorn takes her to different dreamlands to explore before she finally settles down to sleep. I loved the illustrations and rhyming format of this book and especially loved the magical dreamlike quality to the story and the illustrations, which, for me, made it a perfect bedtime read. This is definitely one I'm going to be looking out for for my granddaughter in a physical format.

This was adorable! A perfect bedtime read that my kids loved. The illustrations were dreamy and soft while the writing flowed well when reading aloud. we read it a few times and my kids loved discussing which bedtime adventure they would go on. Would definitely recommand!

The Yawnicorn is a beautiful picture book that’s perfect to share at bedtime. It follows a restless little redhead (which as the mum of two redheads is lovely to see!) and the Yawnicorn through different dreamlands before settling in bed to fall asleep.

The rhyming prose makes the book easy to read aloud, with a lovely gentle rhythm perfect for bedtime.

For me, the illustrations are what makes this book stand out. They are beautiful. Each page has so many small details that you see more every time you look. The illustrations all have a magical feel about them with the small stars that surround the Yawnicorn really enhancing the atmosphere of the book.

I loved reading this to my children and they thoroughly enjoyed it too. We will definitely be looking out for this when it is released on 8th June.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bloomsbury Publishing for the ARC ebook to review.

What a beautiful book, I read to my children and they were entranced. Wonderfully written with gentle bedtime language. The illustrations are simply stunning with a calming palate but still colourful. Both children have asked me to buy this when available on the shops!

Thank you so much to Bloomsbury Publishing and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.

A rhyming picture book perfect for a bedtime story, a little girl cannot drift off to sleep, but a magical Yawnicorn comes and gives her many fun dreams until she drifts to sleep.

My goodness this made me sleepy in a perfect way, it’s so relaxing and magical. It does literally what it is supposed to do. It’s the perfect before bed picture book, it has a beautiful rhyming tone to the story and it is easy to follow.

It’s so descriptive and the beautiful vibrant illustrations go perfectly with it, taking you on an adventure of fun and magic, going to many different places, ideas of what exactly you can dream about all night. I really loved how it takes you to these places, filling up the mind with such wonder.

I really enjoyed how magical it all felt in this book, taking you to a sweet place all with the wonderful help of a Yawnicorn, which that name alone is super precious. I really recommend this as a bedtime story, and read this to them they will have their mind filled with so many magical places, dreaming that the Yawnicorn will show up take them to wondrous places, they will easily sleep after it as it’s so beautifully done.

The Yawnicon is an adorable bedtime book for young readers or to be read aloud at bedtime. Emily Hamilton has created a magical poetical read that should help any youngster under 4 doze off to sleep.The illustrations are charming and have a dreamlike quality. The prose is rhyming and through repetition will be perfect too read along with. This could be a firm bed time favourite for many children and with the love of unicorns so popular among young children this is the perfect book to be shared between young and old .

My 5 year old daughter is absolutely mad on Unicorns at the moment so I knew that this book would be one that she really enjoyed and she loved it even more than I had expected!

We read the book together last night and she loved every page. It was well written and had a lovely flow to the story, the writing style worked really well for a book to be read at bedtime, it was at the perfect pace and she loved that she could read it to me.

The illustrations are lovely and they really help bring the story to life – I know this was a massive hit with her as she has already asked if we can read the book again at bedtime tonight!

It is 5 stars from me for this one, very highly recommended and it is a lovely bedtime book!
