This book was adorable. As a family we have been talking about adding a kitty to our crew and this book was the perfect Segway for us to talk to your kids about the responsibilities of owning a pet. My daughter was delighted at the prospect of a sparkle spaniel. I loved the illustrations and how vibrant and colorful they were. And how easy the words were for my kids to understand.

This was such a cute book. My daughters loved the sparkle spaniel puppy. This is a cute story to help show kids that puppies are a lot of work.

As a certified barbie girl growing up, I know I would've loved this book as a kid! I mean a real live unicorn and a purple puppy? Like real life webkinz! Get this book for all your sparkletastic needs!

I really loved this book! It was adorable and sweet and cute. It was geared more towards little girls, but my son understood the message of animals are hard work. I really liked that there was a child comprehension in getting an animal and loving that animal. My children after reading this books started to execute more interest in our own family pets, and I love that this book pushed that initiative even in my 2 year old! I loved the colors and the artwork. It was a wonderful little book for little girls to read. And plus, who doesn't love a unicorn story? Glitter Glitter Sparkle Time!

Take a cute little girl, add a unicorn, a pinch of rainbow, lots of sparkles and a puppy. My daughter was literally screaming with joy when she had a look at the cover. We read this today for the first but I'm sure not the last time. The story is both sweet and educational, and the illustrations are very girlish.

Lucy and her unicorn, Twinkle, work together to care for their new Sparkle Spaniel puppy, teaching kids teamwork and responsibility. Through imaginative adventures, this heartwarming story encourages problem-solving and friendship. Perfect for building children's real-world skills through fun and engaging storytelling.

This one is beyond cute! It is sparkles and glitter and over the top, but the truth of how difficult it is to adjust to life with a new puppy is spot on - puppies get into lots of trouble! The story felt more fun rather than clearly messaging to kids, which is totally OK, but I don't think it would become a frequently requested book in our house.

Thank you to NetGalley for access to this fun family read!

Lucy and Her Unicorn Get a Sparkle Puppy was a big hit with my Kindergartner! As a parent I appreciated the lesson of how if you work hard you can be rewarded and also how sometimes the things that you want can take some work. Lucy learned that her new puppy was going to need some training and also a lot of patience and love but she was willing to put in the work.

This one was absolutely adorable. I loved that she worked hard to get a puppy and she took care of the puppy. This book is great for showing young kids responsibility and what it takes to take care of a pet

Cute and girly book. I could see my 8 year old daughter loving this one. What 8 year old doesn’t love unicorns and sparkles? I appreciate how the book shows the responsibility of getting a pet as well as the fun and happiness

100% such an adorable book and the illustrations just pop and reminded me so much of Lisa Frank.
This is a book I would definitely purchase for my girls or for a gift!

A great read of your planning to get a puppy. Even if you aren't it's a good book about responsibilities and taking care of an animal. For my Uber girly girl it was a big hit. My not as sparkly and ruffly girl was openly aghast in a hilarious way about the level of pink, purple, and glitter in this book. Tucking this book away for future when we might consider getting another dog, but unlikely to make it as a regular read in our home. Though we will be hunting for more stories with Lucy and her unicorn in the future for my older more glittery girl.

This is a lovely and beautifully illustrated children's book. Lucy and her unicorn Twinkle proof thry are responsible enough to finally get a puppy. A puppy gives you lots of love but also needs training and work. This book shows the joy and responsibility of having a pet. It is a great bedtime book for any animal loving child!

Thank you to MamaBear Books and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.

Lucy and Twinkle the unicorn want a puppy and as they’ve been good get to pick one out, there they find a rare sparkle spaniel but training Zoey the puppy isn’t as easy as they thought.

This was so fun to read, very imaginative, sparkly and glittery. It was a really cute read and magical, from twinkle with her unicorn horn, to the sparkle spaniel it was full of sparkling magic.

The story had its funny moments, that I loved got highlighted by the precious illustrations such as the taking off their shoes in the house scene. I loved when they first spotted the dog it was around all the ordinary dogs and she just stood out amongst them, It was adorable.

I liked that this book teaches the responsibility of having a pet and that they aren’t always easy to handle and care for, it’s also just a very fun and imagination story of a girl, her unicorn and their sparkling puppy. The writing fonts were also a cute addition to this story and made it even more fun to read.
