"The Naughtiest Unicorn at Sports Day" by Pip Bird (Egmont)

The world's grumpiest and most unlikely mythical creature is back for a second chapter book outing, with tons of fun illustrations and loads of laughs.

"The Naughtiest Unicorn at Sports Day" by Pip Bird reintroduces Mira and her new UBFF (Unicorn Best Friend Forever), the surly but hilarious Dave, for a new set of challenges as school sports day is announced.

The winning team is up for fortune and glory, winning a shiny medal and the chance to embark on a magical rainbow quest. WOW!

Needless to say, Mira is fizzing with enthusiasm and energy for the upcoming day. Dave, however, is less than enthused.

Can Mira somehow convince her unicorn bestie to buck his ideas up and partake in a high jump or two?

Pip's series taps into the (seemingly endless) Unicorn craze that C and her classmates are bubbly about, with a pair of brilliantly funny characters, and of course a ton of relatable school-based fun with a twist.

Great for emergent solo readers, but also quite good for surly 11 year old non-unicorns too!

Sum this book up in a sentence: Another brilliant addition to the "Naughtiest Unicorn" range of stories, worth collecting them all for your own unicorn-obsessed kids!

"The Naughtiest Unicorn at Sports Day" by Pip Bird is published by Egmont (kindly supplied for review).
