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

ReadItDaddy's Chapter Book of the Week - Week Ending 24th May 2019: "The Naughtiest Unicorn" by Pip Bird and David O'Connell (Egmont)
Meet possibly the naughtiest mythical creature you'll ever go to school with in "The Naughtiest Unicorn" by Pip Bird and David O'Connell.
Mira has just started Unicorn School and she just can't WAIT for her first day. Her big sister already goes to the same school and won't shut up about how fantastic it is.
But when Mira arrives, all the Unicorns have left - except one. Dave, and Dave is trouble with a capital 'T'.
For starters Dave is terribly grumpy and not at all sparkly or shiny.
Dave isn't interested in galloping along rainbows and covering the land in magic. Dave is concerned only with one thing - his next snack or meal!
Mira tries her best to win this grumpy Unicorn round, but it's going to take something special to get Dave to forget about his tummy for five minutes. Time for an epic quest!!
Pip and David have come up with a superb chapter book full of stories that Unicorn fans are going to absolutely love, and Dave (the Unicorn, not the illustrator) is just such a hilarious character, so different to the usual sparkly Unicorns that most folk my age probably run screaming away from.

Look our for more in the "Naughtiest Unicorn" series soon from Pip and David.
Sum this book up in a sentence: A determined little girl, a hilariously grumpy Unicorn, and a brilliant story destined to tickle the fancy of anyone who loves their mythical creatures a little bit different from the norm.
