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.

This was a cute story about, just like the title says, patience and the love for a pet. I would recommend this to any child who may wanna get a pet.

I DON'T KNOW WHO KEEPS LETTING ME REQUEST/READ UNICORN PICTURE BOOKS BUT I LOVE YOU! I am immediately adding Unicorn Training to my cart on whatever book site I find it on first. It would be the perfect book to give a child who has recently added a pet to the family or are considering getting one. But, also, it's perfect to read any time for any reason.

Splodge is a unicorn. He is dirty and a klutz. He is written off by others because of his appearance. Tilly helps out at the unicorn rescue sanctuary. Tilly decides she will adopt him and take care of him. It takes a while but with determination and patience she is able to help Splodge be the best unicorn he can.

Cute drawings. And a great story about patience and love. My son enjoyed this one.

I love stories about misfits. I will also point out that splodge toots glitter. So... that’s fantastic.

This was such an adorable book about the responsibilities of having a pet. My daughter loves unicorns, I mean, who doesn’t?? She loved the book, and so did I. The illustrations were just so bright and fun. Definitely 4.5 stars!

Unicorn Training is about a girl named Tilly that volunteers at the Unicorn Rescue Sanctuary. She really enjoys helping out, but Tilly really wants a unicorn of her own. One day, a scruffy little unicorn name Splodge arrives at the sanctuary. Despite his appearance and rough nature, Tilly feels that Splodge is the right unicorn for her and she convinces her father to take Splodge home. At home, Tilly is convinced that she can train Splodge to be the best unicorn ever, but she quickly realizes that training a unicorn is harder than she expected. Tilly decides to teach Splodge just one thing...his name. He begins catching on and soon Tilly's parents are teaching Splodge new things too. Tilly, her parents, and Splodge all eventually have that "fizzy fuzzy" feeling that comes with being loved.

I have a major unicorn lover in my house, so I was very excited to review this book. I love the idea of Tilly trying to train the unicorn in the same way that we've been working on training our puppy. I know my daughter, and many other unicorn lovers, will adore this book with the cute illustrations and concept of a unicorn as a pet. I appreciate the idea that Tilly chose a unicorn that wasn't "perfect" and loved him anyway. I also enjoyed that Splodge improved his behavior and became a better pupil as he got more used to the family. Training a pet definitely is not easy, it takes time and dedication and this way effectively communicated in this book.

I received a free copy of this title from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

A young girl try to train a unicorn. Cute book that can be use as an allegory to explore the training of a dog or something with children. Good but nothing outstanding!
