A review by mldavisreads
The Unicorns Who Saved Christmas by Christian Cornia, Mary Winn Heider

funny lighthearted medium-paced

2.0

Children's picture book.  The North Pole Unicorn Troop is getting ready to celebrate Christmas when they get a loud knock on the door-- from Santa!  The reindeer have the chicken pox and Santa is trying to find a suitable crew to sub for them.  After the unicorns recover from the shock, they get so excited that they get the hiccups. Can a group of hiccupy unicorns save Christmas? The last two pages seem to imply yes, but no clear result is determined.  

I was not a fan of this book. It tries too hard to be cool and trendy, and just manages to come off as kind of goofy.  Yes, unicorns are in right now. Yes the saying "a little extra" is in right now. But neither will likely have much staying power.  And as mentioned earlier, there's not even a clear determination if they were able to perform the job!
