When Sugarlump the rocking horse wishes to see the world, a magical unicorn with a silver horn and sparkling blue eyes turns him into a real horse. But after trotting around the farm, galloping around a racetrack and even dancing at the circus, Sugarlump learns to be careful what he wishes for and realises how much he misses the children he left behind. Luckily the unicorn has one more wish to grant . . .

Sugarlump and the Unicorn, the sixth title from this #1 bestselling, chart-busting team is bursting with Julia Donaldson’s rhythmic, lyrical verse and Lydia Monks’s bright, beautiful illustrations. There’s glitter on every page too!

There's glitter on every page.

It had a unicorn that granted wishes - the horse had loads of adventures but he also wanted to change into lots things.

My favourite character was Sugarlump because she had lots of wishes come true. I would recommend this book because it had a happy ending.

I wanted to read this book because I like the unicorn. My favourite bit of the book was when the unicorn made the rocking horse into a fairground horse so that children could ride on it all the time.

The horse was a tpy horse and then sugarlump then turned him into a real horse until he was too tired.

Another lovely Julia Donaldson book, this was about Sugarlump and how she wants to do more with her life. She joins the circus, goes to school, goes to the beach, joins the races and finally becomes a rocking horse for a family with young children. The mermaid is my favourite character and it's the same mermaid from What the Ladybird heard series.

This lovely fictional story about a rocking horse and the wishes he made, and shows how to make wishes carefully. And a kindly unicorn who grants the wishes and in the end helps him find his perfect wish . If you look carefully you might see some old friends from other stories. My favourite ladybird, also a lovely mermaid and her circus friends. If you enjoy Julia Donaldson stories then here is another you love and I recommend this fun story.
