Sugarlump and the unicorn was a fantastic story, because Sugarlump
explored and he was a rock-a-bye horse and didn't like being it, so he tried something else until he found something that he really liked which was a fairground horse! Yes I would definitely recommend it.

A fun book with lots of colourful images for children to explore. Repeated rhymes allow children to join in with the story. A favourite of ours and one the children repeatedly select.
