This was the best book yet. It was funny because the plants could talk and Sarah made too many unicorns and they pooped in the shop

Loved the book and how much chaos the birthday party was. I Love that unicorn poop makes plants grow. On page four
vision is spelled wrong, instead it is spelled ‘vison’. I would definitely recommend this story!

Fun story

14 Jul 2022

I think it was super good because it was about my favourite animal and I liked it because I thought it was funny when the unicorn pooped on the rose bush. It was a bit sad when Sarah was worried but I liked it in the end because that was when the unicorn pooped.

I loved the baby unicorns. Gran’s house was full of unicorn plants from the seeds. The unicorns were all different shapes and sizes. They tore everything up and made messes.
Then their poops made the best garden mud in the world.
