Media Reviews

Imaginative fun throughout. --Booklist
The tone of the wry, bemused narrator is perfect...and the target audience will likely be eager for a repeat listen.

An Amazon Best Book of the MonthA 2018-2019 Florida SSYRA Jr. List Book
Praise for You Don't Want a Unicorn! Climo's rainbow-bright illustrations take Dyckman's silly premise to a whole new level of absurdity.... This is a crowd-pleaser, complete with cupcake poops and rainbow burps, and...a welcoming and unobtrusive gender-nonconforming vibe. --Horn Book
Climo creates gleeful unicorn havoc ... there's a lot of mischievous fun to be had. --Publishers Weekly
