What do our readers think of Ten Minutes to Bed: Little Unicorn? (Generated from the text of reviews of the book)

Children enjoy the bright illustrations, unicorns, rainbows and Twinkle’s funny, energetic adventure, with many finding it easy to join in with at bedtime. Some children find the repeated countdown or rhyming a little less appealing, but the magical pictures remain a big draw.

What does the Pageticker team say about Ten Minutes to Bed: Little Unicorn?

We think this is a sparkling bedtime romp with a lively heroine, a gentle countdown and plenty of magical creatures to spot along the way. Twinkle’s cheeky refusal to settle will feel deliciously familiar to small children, while the rhyming text and dreamy illustrations gradually steer the adventure towards sleep. Best suited to ages 3–6, especially unicorn fans who like their bedtime stories with a little mischief before the snuggling begins.
