A magical unicorn book for anyone head-over-hooves for unicorns, unicorn horses, or little ponies!

"For all those little lords and ladies who adore unicorns, this book is the bedtime story for them! The illustrations are top-notch and beautifully colored. The prose is perfect. Highly recommended." — The Children's Book Review

As night falls in the enchanted forest, the unicorns and their friends gather to get ready for bed. Say goodnight to all the types of unicorns — the pearly-whites, the foals, the oldens, the fluffies, the jet-blacks, the cuties, and even a unicorn baby — as well as the wonderful beings who attend them, from rainbows and fairies to baby dragons and, of course, the full moon.

Readers who've always wondered about unicorn habits, unicorn food, what a group of unicorns is called, and other unicorn facts will also be captivated by the fun unicorn facts that follow the story.

It's a magical, fantasy bedtime story for unicorn lovers young and young-at-heart! Grown-up fans of My Little Pony, The Last Unicorn, and Lisa Frank will treasure this book just as much as the new generation of unicornophiles!

    Searching for "unicorn books" for my 4 year old and came across this amalgamation of two of her favorite things. It is so so good. I was wary of such a pricey book for a little kid, but it was worth it. We really enjoy reading this book. So many unicorns in the illustrations to pick out and talk about, with so many fun features! Great little parody for my to enjoy, I'm sure she doesn't get it. The facts about unicorns after the story are really fun as well. Definitely blows the other unicorn books I ordered out of the water.

    I virtually never write reviews, but had to for this one. My entire family adores this book! I’ll echo another reviewer here and say the story and illustrations are so well thought out that I’m tempted to buy a second copy so one can stay on my bookshelf and the kids can enjoy theirs. Love everything about it, it’s perfect for any age :)

    What can I say? I'm a librarian and first found this at the library. Checked it out and took it home to my 2 boys to read, and *I* was so enchanted with the illustrations and calm narrative that I had to buy a copy for myself. This is going on my personal book shelf even though I will still read it with my kids. I just don't want them to destroy it.

    Pearl-clutchers out there should be aware there's the word "pattootie" use to refer to hindquarters and a mom and dad unicorn who are enamored with one another. If those offend you this book is not for you.

    The original goodnight moon is a bit out there for me, and this is even more strange. Beautiful illustrations, but don't think my 2.5 year old understands about the 'fairies sitting on cherries' (for no apparent reason ) and 'goodnight cutie with tatooed patootie'. It's just weird overall, but hey, she's obsessed with unicorns and ponies and it seems to satisfy her enough for our night-time routine.
