I liked it because it had a unicorn in it and she was my favourite. The unicorns magic sent the rocking horse to different places. I think my friends at school would like it especially the unicorn.

I found the repetition a bit boring.

The unicorn is my favourite she has blue eyes. The unicorn helps the rocking horse by granting its wishes and then fixes everything by making her own wish. It’s a story poem. Yes yes I’d recommend this book.

I like the way Julia Donaldson uses rhyming words and rhythm in sentences but this was not her best story.

The unicorn was my favourite thing in the story .I like the first page. It was my favourite because it had toys on it.

I think other people should read it. Sugar lump is a rocking horse and the unicorn flashed the eyes of blue and changed it into different sorts of horses.

Charlotte enjoyed the story and was excited to find characters from Julia Donaldson's other books in some of the illustrations. A lovely book for pre-school children.

I really liked this book. My favourite bit was the ending when sugarlump turns into a fairground horse and the unicorn is really kind and uses her own wish to make her friend happy. I loved going on a fairground horse like sugarlump
