Unicorn Wings (Step into Reading)

A very well-written story for such an early reading level.It teaches that there are different kinds of magicand the importance of thanks.Multi-fantasies, much beauty, earthly and otherworldly.

cute story and photos for 2yo who loves unicorns.

My kindergarten-aged granddaughter is a unicorn lover and a good reader. This book has words she can sound out phonetically and just enough challenging words to keep her motivated. Additionally, it had a complete plot unlike some unicorn books. The unicorn earns his wings at the end!

The book is exactly size and thickness I expected since my girl has others like it. The pages are beautiful with art and the story is cute. While the books were packaged weird and shoved with other big books, it caused a couple dents and such, but it did not damage them to an extent that they need replacing. The books are perfect. I said the same for the other book since they came together.

I bought this book as a Christmas gift for my young daughter. She loves unicorns and reading and it looked like a great book for us to read together.Its a nice, short book. Don't get me wrong, I love reading to my daughter, but some of these really long books just make me want to hide them! Its a Step 2 book, so perfect for beginning readers who are just starting to learn to read. This book is beautifully illustrated with colorful butterflies and swans and rainbows. The main story is about a unicorn who wishes that he had wings, and he visits different animals and wishes he had wings like they did.Spoilers! At the end, he meets an injured Pegasus, and uses his magical unicorn powers to heal his hurt wing. If you are expecting him to appreciate who he really is, you'd be wrong. He's STILL moping about the lack of wings. Then suddenly he magically has wings! I assume the Pegasus granted him wings and off he goes to say thank you. I liked to talk to my daughter about how we should be happy with the gifts that we have, that the Unicorn was already special just the way he was. She says why would you NOT want wings, because wings are AWESOME. I really had not thought about the story in that light, instead of being happy with what we have, maybe we should strive to be more? All in all, its a cute story with eye catching pictures that really holds her attention and we got to engage her in some thoughtful conversation about Magical Unicorns.

I have found that reading levels posted on some books are way off. Sometimes you'll get a Reading Level 1 that is far too advanced for a new reader; other times you'll get a Reading Level 2 that is much too easy. I found that this particular book's reading level (2) actually lined up with the book's text. My first grader was able to read most of the words on his own during his first read (the pictures helped) but the words weren't so easy that he breezed right through them. The book also has a story. I've found that some of these books bounce around as if the author is just trying to fill space.

A Fun reader for Elementary and Middle school!

My six year year old daughter loves this book. Never saw her so excited to read! She loves unicorns and the illustrations are beautiful. Definitely a good one to motivate early girl readers to read!
