Unicorns and space are two of my daughter's favourite things, so I knew this story would be a huge hit in our house!
Unicorn is off to space in search of the universe's most fabulous planet. He flies swiftly (and grumpily!) past planets of alien mermaids, narwhals and jellyfish, only landing when he finds one that is sparkly and purple. But Unicorn's fabulous discovery is already inhabited by other unicorns. Will he decide to live on a planet of others just like him? Or will he realise the most fabulous planet is with the friends he loves before they blast away forever?
Don't Call Me Grumpycorn is full of bright colours and tiny details. Unicorn's rocket is full of everything from doughnut machines and emergency biscuits. We spent ages pouring over it to find all of the hidden rainbow surprises, and it's only the first page!
We ordered this story on launch day after taking part in all of the brilliant activities McIntyre hosted on Twitter. From making unicorn headbands to designing our own planets, there was plenty to keep us busy (you can find all of the resources here). My daughter even won an illustration of herself and Grumpycorn, which we will treasure forever.
Don't Call me Grumpycorn is a brilliant picture book about friendship and adventure, which for unicorn-enthusiasts and space fans everywhere will love.
