Miss 7 loved the candy world and the rainbow sprinkle mane that the unicorn has at the end of the book.

Miss 7 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.

One little boy joins a unicorn to retrieve their horn on a quest through Sweetlandia...Just don't eat the candy and you will survive!

A cute graphic novel on self-control, friendship and candy, this is a good recommendation for fans of the My Little Pony or Equestrian Girls series.

Nice whimsical story for kids
A little boy goes with a unicorn to find the unicorn’s horn. There are tests and rules and rule number one of Sweetlandia is that candies should not be eaten, no matter how sweet it is. Cute adventure for kids. Nice narration.
