Unicorn Magic: A Picnic in Spring

Springtime preparations for a picnic give this pop-up book its shape, with a group of unicorn friends getting everything ready spread by spread. The story stays gentle and small in scale, built around gathering, sharing and helping each other, which suits the age group it is written for. Paper constructions open as each page turns, adding depth to meadow and flower scenes that would otherwise sit flat. Sentences are short, so the book can be read straight through at bedtime or stretched out while a child studies the mechanics of each pop-up. Points readers mention most: • Pop-up scenes built around a spring picnic setting. • A quiet story about friendship and sharing rather than peril. • Pastel artwork that carries across the full spread. • Short text blocks that leave room for looking and talking. Written for children around three and up, for pop-up collectors and for adults choosing a gift book; published by Parragon Books and available from Boipoka.
