Nosy Crow Picture Books: This is Not a Unicorn, and How to Count to 1

This Is Not A Unicorn by Barry Timms

This Is Not A Unicorn
by Barry Timms,Ged Adamson (Illustrator)

5 out of 5 stars

This might look like an ordinary unicorn, but it’s NOT! This unicorn can change their horn to be anything they want. Their horn might be a trumpet, an icecream spoon, a key, a kayak oar, a helicopter, or feather duster. They can use their horn to be a tennis racket, a frying pan, a skipping rope, or a lamp. Most of all, this NOT-a-Unicorn is the “perfect friend for you”!

This book is so imaginative and fun! The story is quite unique, and it was amazing to see how many different uses you can find for a magical horn.

I love the colorful illustrations! The neon colors really pop off the page like sparkles of magic. The designs for the characters are adorable.

You can scan the QR code on the back cover to listen to an audio recording of this book being read out loud with some music and fun sound effects. I listened to some of it and it was so cute!

How to Count to ONE by Caspar Salmon

How to Count to ONE: (And Don’t Even THINK About Bigger Numbers!)
by Caspar Salmon,Matt Hunt (Illustrations)

5 out of 5 stars

In this book, the reader is only allowed to count to one. There might be other items on the pages that you could count, but NO! You can only count the ONE elephant, or the one duck that is rollerblading, or the one earthworm that is in disguise. Don’t count the other items or animals! You can only count to one. Don’t try any bigger numbers! Even if there are lots of things to count on the page, don’t do it!

This book is hilarious and had me giggling! I love the reverse psychology that makes you want to count all the things. The narrator is so funny, trying to stop the reader from counting anything except just one.

The illustrations are really cute, and I loved finding all the myriad of items on some of the pages.
