Sweet book about “worry gremlins” that is fun and interactive.
August 26, 2022
Very cute and interactive book! My kids loved it!
June 15, 2022
My fifth There’s …. in your book and I loved it once more~ This time a cute unicorn is hiding in my book!
After the wonderfulness that was Alien, Elf, Dragon, and Monster, I just had to get this one when I saw it was coming out. All these books are just adorable, you can find the reviews on both this blog as well on my Dutch blog as I wrote two of them in English and one in Dutch! And I hope to read Superhero, Witch, and Wolf as well. crosses fingers she is able to do so soon
In this adorable, full of glitter and fairy dust book, we meet Unicorn. But unlike what you may think.. Unicorn is not happy. He is not into tickles or glitter. gasp I know right! I just wanted to step in the book and give this poor Unicorn a big hug. Oh and kick some gremlin’s butt because they are one of the reasons that this poor unicorn is feeling sad and worried. Thankfully, the book is fully interactive so you can help out Unicorn. By shaking, by wiggling your fingers, and more! It was so much fun and I am kind of glad that no one was in the room with me because I just never can resist participate in books like this. I was hoping that Unicorn would feel better and I looked forward to each page. What would be next? What would we do? I am really happy with how the story went and by the end I was just smiling ear to ear, and my cute-o-meter was overflowing.
I loved the cameo of the Monster! He is here and I love that he is best friends with Unicorn, that is just so adorable! And then there are more cameos near the end, but you will have to read this book to see that! Teehee~
The art was once again lovely. Greg Abbott has a really sweet and adorable style that fits with the series perfectly.
So yeah, I would HIGHLY recommend this book to all and I hope that Tom Fletcher makes more There’s… in Your Book books, because I definitely could use more of these cute and interactive books in my life!

My kids like this interactive book series, but honestly, it's starting to bug me. There's a lot of assumptions about behavior and personality. The narrator says that unicorns are full of sparkles and singing, and then, why isn't Unicorn singing? There must be something wrong! Like the unicorn can't just not be singing. By the end of the book there's some empathy, but having kids interact with the pushy bits at the beginning bothers me.

Perfect way to practice big feelings and consent with littles
October 8, 2023
British author/illustrator team Tom Fletcher and Greg Abbott, who have collaborated on six previous interactive picture books featuring magical creatures (seven, if you count the 2021 World Book Day miniature title,
There's a Wolf in Your Book
), return in this entertaining addition to the There's a ... in Your Book series. As the narrator introduces a sad-looking unicorn, the reader is led on a journey of discovery as to the causes of this magical equine's mood—worry gremlins, as it happens—and is given a series of instructions, from shaking the book to whispering in the unicorn's ear—that might help lift his mood. In the end, the solution is provided by one of Unicorn's friends, himself the star of one of the other books in the series...
The formula for the books in this series—a simple text offering suggestions for actions that readers and listeners can take to participate in the story, paired with bright, colorful artwork—is followed faithfully in There's a Unicorn in Your Book, and it's a formula that works. As mentioned in my review of the previous entry in the series, There's a Witch in Your Book , despite the continued use of the formula, the book doesn't feel repetitious or reductive, but rather, engaging and fun. Like all of its predecessors, this would make an excellent story hour selection, one that will keep younger children entertained and involved. It would also work at bedtime, with one-on-one reading between parent (or caregiver) and child. The appearance at the end of the book of the stars of the six other books in the series is a nice tie-in and reward, for readers already familiar with their adventures, but it is not necessary to have read those other titles to enjoy the conclusion.

Although the appeal of these "There's a _____ in Your Book" titles is probably limited to young readers, the interactive quality of just about each page makes reading them an active process. This particular approach gets tiresome for older readers after awhile, but since this is the seventh title in this series, clearly, its intended audience can't get enough of them. In this book, readers open the pages to find a unicorn, to their delight. But this creature isn't all sparkly and sunshiny. Instead, the poor unicorn is plagued by worries and worry gremlins. It's up to readers to get rid of those gremlins by manipulating the book itself, swooshing, swishing, shaking, and singing all those creatures--and fears--away. The digital illustrations that accompany the text make it clear that the unicorn is miserable for much of the book, what with a forlorn look on its face and its slumped posture. The last page shows a very different, revived, and rejoicing unicorn. While the book has plenty of uses in lessons on dealing with fears and worries in healthy ways, it also contains a much-needed message about consent dealing with tickling and hugging and asking the recipient if it is okay to do either one.

For unicorn and glitter loving littles who who need help with big feelings, this is a sweet interactive title to share. A purple, pink and yellow unicorn feels sad and doesn’t feel like singing. Readers are invited to try different strategies to help him – conjuring magic dust to chase away the worry gremlin, tickling him under his chin, telling a joke – but nothing works. When Unicorn’s friend Monster shows up, however, and Unicorn tells Monster his worries, things turn the corner. Unicorn feels like singing!
The message is simple but effective. Sometimes sharing a worry can help us feel better. Littles will enjoy wiggling their fingers to conjure magic dust, shaking the book to banish the worry gremlins and whispering comforting words in Unicorn’s ear. At the end, all of the characters from the “Who’s in Your Book?” series, of which this title is the latest, are present for a unicorn party.

This series came out at the tail-end of my 35-year career as a children’s librarian. By the time I discovered them, we were into the pandemic and doing Facebook Live storytimes only—no in-person ones. We used the dragon and the monster ones in our Facebook Live storytimes, which meant no instant feedback from children, but we did get a lot of positive feedback in the threads under the posted videos. I retired before the in-person storytimes resumed, so I unfortunately never got to use any of these directly with children. For that I am sorry.
When they wrote so many of this type of book, I wondered how they could keep each one original and unique, but they obviously were successful. In this case, kids love unicorns, and the worry gremlins are a nice touch, as is the appearance of the characters from the other books.
As much as these would work in storytimes, I would think they’d work even better as a one-on-one book between caregivers/parents and children. Highly recommended!

I rather appreciated the "worry is a thing and here's one way to deal with it" aspect of the book, but I think my niece was disappointed that the unicorn didn't have more magical sparkly rainbow princess vibes. I also appreciated that the unicorn was a he, as they are so often shes when they show up individually, but I can't give you any input from the target audience, as my niece didn't comment one way or the other.
Had I known this book would be as interactive as it was ("Shake your book to get rid of the worry gremlins!"), I would have saved it for an in-person reading. As there are six books preceding this one in this series, I will probably save them for in-person readings, but by then, she might be too old for picture books. I know I was over them by the time I got to be her age....

I just knew I had to pick this up after reading 'There's a dragon in your book' from the series. We see a unicorn in a book, and but this isn't an ordinary unicorn, it's a unicorn that isn't singing?! No songs about sparkles and rainbows? No smiles? It's up to us, the readers, to help the unicorn shoo away the worry gremlin.
As the story progresses, look on and discover some fun and silly ways to help the unicorn cheer up.
This is a fun book that prompts interaction and play with each word and page flip. A great read a loud/storytime book for any unicorn lover.

Unicorns love to sing and spread joy but our friend unicorn is having a hard time in this story. Through interactive prompts, young readers help unicorn overcome what is bothering him! My kiddos at home and those that I get to read to all enjoy having the ability to help read the book! The illustrations are adorable and the content teaches about anxiety, consent, and the importance of friendships! - Brittany

There's a unicorn in this book! But worry gremlins are making the unicorn sad. There are many coping mechanisms available, and with patience and resilience, this unicorn can be feeling better in no time.
I love that simple concepts like consent and trust are cornerstones of this book. The interactive element was irresistible. I felt like I made a connection with the characters in this book and it truly made me feel better to read it.

I am a 24-year-old woman and I found this book to be incredibly endearing. Although I didn't do the interactive motions indicated by the book (waving the book, hugging it, shaking it, singing to it, etc) I can definitely imagine little kids having a blast with it! Not only was it adorable, but it also had a good message about talking out your worries with friends to get in a better mood. Very cute. :)

This interactive book stars a cute unicorn who has stopped singing. There are worry gremlins hanging around, and Unicorn needs help from the reader. By following the directions on each page, the reader can make the worry gremlins disappear, and bring Unicorn’s singing back again. If unicorns are a favorite thing in your house. This is a perfect book for family fun.

Love these "There's a ____ in your book" books. This one did not disappoint. Although I think I liked the Monster one more. This one featured an adorably sad unicorn and we had to find out why he was sad and try to cheer him up. The illustrations are wonderful, vibrant, colorful, and great. Read this for Story Time and

I am a big fan of Tom Fletcher's There's a " " in Your Book series. The latest is about a unicorn who is a bit worried. The book engages the reader to interact with the pages as the reader tries to cheer up the unicorn and get rid of the worry gremlins. It's a fun way to help a young reader relieve some of their own worries.

M spotted this at the library, and the unicorn on the cover was enough for us to borrow it. We then realized we owned the original ("There's a Monster in Your Book"). M spotted the covers to the other books in the series, so we then got as many of the others as we could through inter-library loan.
This is a decent interact-with-the-book series, so it's worth a read. M really enjoys these.

Unicorn storytime! This is going to be our wrap-up. We love a Tom Fletcher Who's In Your Book around here, and this one might be my favorite. It's actually the inspiration for the theme this week in general. I was going to go fantasy creatures, but I was able to find enough unicorn stuff (that wasn't too samey) that I decided to run with it.

Review:
Though I enjoyed There’s A Bear In Your Book more than this particular one, this was still enjoyable! I loved the artwork and the goal of helping the unicorn not be sad/worried anymore.
Summary:
A unicorn is in your book, but something is wrong. Unicorns love to sing, but this one appears to be plagued by a worry gremlin. Can you help the unicorn feel better?

Unicorns love to sing, but this unicorn isn't singing because a worry gremlin has crept in! Help unicorn up by using your finger wand and listening to its worries in this interactive book with an important social-emotional message about expressing your emotions

The unicorn in this book is very sad. The reader must move the book and talk to the unicorn to help the unicorn handle his worries! (Also, I really like that the unicorn is a boy.) Not as funny as others in this series but important yet subtle (not didactic) lessons about worries and consent.

My daughter got this gifted by one of her aunts for Christmas. We really enjoy reading this and got two more of these books: There's a Witch and There's a Monster in Your Book.
We are looking forward to reading more of this series.
