Review: Zoonicorn

About Zoonicorn:

Zoonicorn began with an idea to create a unique, plush toy for children that would be a combination of an exotic animal (zebra) and mythical creature (unicorn). We also wanted to create a children’s book to go with the character which would be educational for kids and entertaining for adults.

We discussed our initial idea with many people and received a lot of positive feedback. After several revisions, we achieved the exact look and feel of our vision for Zoonicorn. That’s when our four characters were born.

People immediately fell in love with the concept.

Our Thoughts:

These sweet little stuffed animals are the perfect blend between a loved zebra and a unicorn! There are several colors to choose from, and each one has their own name. My three year old squealed with excitement when I gave her her very own to love. 

Each one has a very special lesson. For example we received Aliel for review, and she is fun to be around. Although she likes to talk a lot, loves to get dirty, and loses things, she is energetic and loves an adventure. 

The book is a nice size, and not so lengthy a small child loses interest. Brightly colored pages, keep even the interest of an adult (I enjoyed reading this to my daughter). The story we received was geared toward a very active bison who even dreamed about jumping and running. When she slept the zoonicorns came to play with her. 

This has become a new favorite, and a story I'm sure we'll utilize several times when getting ready for bed time. This is a great gift idea, and one I'm sure will be a huge hit!

Lucy and the Magic Loom Kids Book Review

Rainbow Loom was named 2014 Toy of the Year from the American Toy Industry Association and has sold over 8 million units worldwide along with 40 million rubber band packets. LUCY and the MAGIC LOOM is the first novel to incorporate the Rainbow Loom as a part of the adventure story. 12-year-old Lucy happens upon a magic loom that leads her into an enchanted world filled with fantastic creatures, castles, and colorful landscapes.

Young readers will learn to be persistent and use their imagination to uncover creative solutions. This story rewards kindness and generosity and emphasizes the importance of friendship and helping others. It’s the perfect book for reluctant readers!

Our Thoughts

Every kid needs a great story book that's filled with fantasy up to the eyeballs and Lucy and the Magic Loom fits the bill!

The cover itself is a wonderful illustration that captivated the eyes of both my daughters and had them excited to dig in and read. This book is filled with great life lessons of kindness that all kids can relate too. The magical adventures had my kids loving this from the get go and now they both want a loom.

With this being 112 pages, this is a great bedtime story. My daughters will snuggle while my oldest reads a few pages each night, and of course they continue talking about whatever make-believe they create in their head afterwards. It jump starts the imagination and playfulness in all kids and is just inspiring all around.

Want a great way to surprise your kids after they fall in love with this book? Get the loom! Have them find and open it just like Lucy did, on her doorstep as a surprise!
