Description
Tilly Teasel loves working at the Unicorn Rescue Centre but what she really wants, more than anything else, is a unicorn of her very own.
When Splodge shows up at the centre, looking a bit scruffy and a little sad, Tilly decides he's perfect! When she brings him home, however, Mr and Mrs Teasel aren't so convinced especially when he eats Mr Teasel's slippers, whines all night and gets sparkly hoof prints all over the sofa! Will Tilly convince her parents that all Splodge needs is a little training?
A touching story about patience, perseverance and the responsibility of owning a pet.
Beautifully illustrated, QED's Storytime series introduces young children to the pleasures of reading and sharing stories. Featuring charming animal and human characters, the books explore important social and emotional themes like friendship, gratitude, perseverance and overcoming fears. A Next Steps page at the back provides guidance for parents and teachers.
