Review by Kirkus Book Review

Nine simple steps to become your unicorn best. An essential question is posed: "Do you want to shine like a unicorn?" If not, no need to read any further. But in this story, the answer is an enthusiastic "Of course you do!" And extremely excited unicorn protagonist Glitter Poop can't wait to share the secret steps that will make this dream come true. First, one must choose a unicorn name by combining "a fun word and a silly adjective." (Sadly for readers, Glitter Poop is already taken.) Other steps follow: Don't be afraid to stand out, to be curious, or to make your own fun. Maybe you can wear a hot dog hat on your head or learn words like grandiloquent. Step No. 7 is important: "Love yourself." Even on those foolish "upside-down days where nothing looks right." But Step No. 9? That is the "MOST IMPORTANT UNICORNY step of all." It's top secret. Glitter Poop warns readers to turn the page only if they are truly ready. Embellished with rainbows, confetti, doughnuts, and joy, Frost's buoyant art rises to Glitter Poop's energy. The rainbow-maned blue equine even cries extravagantly. The gray-suited green Martians with toilet-paper--roll horns are an especially good touch. A rousing call to action at the end unifies all unicorn-storytime devotees. (This book was reviewed digitally.) Who better than a mythical being to share how to be exceptional?
