Pip Bird’s The Naughtiest Unicorn and the School Disco is a giggly friendship story for 6 year olds about a disco, a quest down a mine and a best friend who gets a bit too bossy.<\/p>\n
Mira goes to Unicorn School, where every pupil is matched with a Unicorn Best Friend Forever. Hers is Dave.<\/p>\n
He’s small and greedy, and he holds the school record for farting in class. Mira adores him.<\/p>\n
It’s the third book about the two of them, but the opening fills in everything a newcomer needs.<\/p>\n
Two big things are happening this time. Class Red have a quest, collecting the Warming Crystals that heat the school through winter. And in three days there’s a school DISCO.<\/p>\n
Mira’s friend Darcy can’t wait. She takes over the head teacher’s microphone and announces herself Chief Organiser of the Disco Committee (a job she’s just made up).<\/p>\n
She holds a vote on the theme, and somehow her own idea wins by LOADS. She writes the song. She invents a dance routine so tricky that two unicorns fall over.<\/p>\n
And Dave? He pulls down the gym ropes (Mira thinks he mistook the red one for a giant strawberry lace). Then he takes a big bite out of Darcy’s clipboard, party plans and all.<\/p>\n
Soon Mira and Darcy are snapping at each other. Raheem, who has a song about the ten Rules of Safety, would just like everyone to behave.<\/p>\n
Then Darcy goes missing in the middle of the quest. Their PE teacher has already said that any funny business means they can forget about the disco.<\/p>\n
It’s very silly and it moves fast. The children shout out daft ideas for the theme (sloths! uranium!) and there are song words to belt out.<\/p>\n
Dave is asleep, eating or farting most of the time, and there’s glittery unicorn poo as well. Your reader will probably be thrilled.<\/p>\n
Underneath it’s a story about a friend who gets carried away. Does your reader know someone who goes a bit power-mad when they’re in charge? Darcy isn’t bossy for the fun of it, and the book is kind about why.<\/p>\n
If Dave goes down well, winter arrives in The Naughtiest Unicorn at Christmas. There’s thick snow at Unicorn School, a class play to learn and a teacher trying to wrestle Dave into a rainbow scarf.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
