Sugarlump And The Unicorn Julia Donaldson

Sugarlump the rocking horse wishes to see life beyond his familiar home, and a unicorn grants him the chance to try different adventures. Yet each new experience leaves him wondering where happiness really lies. Julia Donaldson's rhyming story combines magical possibility with a warm look at belonging, appreciating what we have and the special friendship between children and their toys.
