Book Synopsis

From the master of rhyme comes a sweet tale of an alpaca who turns into a unicorn!

Now here’s a tall tale (in fact it’s a cracker)
all about Frank, a curious alpaca.
Although Frank’s daily life appeared simple enough,
Frank was soooo nervous, it made things quite tough!

Frank lives in a petting zoo, full of wonderful cuddly animals and the children who visit them. But he feels like he doesn’t fit in and he hides so the children can’t laugh at him and his silly ears.

But one day he discovers a book about unicorns . . . and wakes up to a horn (ice-cream cone) on his head! His dream has come true – he is a fabulous unicorn and feels loved and confident in himself. And when he performs a daring rescue he comes to see that he is perfect just the way he is.

Adorable black and white illustrations on every page from debut illustrator India Joseph.

Our Review Panel says...

You should not judge a book by its cover, however in this case, the vibrant colours and hilarious picture of the alpaca with an ice cream on top of his head and his wings is a perfect picture to grab an early reader’s attention whilst also having a high quality text to enjoy.

When reading aloud, it gave lots of giggles and on every page were fun illustrations and pictures which helped with understanding the story and in bringing it to life for the reader. It was fun reading the book aloud as each line rhymes throughout and as soon as I finished this book, the request was to read it immediately again!

It has a strong message about accepting oneself and celebrating who you are. It would be an excellent addition to a KS1 reading corner and also to be enjoyed being read aloud from Early Years; it is the perfect book to read aloud or for readers who are beginning to read early chapter books.
