As someone who enjoyed the picture books about Uni, I picked up A Valentine for Uni the Unicorn with every expectation of pleasure. The first thing I noticed however, was the publication date in 2019. Given that Rosenthal sadly died of cancer in 2017, and that the cover here states that the pictures are "based on art by Brigette Barrager," I concluded that neither original creator was involved with this title. Of course, this isn't all that unusual with series devoted to popular children's book characters, but it is something to note. Unfortunately, while this fact alone wouldn't preclude enjoyment, and while I found the artwork cute, the narrative in this one just felt a little flat to me, with a text that felt more organized around its rhyming structure than geared toward communicating any story or sense of magic. Tastes vary of course, and younger children who love Uni, or just unicorns in general, might still find it enjoyable, so it is to them that I would recommend it.… (altro)
