About The Return Of Thelma The Unicorn
The world misses its favourite unicorn, but Thelma is reluctant to don her horn and sparkles again. However, with the support of her best friend Otis, she realises the importance of spreading love and joy-no matter what people think. Bestselling author Aaron Blabey's sweet and funny follow-up to Thelma the Unicorn will have young readers cheering for Thelma and Otis as they learn to love who they are...even if they don't have sparkles.

Reviews
"Loved that it was inclusive and allowed kids to be kids. My very busy 5 year old son was enthralled the whole time.”
"Best thing I’ve done together with my kids (and we go to all sorts). We’ll be talking about it for the rest of the year I’m sure."
"My two boys absolutely loved it and it’s different to any ‘performance’ or arts experience they’ve had previously. It was a wonderful story line, but the whole set up of the show’s experience was inviting so that they felt like part of the show."
“Engaging and entertaining–just the right amount of sitting and doing for the age group. LOVED the performance–it was outstanding!”
