AlbakiReads Editorial

A goblin’s view of the neighborhood changes

A practical goblin measures magic by what it can accomplish, so the arrival of unicorns—with their frolicking, tea parties, and glitter—seems like a poor use of it. Alex Willan sets up the clash through two very different ideas of what makes a creature useful. As the goblin gets to know the new neighbors, the picture book turns that comic disagreement into a celebration of differences. Its fantasy setup gives young readers a playful way to consider how first impressions can leave out what others have to offer.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy humorous picture books
  • Young readers who like stories featuring goblins, unicorns, and magic
  • Families looking for a story about appreciating differences

Book overview

Perfect for fans of Dragons Love Tacos and Unicorn Thinks He's Pretty Great, this wildly funny and imaginative picture book celebrates the value of differences as a grumpy goblin gets to know his new unicorn neighbors.

It's an undeniable fact that unicorns are the worst!

Magic is serious business, but all unicorns do is frolic around, have tea parties, and leave glitter all over the place! They're nothing like goblins--practical and hard-working, who can put magic to good use! Unicorns aren't helpful at all.
