The Truth About Unicorns by James Cross Gilbin, is the third nonfiction text I have read about unicorns. I will rate it on a different scale than normal
- Quality of information 3/5
- Layout 5/5
- Quality of pictures 4.5/5
- Quality of writing 2/5
The thing is, this book didn't really make any claims at the age group it was trying to hook. The writing was not scholarly at all and implied that unicorns don't exist. As this is an ongoing debate, I think it irresponsible to not give both sides of the modern argument. Also if it's a book for kids, it should be more clear. Kids aren't the only people who care about unicorns, come on.
3/5
