I liked this better than the first book. There is a bit of a mystery and the show horse (well, show unicorns) aspect was interesting. I liked that the feelings of the animals were taken into consideration, and that the "bad guy" had a good reason for doing what he/she did but was still held accountable for his/her actions. I felt the humor was a little less annoying (though, at times, I did feel like there was a bit too much poking fun at Regent Maximus' anxiety -- I know the overarching theme w...

I’m so into these Pip Bartlett books. It’s such a fun n series. This one is like the 4H fair for magical creatures with a mystery to be solved of course! We have a Regent Maximus in all his terrified grandeur entered in the Triple Trident Unicorn Competition and this time he’s showing all the baby unicorns his tips on everyday survival. That’s not all though. There is a unicorn tail thief on the loose so it’s up to Pip and Tomás to figure out who the culprit is before Regent Maximus has one more...

This was very good–not my favorite book ever, but some parts were so funny that I accidentally must give it a full five stars. So, yes, this book can consider itself appreciated.

Very cute. The beginning was quite slow but after that I found it very enjoyable to read.

Very cute!

I absolutely adore this series from Pearce and Stiefvater- they make a great team and the books are so cute and fun. They clearly have a good time coming up with the different magical creatures in this world they've created. Pip and Tomas have yet another mystery to solve this time around- trying to figure out who is cutting off unicorn tails from all the show unicorns. I still particularly enjoy whenever Regent Maximus is on the page; his scenes never fail to make me laugh. While I didn't get t...

There's a Show competition for Unicorns, and Pip and Tomas' friend, Regent Maximus, their cowardly hypochondriac Unicorn buddy is entered. Purchased by Mr. Henshaw as a Show Unicorn, his personality is so skittish and fearful he's never competed, until now, and he's competing against many other shallow, narcissistic and over-confident unicorns. If he fails to show well, he will be put up for sale! Pip and Tomas, knowing this, do their best to prepare him for the competition, because despite his

This is the second book in the amazing Pip Bartlett series. This time, Pip and her best friend, Tomas, find themselves at a magical creature show, which includes an unicorn exhibition. And things are personal, as one of the unicorns being shown is their beloved Regent Maximus, who is, of course, terrified of performing. I've been reading these stories to my daughters, eight-year-old twins, and they are some of our all-time favorites. They love spunky Pip, who can talk to magical creatures; Tomas...

Cute and a fast read! My favourite character is most definitely Regent Maximus! 🦄

In which we go to the COUNTY FAIR. Magical version. I totally loved all the magical creatures. Especially the police with the sea slug. And also the baby unicorns.

I love the cuteness of the stories and how quick they are to read :-)

Fun installment of this middle grade series. I like the characters here.

The second book in the Pip Bartlett's series and this one is, once again, about unicorns. But also about other creatures of course, it is just that the focus is unicorns and a certain thief who is stealing tails (oh noes!). Oh and Regent makes a comeback. Before I start with the good I want to say that I took 0.5 stars off the rating because of the cover. I loved the previous cover, and I was hoping that this would be a series with all the covers like this. So shiny! But alas, we got this cover

Absolutely adorable, and I love how original the magical creatures are!

I LOVE this series. As someone who works with animals, it's great to see a series that is teaching kids what we call "animal sense," things like when Pip checks that the startled unicorn she's with isn't going to rush the door when she opens it for someone else and paying attention to what works best for that specific species or individual and using that knowledge to set them up for success. Pip is a great role model for how to treat animals. The book is peppered with subtle good advice about ho...

This is the second book in the Pip Bartlett series. The first book being Pip Bartlett’s Guide to Magical Creatures. In this book, we are never told how Pip is able to talk to Magical Creatures or why there are Magical Creatures to begin with. Was this noted in the first book? Perhaps, but maybe we should not worry how or why and just enjoy the fact that unicorns and griffins DO exist, as does the Greater Rainbow Minx, and Gimmerbeasts. In case you do not know, Glimmer beasts have the ability to

Well, that was fun. Besides being a fairly adorable second installment, this book also has the distinction of having me laugh out loud. It really doesn't happen too often that I laugh aloud at a book, so I appreciated it. Granted, I could have done without someone of the bathroom humor, but all those jokes aside, it really was amusing.Even though the book centers around unicorns, reader's get the scoop on a bunch of newly imagined magical creatures. This a book that satirizes cliches while simul...
