About this deal

Tilly works at a Unicorn Rescue Centre, but she wants a unicorn of her own. She gets her wish when the spunky Splodge comes to the center, and Tilly vows to make him the “best unicorn ever.” No one said looking after a pet is easy and Splodge is mischievous, cheeky, full of energy, fun, and a zest for adventure. Unicorns are big this year, maybe they're big every year and it's just that this year I have a horse-mad-turned-unicorn-and-pegasus-mad daughter. Whatever the reason for the fascination with unicorns my daughter thought this book was the "Best story ever!" - so if you have a unicorn-obsessed child aged five then you should pop this book on your Christmas shopping list now! Tilly has to learn ways to train Splodge to be more obedient and listen or she is worried her parents will get rid of him.

Well it's a good job Splodge turns up. As Tilly falls in love with him straight away and a bond is formed. She loved this book from start to finish and wants a unicorn now. The illustrations had her completely engaged and they supported the story, helping her to understand the words. She felt frustrated for Tilly, the young girl in the story when she was frustrated at training the unicorn. It was nice to see the book gain her empathy for the character. The unicorn made her laugh with all its silly actions as well, bringing a well-rounded group of emotions through the book. Mike Hawkyard, Amuzo MD, will also be providing his award-winning insight into building games for learning in two free talks at 12.30pm on both days as part of the exhibition’s extensive seminar programme.

This is a perfect book for anyone. The unicorn is a boy and the main character is a girl, giving a nice gender balance. The main message is a great one and the book even has a nice guide at the end to spark conversation afterward. Another much-needed but sometimes overlooked unicorn skill is business competency. This concept is certainly not new. Thomas John Watson Jr., the CEO of IBM in the 50s, believed that “Good design is good business.” Of course, the idea here is not to fully take over the PM’s job or to blindly execute the visions instructed by your business counterparts. Instead, the value here is to truly understand business intentions and be able to create alignment between the business and users. Schwinn provide top quality unicorn bikes for children. The Schwinn company was established in 1895, by Ignaz Schwinn in Chicago, and is well known for creating iconic bikes. Schwinn as a company pride themselves of making it possible for riders of all ages to experience the thrill of riding a bicycle. Children and adults around the world trust the Schwinn name for quality and value. The joys of learning to ride for the first time, sharing an excursion with friends, proudly completing a new training regime or enjoying a local scenic route are all best enjoyed on a Schwinn. This story is really about the ups and downs of owning a pet, especially when it first arrives. Having recently adopted two kittens into our horse I could actually relate to a lot of this despite having owned animals before!

Its heart warming, fun, cheeky, and very endearing. I will definitely recommend reading it, it would make a wonderful present. As well as discovering how Unicorn excels at mapping solutions to customer challenges, using a mix of platform, off-the-shelf, custom content and games, visitors will get the chance to review and chat about Unicorn and Amuzo’s new ‘The Future of Game-based Learning’ White Paper too. If your little one loves horses, pets, or especially unicorns, this one will probably be a hit. For others, I’d still say it’s worth a read, especially for the illustrations. I have a major unicorn lover in my house, so I was very excited to review this book. I love the idea of Tilly trying to train the unicorn in the same way that we've been working on training our puppy. I know my daughter, and many other unicorn lovers, will adore this book with the cute illustrations and concept of a unicorn as a pet. I appreciate the idea that Tilly chose a unicorn that wasn't "perfect" and loved him anyway. I also enjoyed that Splodge improved his behavior and became a better pupil as he got more used to the family. Training a pet definitely is not easy, it takes time and dedication and this way effectively communicated in this book.Unicorn Training is about the responsibility of pet ownership. Really, the animal could be everything (in fact, if you switch the unicorn out for a dog, the story still works). Tilly does everything she can to try to turn Splodge into the perfect pet. But it takes perseverance and patience (and a lot of treats) to make this happen. We are very proud to be ranked the Number One LMS for the financial sector for the second year running. We have an exciting roadmap of developments for 2016 as we do our best to retain the coveted top FS spot for the third successive year.” SkillsServe hit the top spot for the first time in 2015 and Unicorn’s dedication to evolving the platform over the past 18 months has seen it consolidate its position.
