The illustrations were beautiful. I loved the idea of unicorns having ordinary lives. It was a fun take on the ever popular unicorn books. I will say some pages seemed like a story would develop but it wouldn’t and some pages were more like snap shots of their lives. I think that for the first book just seeing snapshots is a cute idea and for sequel books a story could be more developed about the siblings quarreling or the dads rough day at work and what type of mischief Puck gets himself into.
Overall a really cute book. My unicorn loving 4 year old gave it a big thumbs up! ( )

A pleasant, quick read for younger folks — lovely illustrations and a straightforward story of regular family who just happens to be unicorns. ( )

"Horners" is a cute and fun book about a family of ordinary unicorns. I really enjoyed that the unicorns aren't rainbows and over the top fantasy but act like regular "people". My favourite character though is Puck, the flying pig pet of the family. The pictures are pretty watercolour. I do wish there was more of a story.

The Horners by Kate Buss—a Library Thing early readers’ review:
This was a short book with cute paintings of unicorns, but it felt more like thumbing through a family photo album as opposed to reading a story—there were a few pages where I thought a story might develop, but the following pages just addressed other phases of the Horners’ lives. ( )

A really lovely picture book about a family of unicorns who could be anyone’s friends or neighbours. On the surface the story is short and simple and would appeal to younger children but there is plenty of humour in the story (and illustrations) to appeal to us (much) older children too. The hand painted watercolour illustrations are just gorgeous and really add to the enjoyment. Even better on a second or third reading. ( )
