Twelve Unicorns in My Bedroom
One very stinky wake-up call.
Livvy’s morning starts with a ginormous fart and a bedroom full of unicorns: glittery, gorgeous, and hell-bent on chaos. While Mumma counts down from ten in the hallway, the unicorns try on her ribbons, raid her makeup, jump on her bed and toot up a sparkle-storm. It’s mayhem, it’s glitter everywhere, and the clock will not stop ticking.
Twelve Unicorns in My Bedroom
Twelve unicorns. Ten minutes. One very stinky wake-up call.
Livvy’s morning starts with a ginormous fart and a bedroom full of unicorns—glittery, gorgeous and determined to create chaos. While Mumma counts down from ten in the hallway, the unicorns try on Livvy’s ribbons, raid her makeup, jump on the bed and toot up a sparkle-storm. The mess keeps growing, the countdown keeps shrinking, and Livvy is running out of time.
Packed with galloping rhyme, counting fun and gloriously cheeky humour, 12 Unicorns in My Bedroom is a funny read-aloud picture book for children aged 3–7. Little readers will chant the countdown, choose their favourite unicorn and delight in the final-page toot with a twist.
Fair warning: this book will teach your children that glitter comes out of unicorn bottoms. There is no going back.

Dorothy Dowling is an Australian children’s author, midwife and nurse from the South West of Western Australia. Her stories began long before her books did. When her son Alex was three, they kept chooks, and Dorothy would invent tales for him out loud: silly ones, told again and again. He was her most exacting critic, and revisions were made on demand. Nearly twenty years on, and three years after Alex’s tragic death at seventeen, she published his favourite, Chookity Chook, to preserve and continue the goodness he gave so freely. Every book since carries his laughter, and every one is read-aloud tested: written to be just as good on the two-hundredth reading as the first. A career midwife who has built early-childhood health services across outback Australia, Dorothy writes for the wonder she has spent her life around. Her stories roam from a mischievous farmyard, the incredible Outback, to the sea garden beneath the famous Busselton Jetty, where Monty the pelican and his quietly hidden friend Gerald await sharp-eyed readers.
