Our daughter wanted a "remote controlled unicorn" for her 3rd birthday and I'm happy to report that good old Sparkles has the most acceptable alternative was! (If anyone finds a remote-controlled unicorn, please let us know?!) This little unicorn responds to pets, puts a cupcake in front of its mouth and is ignored for a short time. Perfect for the little girl who wants every toy to be some kind of pet! I would highly recommend this toy - it really is worth what it does.
