Posted May 29, 2026 by Dacosta

When Tommy's parents and relatives refuse to buy him a unicycle he gets creative and learns an important life lesson along the way in this warm and witty children's book by Linda DeGree.

 
Linda DeGree, beloved author of the Sense of It
series, brings her warmth and storytelling gift to
younger readers with I REALLY WANT A UNICYCLE, a
charming, funny, and heartfelt children's book that
parents and kids will love reading together.

Tommy wants a unicycle more than anything in the
world. But no matter how hard he asks, his parents
and relatives simply will not buy him one. So Tommy
does what clever, determined children do, he finds
his own way to make it happen.

What follows is a delightful story about creativity,
persistence, and the kind of not-quite-thought-through
decisions that teach children the most important
lessons of all.

"Tommy is based on the real children I have known
and loved," says author Linda DeGree. "Kids are so
wonderfully resourceful, and so wonderfully human."

I REALLY WANT A UNICYCLE is perfect for parents,
grandparents, educators, and anyone who loves a
story with both laughter and a lesson tucked inside.
