Addison is a series of books by Unicorndance.
The books were designed to appeal to everyone; they have a simple format so that even preschoolers can enjoy them, but they're designed to subvert and avert a lot of the cliches found in many children's books.
The stories focus on a little girl named Addison, who is three years old. Every book has its title written in multicoloured letters.
Addison provides examples of
- Big "YES!": Addison is seen saying, "YES!" when asked if she would like to keep two mice who are the babies of her Aunt Morgan's pet mouse.
- Cheerful Child: Addison is very positive and hardly ever in a bad mood.
- "Everybody Laughs" Ending: "Addison and the Fruit" ends with Addison's whole class, plus her teacher Ms. Willow, laughing when she adds "But it doesn't give you superpowers" to the assertion that fruit is good for you.

- Genki Girl: Addison is very positive and energetic.
