The Midnight Unicorn
Kindergarten-Grade 2—Millie loves unicorns: she makes clay figures of the creatures and frequently visits a statue of one in the park. On one such trip with her father and Casper, the family dog, the statue comes alive. With Casper at their side, Millie and her new friend fly through a rainstorm, to snow on a mountaintop, to a warm desert, and into ocean breakers. The trio land on a rainbow that leads them to a herd of unicorns on a beach, where they fall asleep. This oversize watercolor fantasy will charm young unicorn lovers. Spot lamination is used to make the artwork shine. Those who enjoyed B. G. Hennessy'sClaire and the Unicorn Happy Ever After(S & S, 2006) will want to see this one, too.—Marilyn Ackerman, Brooklyn Public Library, NYCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
