Atlas isn't a fairy-princess-pink-and-purple-unicorn. He doesn't have a swirly-curly mane and tail, and he doesn't fly. Atlas is a happy, curious, busy farm horse in disguise. And now that we know him, we know unicorns can be found everywhere, even on the farm down the mountain.Atlas was a sad, skinny rescue horse when he came to live with author Theresa LaBrecque on her Fairy Farm in Northwood, New Hampshire. She tells his story with the love she has for him, and we see him overcoming his rough beginning and growing healthy and strong on every page. Atlas is involved in nearly every activity on the farm, from helping the local carpenter to tending the herd of lively goats to sharing down-time with the author and her dog-indoors.The soft watercolors by illustrator Elizabeth Moisan are well drawn and not cartoony. They capture Atlas's personality and activities, and faithfully compliment the text and tone of the story.Atlas: Northwood's Unicorn is written for 6-10 year-olds, although younger children will like to look at the pictures and hear the story read aloud. Horse and unicorn fans alike will enjoy the gentle story of Atlas and the Fairy Farm.
