Beautiful Illustrations

This is a beautiful book, the illustrations are large and have a shiny "ink" on parts of them that really make it special. This book caught the eye of my 4 year old son at the library and he loves the imaginative story. (I know that usually it's the girls who are interested in unicorns, but he doesn't know that.) We've been reading it over and over, so now I'm buying the book. I'll buy another one the next time I need a present one of his friends, too.

Stunningly Illustrated Book

This book is gorgeous, and is a wonderful story for any horse/unicorn loving child. My daughter is 5, and has me read this book to her at least twice a week. She got this book last year for Christmas, and it is one of her favorites. The illustrations are outstanding. The story of a little girl and her Midnight Unicorn is timeless. Plus, the dog in it looks just like my old chocolate lab, so this story has a place in my heart for sure.

Delightful, charming, happy ending.... wholesome story.

The artwork is beautiful, the story is a delight. My daughter got this for her 4th birthday and this has become a staple bedtime story. It's long enough to have substance, short enough that it doesn't drag. I can't recommend it enough.

Great story with beautiful pictures

I bought this story for my daughter for her fifth birthday, and I am so glad I did. She loves it, and the story (about a little girl who visits a stone statue of a unicorn that comes to life and flies with the girl all over the world) is creative and enjoyable for both my daughter and me (that is, I don't mind reading it to her). But the best part is the pictures, which are glorious, very detailed, and actually are textured. My daughter loves feeling the raised "raindrops" and the unicorn's mane. I really recommend this to parents of children 4 - 6, especially of kids who are dreamers and love horses and unicorns.

Beautiful book

Our daughter loves this book and the illustrations are beautiful. A very large hard back book. It a terrific story.
