Beautifully Illustrated

This is a magical book about the last unicorn in the world and the little boy who tries to find the unicorn a home. The circus and the zoo do not appeal to the unicorn, but the woods near the boy's grandfather's home are just perfect for her to live! A group of wild ponies appear to welcome the unicorn and beckon her to join them, where she will be able to live safely.As the boy takes one last look at the unicorn, he catches his breath at the sight that appears before him. The ending is magical and you will have to read the book to find out more!The illustrations are incredible, and their detail will appeal to any child, either young or old!

This is a magical book

I found this book on a clearance pile of books at our local book store. What a find! The illustrations are beautiful and the story is one of the simplest and most thought provoking I have ever found in a children's book. I can only hope the publisher will reissue this book. It deserves to be labeled a "Children's Classic"
