beautiful storyThursday, December 16, 2004
As an adult now in my 20's, I am not ashamed to say that unicorns still capture my imagination. This short sticker book is a wonderful way to get in touch with that imaginative side while looking at colorful illustrations and reading a beautiful story.

buy it for the stickersFriday, July 13, 2001
A unicorn, Starlight, lives on a remote island where the other animals are jealous of her and treat her badly. Starlight runs away and discovers there are other unicorns. They welcome her and for the first time she is really happy. So far, so good. But then: Starlight wishes for peace and harmony between the animals that treated her badly in the beginning. She sparkles with starlight and then races back to her old home. The animals gather around her ready to be mean with their jealous thoughts and hateful words, and she just looks at them. Suddenly, they all start smiling and acting friendly. Just a little bit of change to the ending and the story would have been satisfactory, but as it is there is no real resolution. The plot summary from the back of the book ("a young unicorn who learns how being different from others can actually lead to togetherness and a comforting sense of belonging after all") has nothing to do with the story.
The book does come with 24 beautiful stickers, though. 12 go in the book, and the rest are for you. I love stickers and unicorns, so the book gets three stars. ...

The Unicorn EmergingWednesday, December 27, 2000
This book is Great for kids who like unicorns. I am twenty and actually got the book. It tells you about unicorns and it comes with some fun stickers that all kids, even twenty year old ones like. the stickers get the kids into the story by letting them follow along and put the stickers in place in the story, and it icludes a duplicate set of stickers to play with as well! I liked this book because it was interactive and instructional!

appealing account of the myths and ledgends of the unicorn.Wednesday, October 01, 1997
Beautifully Illistrated, as well as factual account of the creatues we call unicorns. Depicting these animals in various shapes, and sizes, with a variety of horns, chin scrufs, and tails. Dates and artists given when known. An education for the eye as well as the mind of renisaunce european art and lifestyles.
