Book Overview

According to legend, the unicorn was a solitary creature that preferred to live in deep forests or on quiet mountains. A gentle animal that refused to hurt another living thing, it was considered a noble, holy beast, endowed with magical powers.
This mythical, horse-like creature with a single horn in the middle of its forehead is featured in this beautifully illustrated coloring book. Thirty lovely illustrations show this fabulous animal carrying a young knight into battle, resting under a night sky in a field of tall grass, with the head of a lion and a scaled body in a Japanese rendering, rearing high on its hind legs before a medieval castle, posing with a beautiful maiden, as sea serpents with fins, and much more.
Descriptive captions accompany these charming, ready-to-color illustrations, sure to delight colorists and anyone fascinated by the strange and enduring myth of the unicorn.

Nice pictures, interesting narrative

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago

This coloring book contains pictures of some very unusual unicorns along with text describing each one. The pictures are fairly detailed. My nine-year-old loved this book both for the variety of unicorns represented and for the information about each one. Gel pens are particularly useful in coloring the small spaces in several of the pictures. The book plus a set of the pens would make a nice gift. I would not recommend this book for the under six set due to the high level of detail in some of the pictures. However, this is the very reason older kids will love it.

Now this is neat!

A picture to color on each of its 32 pages. Each image has a short accompanying explaination of what legend or what type of unicorn is being discussed but that text does not overpower the drawings. Shaffer has done a good job of showing a wide variety of unicorns but I wish she'd made a comment on where she got her information.

So Sweet!

This was a very sweet book with unicorn info, and cute coloring pictures. My mother owns a preschool called Kinderworks and all the kids there wanted to color it too!
