Customer Reviews

My favorite book as a child

This was my favorite book as a child, my father would read it to me every night. The illustrations are amazing, realistic due to Dr. Cooper's understanding of anatomy, and fanciful at the same time. I didn't want to be just any old princes when I was growing up . . . I wanted to be Princess Alicia from this book! A wonderful story for any little girl

"One Unicorn": Beautiful Book

This larger-size hardcover contains lots of brilliant, detailed illustrations of princesses & unicorns (in colored pencil, I think). The language is simple and delicate, telling of the inevitable experience of "growing up"; the waning of interest in what were once precious childhood things. The ending was bittersweet. Overall, it's a good book for both kids and grown-ups, and a very nice piece to have in a collection.

Beauty Embodied

This books was one of my favourite when I was a small child. I recently found my childhood copy again, and was nearly brought to tears by the beauty that still spills from its pages. The illustrations are colourful and absolutely gorgeous, and the story, though simple, is one that can infuse a person's entire life, from childhood to death.

"One Unicorn" by Gale Cooper

The reason I rate this book 5 stars is because it's a very good story with an appreciated moral and the illustrations are the most beautiful I have ever seen. For instance, even the cover page has a beautiful baby unicorn with blue eyes and a gold alicorn and hooves.
