Magical Illustrations

Linda Crockett's magical illustrations create a comforting environment in which to escape from the pressures of reality. Unicorn Races is an enchanting story about a girl named Abigail who is transformed into a princess. As if in a dream, she is transported to a land of cookies and ice cream sundaes in a beautiful forest. The strawberry icing on the cupcakes looks delicious and everyone is eager to start the races so they can attend the party. "In a flash, the six majestic unicorns quickly bolted from the clearing. Like a rainbow after a midsummer's shower, the colorful beasts stretched across the shadowy skyline. The princess watched in astonishment as they gracefully took flight." As the unicorns race through the sky and run through the ocean waves, they finally run past the finished line and the party can begin. This beautiful book features a padded cover, sturdy binding and page after page of lavender, rose and sapphire illustrations. The coloring used in the art creates a magical setting filled with sparkles like each page has been sprinkled with fairy dust. ~The Rebecca Review

Brilliant - Caldecott Material

The imagery is this beautiful story are pure magic. Ive never seen anything quite like them. This is an absolute "must-have" for any child -anywhere! With the occasional, perfectly placed rhyme the story moves at a perfect pace. Unicorn lovers everywhere will rejoice in this wonderful creation!!

A Rainbow of Unicorns

Children love reading about Unicorns just like I did when I was younger..and I still do. This book of colorful Unicorns that race through the night while princess Abagail and the elves and fairies cheer them on is exciting and fun. The dream like colors of the night sky and the luscious banquet make you want to take your time to see the detail on each page but you also want to move ahead to see who wins the race. The expression on the winning unicorn's face is perfect. I won't give away who the winner is but I'm sure children will be guessing and picking their own winner as the story progresses. Dream on little ones.

Loved it!!

Warning to parents - only buy this book if you resign yourself to reading it every night to your child. The illustrations belong in an art gallery and the story is peaceful and moving. There isnt a "princess" in the world who shouldnt have this in their collection.

Lovely Book

This is a beautiful book with spectacularly vivid illustrations. I think that it will certainly capture the imagination of every child (especially little girls) who reads it or has it read to them.
