Reviews

Robin illustrates in dramatic spreads that combine elements of fantasy with the aesthetics of a vintage picture encyclopedia. Seraphini's earnest tone will persuade nonbelievers, and maybe even move them to help dwindling unicorn populations (by picking up litter and growing native plants). --Publishers Weekly Wonderful detailed images of the different species of unicorns, the scientists, the landscapes, and other details described. --Youth Services Book Review
