From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2-Nicolo is always daydreaming about unicorns, much to the annoyance of his family and teachers. When he asks what they think a unicorn might like or do, their answer is always the same: "Don't be silly. You know there's no such thing as a unicorn." Finally, when Nicolo asks his grandfather where he can find a unicorn, the man tells him that these creatures do exist and where to find them. He is to look in art, music, and books; in his imagination; and in his heart. Unfortunately, the grandfather does not show Nicolo how he might do this, or enable him in any way to discover it for himself. By delivering a lecture on the subject, the story emerges as didactic rather than a tribute to what the imagination can provide. Landmann's illustrations, with their pre-Raphaelite inspiration and her own contemporary flourishes, are remarkable. They glow with color, and the angles and perspectives employed draw the eye to every detail on the spreads. However, it is puzzling as to why two pages are devoted to each of Nicolo's rebuffs, but grandfather's advice, with its myriad components, also gets only two pages.
