Gr 1-4-In this pleasantly written story, a poor orphan is called before the King of Joppardy and commanded to go to the forest and sing to attract a unicorn. Zoe doesn't realize that the king and his advisor, the cunning Doctor Slythe, plan to kill the creature in order to make a goblet and eating utensils from its horn. When Zoe realizes that she has been tricked, she sets the animal free. The king then banishes her and demands that "no one in Joppardy shall speak to this little nobody!" Remembering the words to a song that she had heard in her dreams, she searches for and finds the home of the unicorns, where her friend greets her and invites "Nobody" to climb on his back and enter this secret valley. The fascination with unicorns, which is so prevalent in fantasy, is successfully captured through the illustrations and text, and Zoe's song/poem is rich in imagery. There is a misty quality to the soft-edged artwork. Muted colors and the almost fuzzy, cottony look of the unicorn help to create a mythical, mystical atmosphere. The varied perspectives from extreme close-ups to panoramic views effectively create varied moods. A fine introduction to fantasy.-Carol Schene, Taunton Public Schools, MA
