APPEALS TO: MANY

Long ago, a young girl named Beatrix was a maid in a castle.  Life was hard and she was lonely. Her only joy was when she swept the great hall and could gaze upon the unicorn on the large tapestry.  One night, she decided to go into the forest and look for the Unicorn to help her loneliness. Along the way, she discovered and helped scared, injured, and lonely animals and invited them along.  When she stops to rest, she sees the unicorn in a dream.  The unicorn helps her realize how to cure her loneliness.

Beatrix and the Unicorn is a sweet and interesting story about how to help with loneliness.  I enjoyed Judge's soft, watercolor, storybook illustrations.
