Unicorn Races

by Stephen J. Brooks
Illustrated by Linda Crockett



      The first thing to catch your eye is the lush padded cover on this beautifully bound and illustrated book.  It is really above the ordinary. You just know that it is going to be a great story.

Stephen Brooks loves to create fantasy lands for children where they feel safe, and their adventures are enchanting. In this story, Abigail closes her eyes, pretending to be asleep when her mother tucks her in at night.  But as soon as Mom leaves the room, Abigail is ready for adventure.  She puts on her beautiful princess clothes, and summons Lord William, the majestic unicorn of noble descent. They fly off into the night sky to go to the Unicorn Races.

Six majestic, colorful unicorns take part in a nightly race deep in a magic forest in this world of dreams and make-believe. Elves and fairies prepare feasts of sundaes, cakes and cookies, and the excitement begins.

Linda Crockett's glorious illustrations create a fantasy environment sprinkled with stardust for your children's joy. It's an imaginative story that children are sure to love, and parents and grandparents will treasure as a read aloud bedtime story to set the stage for little one's dreams of fairyland.  Count on reading this one over and over again...it will be a family favorite.
