A lovely book about forest conservation perfect for children ages 3-7. The author and illustrator, Lynne Cherry, is deservedly winner of numerous awards for beautiful books. Recommended. Product Description: Valerio the dragon and Allegra the unicorn have always lived happily amid the majestic trees of the Ardet Forest, and in harmony with the animals that call the forest home. But one day Valerio discovers King Orlando cutting down trees to build a shelter. Only the king's young daughter, Arianna, seems sympathetic to the animals who are losing their homes. But can she save them all before it is too late? Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The Dragon and The UnicornI bought this book for my 5 year old granddaughter. We both love it - it is a favorite. A wonderful book for anyone who loves the earth. Rating: - My 4+ year old son kept asking me to read it to him over and overMy 4 year old son really loved the story and it became his favorite book for about a whole month. He even wanted to sleep with the book which has not happened with other books. He also wanted it read to him every night for a week straight which was also very unsual. I really liked the story and I think it has a wonderful message that kids and parents caring for the Earth and trees would enjoy reading. Rating:  - Too preachyWell, I'm giving this book three stars because my daughter likes it. But not five stars, because I don't like to read it. There is too much preaching disguised as dialogue. I believe that a moral should evolve throughout the story in the forms of actions and consequences, not in a moralizing dialogue. Since I have to read it aloud, I figure I should get a vote too.I felt like I was reading propaganda--and I realize the book has a valid environmental theme, but I wish there had been ...

The characters (the King and Princess) have 'off-white' complexions--which make them very appealing for some under-represented students. The story is well written, though a bit predictable and is very meaningful in its strong environmental message. We used it in school as a model for writing and illustrating stories with a message. Rating:  - My 7 year old was boredAlthough the illustrations are lovely and we both love unicorns, the story was just not good. It was also too descriptive in places for the age range listed. The story is about mankind destroying the forests and a lot of dialogue between the unicorn and the little girl. It was really just plain boring.
