Once Upon a Unicorn's Horn, written by Beatrice Blue, reviewed by Judy Hauser

Summary: This is a book about imagination. When a girl named June explores the "magic" forest around her home for wands, etc., she comes across magic horses, who look suspiciously like rabbits, learning to fly. One little horse would not fly and looked very sad. June tried to get the little horse to fly and they had a lot of fun trying. June is a very resourceful and imaginative child. She used her most powerful magic wand to help the horse fly to no avail. June's parents could sense something was wrong so they talked to her and helped her with suggestions. The family in the story is a close-knit family and the parents are very loving and caring. June decides to give the sad horse an ice cream cone but trips and the cone lands on the sad horse's head. The horse loved the new horn. This book is not only about imagination but also about family and how magic horses became unicorns! 


Straight Talk for Librarians:
This is an excellent book for a discussion on imagination. June and her loving parents work together to solve the sad horse problem. June is a great character who is resourceful, caring and a problem solver.
