(3) 4-6 Each of these twelve stories captures the essence of unicorns' appeal: in Coville's "The Guardian of Memory," unicorns have vanished from this world and taken joy with them; in Gregory Maguire's bleak "Beyond the Fringe," a tapestry of unicorns provides the memory of hope; "The Unicorns of Kabustan" by Alethea Eason tells how the flight of the unicorns brings the beginning of peace to a war-torn corner of the world. Fans of the mythological creatures will be satisfied.

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Alix Berenzy. More of a celebration than an exploration, this book conveys the mysteries of migration. The spare, poetic text and repeated titular phrase set a lyrical tone, complemented by the soft, luminous pastel illustrations. But the overall effect is vague, and notes about the animals at book's end are not enough to elevate this so-called "song" to more informative heights.
