Brave Jack and the Unicorn

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Susan Tooke. Newfoundland folktales inspired this lengthy story of Jack, a lad thought a fool by his family for the kindness he shows to others. After setting out to find his missing brothers, he ends up rescuing a princess from the clutches of a magician. The paintings, set against Newfoundland's rugged landscape, mix the contemporary and the traditional in a rather odd fashion.
