The Unicorn in the Barn

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Rebecca Green. Fifth grader Eric discovers and helps a beautiful white unicorn being cared for by his veterinarian neighbor and her daughter in the barn that used to belong to his ailing grandmother. A touching portrayal of family love and death is enhanced by an underlying magical component, and Ogburn offers an emotional and well-developed story for animal lovers. Black-and-white drawings emphasize the realistic setting.
