Title The Unicorn and the Moon Series --- Author Tomie dePaola Illustrator Tomie dePaola Publisher Silver Press - 1995 First Printing Ginn and Company - 1973 Category Children Warnings --- Main Characters Unicorn, Moon, Griffin Main Elements Unicorns, griffins, wizards

When the moon gets stuck between two hills, the unicorn tries to free it with help from a griffin and an alchemist

You know I usually complain about overly simplified illustrations, but these are different, stylized art is a whole other thing and can be strangely beautiful, especially as this tale takes place in the dark so the unicorn has this ghostly glow. The plot was a sillier than I expected given the artwork, with two hills capturing the moon and the unicorn trying to tickle the moon free. But all in all, it was lovely and with just that touch of magic a unicorn book should have.
