Summary: The book is 'The Dragon and the Unicorn' written and illustrated by Lynne Cherry. 'tis a children's book and the story focuses a lot on the beauty of the land until the humans with their king start cutting down the trees and destroying the landscape. The king's daughter tries to save the birds' nests by placing them in trees deeper in the forest. The story goes with the dragon saving the unicorn from the king's knights and the creatures in the forest working together. They eventually lure the king's daughter into the forest, where they have gone into hiding, for it to work its magic on her and hopefully help them. In the forest she learns many things from Valerio, the dragon, and Allegra, the unicorn. Naturally, her father misses her and sends his knights to search for her. Eventually he is the one who enters the forest and, although fearful, continues his search until she comes to him. From there she introduces him to the forest and her newfound friends. His decree was the happy ending for the story. It is a wonderful introductory story for young children on ecology and world preservation.
