A beautiful easy-to-understand book that most of us can easily relate to whether we be the unicorn or the lamb. The story teaches the strengths of our differences in our friendships, the problems that envy can bring and the true sacrifice a friend does to make another happy. And yet it also teaches that nothing - looks, material items or fulfilled wishes can replace the warmth of having a true friend to be with.

The pictures are adorable and children will be all too happy to fall in love with this book. ( )

I remember this book clearly even though I was a child when I last read it. It's a sweet and meaningful story with a sort of magical quality to it -- which is true of all Cosgrove books, I would say. Add to that the gorgeous illustrations, and you have a perfect book for any youngster. ( )

I read these books as a child, and they have special nostalgic value for me. This one is about Morgan and Yew, who are best friends, even though Morgan is a unicorn and Yew is a sheep. The only problem: Yew doesn't feel special enough to be friends with a unicorn. He wants a horn of his own so badly that Morgan finally agrees to take him to the Morning Star to make his request. Yew gets the horn he was longing for, but soon learns that the consequences of his wish may be different than expected.

As with other stories in the Serendipity series, the text is simple and easy to understand, clearly a beginning reader story. Although the message is heavy handed, the moral is a good one, and the touch of fantastic brings appeal. Most girls love a unicorn. This story is like the imagination brought to life. The pictures are lush and full of sweet, cuddly animals. Not an original text, by any means, but a story that fulfills its purpose of being an easy reader, and has a good message, as well. ( )

This book is about overcoming envy, and understanding that friendship is more valuable than anything one might have or acquire. ( )
