I BELIEVE IN UNICORNS (BOOK & CD) Michael Morpurgo
Tomas usually plays alone in the woods, and is horrified when his mother insists that he go to the library. Soon, however, he is captivated by the tales told by a kindly librarian who sits on a mysterious carved unicorn to read, allowing the children to take turns too. The stories transform Tomas, and he gains the confidence to take his place. But the arrival of war threatens to destroy his newfound joy. What will it take to rescue his beloved library? Perhaps the magic of the unicorn will shine through once again. The story is also told in full by the author on a free CD. Age 7+ 80pp, 156mm x 185mm, illustrated, softback + CD, 2007
