Where Have the Unicorns Gone?
AuthorJane Yolen
ISBN0689863594
Long ago unicorns lived in a haven of sun-dappled glades and flower-filled dells. But as civilization spread over the ages -- with its fierce knights, its chugging trains, its thick smogs -- unicorns had to find a new sanctuary. But where?
Jane Yolen finds a magical answer in the traditional unicorn...
Tangled: The Junior Novelization
AuthorIrene Trimble
ISBN0736426795
What young girl didn’t dream of having long hair? I know I certainly did. 70ft of hair might be pushing it though. The film/novelization shows Rapunzel brushing it, but never mentions having to wash it. Can you imagine how often it would clog the drain?

Tangled is one of my favourite Disney...
Kanga and Baby Roo Come to the Forest
AuthorA.A. Milne
ISBN0525447105
This book is intended for the young reader to read. And by young reader I mean those old enough to be interested in Winnie the Pooh. I have a hard time believing this.

Summer Vacation from the Black Lagoon
AuthorMike Thaler
ISBN0545072247
Personal Reaction: This book was really funny and kept the reader's attention with its humor. The pictures captivated my attention, although I wish some of them were a little less distracting. I also liked how the book is separated into a lot of short chapters, because the transitional reader may feel...
Deep in the Swamp

The Mountain That Loved a Bird
AuthorAlice McLerran
ISBN0887080006
While not specifically pagan, I found the book with its profound message and natural landscape to be a perfect addition to my son's spiritual library. On the surface, it is the story of a bird whose yearly visits cheer a lonely, lifeless rock of a mountain and the slow and subtle changes that allow that...
