My favorite part:
"Tell me, my kind friend, who are you?"
Zoe said, "Me, I'm nobody."
"Climb on my back, kind Nobody," said the unicorn with his eyes. "For Nobody rides the unicorn."
Love it.

Poppy and I went on a "Unicorn Scavenger Hunt" of the house. We did not count clothing, books, or pictures she drew, but we came up with quite a bit of treasure:
Here is Poppy holding 6 of her stuffed unicorns. Notice, that during the scavenger hunt, she chose to wear her unicorn pajamas... The ones she always wears.
Poppy holding a unicorn story that Eleanor wrote for her. (It features a girl named Poppy.) Interestingly, this book, "Nobody Rides the Unicorn" features a girl named Zoe. In the back of the book, the dedication says, "With love to Natasha, Charlotte, Caitlin, Zoe, Arthur, and Lola - my grandchildren. A.M."
I think Eleanor had a similar idea.
Poppy holding the unicorn mug, and stuffed unicorn her Uncle James and Aunt Sheena got her for Christmas.
She found the unicorn wrapping paper.
Here she's got on her unicorn headband (which is apparently broken...) She's holding a unicorn card, which she got a set of, and you can see the unicorn wall hanging in the back.
Here she's holding a unicorn painting by Tianey Tiemec, which we got from our neighbor.
And her unicorn nightlight is on every night. An easy one to find in the scavenger hunt.
Which is to say, her obsession continues. It makes these books easier to pick out, and it makes these reviews more fun to write. (By the way, this is another one she found with the kind help of the librarians at the Goshen Public Library.)
Eleanor was with us when I read it as well, so she's joining in on the review.
Poppy: Dad, I want to say what the pictures are.
Dad: Well, you can. But I don't know if I'm going to put that in the review. You look through the book again and pick your very favorite picture and you can tell about that one.
Poppy: Okay... hmmmmm... hmmmm...... Okay.... *finds one* THIS picture.
Dad: Okay, tell me about it.
Poppy: Um. So, my favorite picture is... this is what it's about. The picture is a bunch of unicorns in a field, and lets count how many unicorns. 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8... There's 8 unicorns. Some are babies, and some are little kids.
Dad: What do the unicorns look like?
Poppy: They look like... they have ummm... horns. Not horns like, TWO horns. They only have one, and it's magical. And they have manes that are white, and it looks so cute. And their hair is white. And their tail is white. And every part of them is white except for the eyes and the nose and the mouth. And the grass is covering up some of the parts of them, like their feet. And there is some bushes and trees and mountains in the picture. And one of the mountains, the unicorn is on. OOHHHHHHHHH!!!! That's another unicorn!!!! NINE!!!!!! There are NINE unicorns!!!!
Dad: Sweet! Is there anything else in the picture?
Poppy: Yeah. There's a little girl, and the unicorn what was with the little kid before, she... I mean, the unicorn went to it (her) and there was a giraffe, too.
Eleanor: Those unicorns sound like Sally. (One of Poppy's many unicorns.)
Poppy: You probably don't know who Sally is. She's my stuffed animal Sally, who's a unicorn. These unicorns are like Sally, sort of... They just have different colored horns than Sally.
Eleanor: What color is Sally's horn?
Poppy: It's golden. In the picture, only two of them are golden. The rest of them are white.
Dad: So, what did you think about the story?
Eleanor: Good. My favorite part was when the unicorn thought that girl's name was,
Poppy: My favorite part was the one that I was telling about. That one picture.
Dad: Why was that your favorite, Poppy?
Poppy: Because there was so many unicorns, and unicorns are my favorite amnimal. I like unicorns because they are magic.
Eleanor: Oh, I never knew that about you, Poppy. I never knew that you liked them because they were magic.
Dad: I like the king. I like that the king was afraid of being poisoned. Did you know that there were kings like that? That there were kings that had other people try their food, so that if it was poisoned, their food-tasters would die, and not them?
Eleanor: Yeah. I would hate to be one of THOSE people.
Dad: How did you know that Eleanor?
Eleanor: I knew that, because they mentioned it in the Bible.
Dad: Where at?
Eleanor: In the story of Jeremiah, or Nehemiah. There was the cup-bearer who tasted the king's drinks.
Dad: (Thinking of Joseph, looks it up...) Ah. You're right. It's Nehemiah. You said you wouldn't like that job Eleanor, but at least you'd get to eat the best food... or at least, you'd get a taste of it.
El: That's true... and it probably wouldn't be poisoned, but I probably wouldn't like it that much...
Dad: It's not worth the risk?
El: I wouldn't mind doing it at our house, where I know mom's not poisoning the food... It's like... you're not allowed to try food from a stranger, right? And in this job, I'd be trying food from a stranger all the time...
Poppy: Can we do stars?
Dad: Yeah. How many stars, Poppy?
Poppy: ONE HUNDRED!!!
Eleanor: That's how many you always say.
Poppy: Nah-uh. I usually say 5.
Eleanor: Five stars can equal 100.
Dad: So, Poppy... five stars?
Poppy: No, one hundred.
Dad: It only goes to five stars...
Poppy: Okay. Four then.
Eleanor: You sure you don't want 5?
Poppy: No. Four.
Dad: Okay. Four it is.

Lovely story about being the lone voice and standing up for others even when society makes you feel insignificant. Every voice counts.
January 26, 2019
A beautifully illustrated tale of an undervalued young girl who is used to capture a unicorn. When she learns about the plans to kill the unicorn the girl frees him and is banished for her actions. She seeks out where the unicorn lives, and is accepted in his hidden valley.
June 18, 2017
This was a very simple story with stereo-typical roles. Art was alright but not impressive. I did enjoy it and is a fine story for young children but it held nothing unique nor did it jump out as special in any way.
August 14, 2019
In this fairy tale-like story, a young girl is tricked into betraying a unicorn. When she realizes she has unwittingly taken part in the magical creature's capture, she frees the unicorn--and the two realize they can help each other.

I enjoyed this story very much! is so lovely!

I am normally a fan of unicorn books and so I love when I come across them, especially to see how much they stick with unicorn lore or whether they change it up. As a result this one seemed pretty interesting since the title seems to contradict the front cover illustration.
Within the book you will find a story that is based upon the unicorn hunts of Medieval folklore so the lore of the alicorn, the being captured only by a "pure" maid and the unicorn hunt as well as locking the unicorn up in the garden. And yet the story is also quite modern as well for in one illustration if you look closely at the background you will see a car driving the road and what looks like a contrail of a plane in the sky even though they hunt the poor beast with spears and hounds.
The telling itself was a bit on the dull side even for the parts that should have been interesting as if Ben Stern was narrating this tale. As such I cannot say this was the most interesting unicorn hunt story I have ever read while the whole idea of giving it to young readers is a bit startling since of the violence entailed. And the characters rather quite blandly stereotypical.
But the most striking/unstriking part of the book were the illustrations. They were dark-toned to fit the mood of the book and so much so that with the bad lighting in my apartment I had to use a flashlight to even be able to check out most of the details. The human characters were drawn almost non-inspiring but rather drab-seeming and the only characters to make a beautiful entrance were the unicorns.
There was one giraffe included in the story and I wouldn't mind hearing the backstory for him since he seems to stand between the two worlds. And a very curious peacock appears in all the royal scenes as well as stalks of possibly corn. Meanwhile there also seems to be a fox perhaps witnessing the encounter between the unicorn and child.
But the one thing that really stood out for the illustrations to me were all the birds. Zoe's dress has bluebirds on it, there is a possibly duck-herder at the start along with the noted peacock, a black bird exiting the page and another small unrecognizable flock a few pages later. This is also topped off by the swan/goose guy in the boat with his wards.
All in all it was rather a dark book to me and one whose message of giving up everything means you will be rewarded with the rarer yet best things in life just didn't click for me.

Set in a faraway kingdom called Joppardy, "Nobody Rides the Unicorn" tells the story of an orphan named Zoe, a sweet and gentle beggar girl with a beautiful voice. Zoe is summoned by the king to help capture a unicorn but is dismayed upon learning of his evil intentions, and she knows she must set the unicorn free. When the king realizes what has happened, he banishes Zoe from the kingdom. Fortunately, she remembers the land of the unicorns and uses her beautiful voice to help her get there, where the unicorns welcome her warmly to live happily ever after.
A major theme in this story is the idea of standing up for what is right, even when others say it's wrong.
Rating: 4/5
I personally really enjoyed this story. I think it communicates a lot of great, positive messages — strong girls, strong ethics/morality, acceptance, etc. I loved the way Zoe did what she knew was right despite also knowing that she would be punished for her actions, especially because she was ultimately rewarded by the unicorns for treating them with such kindness. The only reason I rated this book 4/5 stars was that it was slightly wordy. The story was beautiful, but I think that the intended young audience might be disinclined to finish it due to the abundance of text.
Although it is a longer story that may require a more mature audience with a longer attention span, I recommend "Nobody Rides the Unicorn" because there are a lot of positive themes and uplifting messages present throughout the story. Even though it's a fairytale, I think it provides several great opportunities for discussion with young readers about doing what is right and how to treat others with fairness, kindness, and respect. It is a little dark for very young readers, so it should probably be saved for slightly older audiences. Overall, though, I think it's a great story that is definitely worth reading for a variety of ages.

Nobody Rides the Unicorn is set in a magical kingdom and is about a young orphan named Zoe, who is asked by the king of the kingdom to help him find a unicorn, because she can sing sweetly and softly. It isn’t until Zoe lures a unicorn near that she discovers the king had foul intentions for the unicorn. The unicorn is captured and Zoe has the choice to sneak into where it is being held and sets the creature free. Upon her actions, the king banishes Zoe from the kingdom, and Zoe is challenged to find a new home.
The major themes of this story are learning how to be independent, making friends, as well as doing the right thing.
I gave this book a four-star rating because it has a great plot line for the reader to follow, especially children. I think that the fantasy aspect of this book also attracts young readers to the book in general. The illustrations in this book are beautiful and colorful, which is another attractive characteristic of this title. The only reason the book lost a star is that the book was a little long, and the text did drag on for a while, which might cause disinterest from younger readers.
I personally enjoyed this book very much, especially because when I was younger, I loved fantasy inspired movies, books, everything. I also loved that no one had to save the ‘helpless’ girl in this story, and that was able to save herself because she chose right over wrong.
I highly recommend this book to young readers because after thinking about the messages that this book sends, everyone could benefit from reading this book because we all have to make big choices in our lives. Learning to differentiate right from wrong is an important part of maturing, as well as becoming independent. This book helps to shape the aspects of making choices for yourself and learning from those choices.

Very clever and surprisingly upbeat take on the Unicorn hunt myth. It was unintentionally funny that the word "virgin" couldn't be used, and that only one could be found in the kingdom.
The dreamy, surreal illustrations were better than the text, and really added to the story. I did want to know why there was an old man carrying geese in his boat, though.
You can currently find this at the Internet Archive. It's best to search under "unicorns" or "Mitchell, Adrian, 1932 -2008" to find it, though.

Review of Nobody Rides the Unicorn by Adrian Mitchell and illustrated by Stephen Lambert
This book is about a young girl being used by a king to capture a unicorn. The artwork has a dreamlike quality to it. It has positive messaging (do the right thing). It is probably a book best read aloud to a child because for a picture book it has a fair bit of text. A good buy for a child who loves unicorns. I’d say it is a good bedtime book.

Decent for my patrons who want a unicorn book. A king tricks a little girl into luring a unicorn for him to use for his own ulterior motives, but she helps it escape and goes to visit him in the land behind the waterfall. I liked the fairy-tale elements, though it felt inconclusive. Illustrations were a bit somber/plain for my taste.
March 13, 2023
One of my all time favorite children's books. Just bought it to read during a unit with 9th graders because the emotions I feel while I read this are too much to keep to myself. Bravo, Adrian and Stephen, for your marvelous work.
February 28, 2018
This is a lovely children’s book. Any book that includes a unicorn is a delight! The fact that it has a female protagonist is a treat as well.
June 30, 2018
A wonderful story about the power of kindness and its reward, as well as a wonderful on words at the end.
Read
November 25, 2025I just unlocked a core memory of this book--I was fascinated by this story as a kid. I don't know that it's truly earth-shattering stuff, but it sure stuck in my imagination!
August 22, 2012
This book - aside from the usual fairy-tales and fairy stories - has been my favorite picture book ever since I can remember reading them. (I mean, my parents told me that I liked Peter Rabbit and knew the story off by heart before I could even read, but I can't really remember him).
Nobody Rides the Unicorn, despite being a children's book, has an innate and slightly sad beauty about it. I got to know and sympathize with the main character, Zoe, after only 20 pages of children's writing.
Zoe is a quiet little girl, very sweet and kind. She is tricked into trapping the Unicorn with her voice, so that the King can kill it so he can create plate and goblet out of its horn, so that the King will never die of poison. Zoe discovers the plan, and sets the Unicorn free.
When the King asks her who she thinks she is, she shyly answers "Nobody". So she is named Nobody and banished by the King. She travels to the Land of the Unicorns behind the Waterfall, and the Unicorn she saved allows Zoe to ride him. For, of course, "Nobody Rides the Unicorn."
I've always found this story so sad, and so beautiful, no matter how short it is. And even the illustrations with the words touch me in a way no other story-book has.
This book is absolutely lovely, and though I am now sixteen I still go back and read it now and again - and I'm sure that when I have children I will read it to them.

This book really struck me because it turned an ordinary girl who thought she was a nobody into someone special. Zoe, the young girl, had a gift of attracting unicorns and because of this gift the King tricked her into capturing a unicorn. When Zoe realizes she has been tricked she decides to go and set the unicorn free. This book is very magical and children will love it!
August 31, 2012
I let my 7 year old daughter rate this book, she says, "this book is very interesting , it's about a little girl who gets to ride a unicorn. She also says you should try to read this book!
I think the story was very sweet. Any book that teaches kindness to animals to children gets a thumbs up from me!

This was a cute book with what I thought were very classic fairy tale elements (the bad king, the innocent child, the horrible conspirator). It didn't knock my socks off (although I did enjoy the end's parallel to Odysseus and Polyphemus) but I liked it. The pictures were wonderful and magical, too.

just love it

An excellent children's take on the beautiful lengend of the unicorn and the young maid who can charm it.

I didn't read this book aloud this year, but I did share it with my kids. It is a great story that was a gift from a dear friend.

Got this for Erikk and I feel like it should be a classic! So good and too sweet!

a BEAUTIFUL tale told

The only reason I liked this story is because I identify with the quiet, sensitive little girl. The story was not particularly imaginative.
