What a terrible book! I guess sad is not my thing-- but even then, the story makes no sense! The moral of the story is that you can become a unicorn, but you can't see your mommy ever again? What part of that helps a child learn anything? And really, what mother do you know that would just walk away from that waterfall? I don't think so. Whatever. I don't recommend this one.

I am up on the air about this book but the first thing I want to say is that this book has some of the most beautiful Serendipity artwork. Robin does a great job in bring the spirited and young colt to life for you to view while the pictures of him as a unicorn are gorgeous.
This is definitely a book that I would recommend for older children, not younger, and the reason is since I am on the fence for this one as it is a sad one while also not making sense. The young colt ends up disobeying his ...more

"Into this life, Morgan was born, to live, maybe die, as a Unicorn." Is their any better line? ^_^
This book is about a horse named Morgan. He likes to explore and he doesn’t really listen to his mother, because he is curious. His mother tells him that one day he’s going to get into trouble. And one day he does, he falls over a waterfall, and no one can get to him to rescue him. The morning star sees this little horse waiting to die, and the star changes Morgan into a unicorn. But Morgan has to leave his mom and goes to a magical land.

A teacher who knew I liked unicorns...
This is my favourite children's book series...except for this particular book. It is the saddest, most traumatic thing I ever read as a child. It made me literally think about dying...I mean, it gave me the idea that if I were ever injured or sick, my mother might walk away and leave me. So if I wanted to be a unicorn, I needed to leave my family forever. I was a little girl...of course I wanted to be a unicorn lol. Terrible message that instills all kinds of fears into a child's head about aban

When I was good, my Daddy would reward me by taking me to the book store. We found Serendipity books, and became addicted. The pictures were beautiful, the words sounded poetic when read with my father's Spanish accent. I began closing my eyes and picturing the stories in my head as he read. Before I was even able to read, Serendipity books built the foundation upon which my love of reading now stands.
I love "Morgan Morning" just like any of the Serendipity books by Stephen Cosgrove. It is the story of a curious foal who finds himself in a perilous situation. The illustrations are stunning and complement the story well. The moral at the end of the book is wonderful.

This series of books is the most wonderfully illustrated, sweetest series available for children. Each book is beautiful, the animals are so sweetly drawn and each book teaches a wonderful lesson. I still have all of my original copies from my childhood (the 90s).
Poor Morgan, it really is a very sad little book.
I loved this book SO MUCH as a child!! All of the "Serendipity" books were dear to me. :-)
This is the first beloved book my mom bought that solidified my love for this series and my lifelong obsession with unicorns (that DID NOT end with my preteen years!).
I'm a fan of the Serendipity books, but this book is really just depressing. So, so sad.
Even as a kid, I like the sad ones best.
This one was always my favorite of the Serendipity books. So sad.
