Folkmanis Dragon and Unicorn puppets with "The Dragon and the Unicorn" Children's Book by Lynne Cherry

"Valerio the Dragon and Allegra the unicorn have always lived happily amidst the majestic tress of Ardet Forest and in harmony with the animals that call the forest home. But one day Valerio discovers a stranger, King Orlando, cutting down trees and building a shelter. Soon, the king orders his knights to capture the unicorn and then the dragon. Only the king's young daughter seems sympathetic to the plight of the animals who are losing their homes and to the dragon and unicorn who must now live in hiding. But can the princess help save the dragon, the unicorn, and Ardet Forest before it is too late?

There is also a different green dragon that is more fierce and longer that would go well with this book and story.

Possible additions to go with this book is the Princess puppet shown to the right.

Note: the characters in this book are dark skinned, but the King and Princess could certainly be used with the story even though they are not of the same ethnicity.

We also have a cute pink Princess Hat for a young girl to wear for play.
