Anyone read the Secret of the Unicorn Queen books? OMG, I loved them!!

I guess there were only 6 of them written from the website I found says. I know I only read 4. I would totally go back and read these again if I could find them all. I remember wishing I could be swept away by a time machine to a time of unicorns! These are definately on my list to get for the girls. I hope they like to read as much as me!!

I've read voraciously since first grade (back in the prehistoric days of 1960). I learned to read with Dick and Jane,lol. I read the Bobbsy Twins (don't recall plots,lol). I had absolutely gorgeous fairy tale books. I read Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book in second grade. But I was so into horses (and dinosaurs); I read a lot of Marguite Henry's books like Misty of Chincoteague, Born to Trot,etc. There were a few Walter Farley's like The Black Stallion and The Red Stallion. But if a book was in the shelves at home (my parents always had lots of books. My mother had been an english major and had LOTS of great literature), I read it (they approved it of course).
I still love reading about as much as anything I can do.
