Morgan and Me

30 years ago my mom read this book to me. Recently my 4 year old's procrastination reminded me of the princess in this book who always says "just a little later." I was thrilled that the book was still available and even more pleased that it is every bit as good as I remembered. My daughter enjoys it as much as I did when I was her age.

Morgan and Me had a great impact on me as a child. I would suggest that anyone pass this book along to their child. It was responsible for igniting my love for horses and consequently for the name of my youngest child! :) Enjoy!

"Morgan and Me" is the story of a young princess who lives in the Land of Later. She's a dreamer, but mostly she's a procrastinator, always putting off her duties until later.One day she gets lost in the woods and finds a unicorn with his horn stuck in a tree branch. Morgan, the unicorn, asks if she'll help him break free. The princess, however, would rather go play than help Morgan this minute. But she promises to return later.Once she grows bored of playing, the princess returns and cuts the branch away for Morgan. Together they roam the meadow, Morgan having since forgiven the princess for her belated rescue. However, the princess doesn't watch her step while they are playing and falls into a pond. From the safety of a lily pad, she calls for Morgan to help her. Morgan replies he will--eventually.The princess realizes her mistake earlier and heartfully apologizes to Morgan. Convinced, Morgan rescues the princess from the pond. And ever since, they've been best friends.I would recommend this book to young children, but I'm sure most adults will enjoy it just as much. Robin James is the talented illustrator of "Morgan and Me" and many other Stephen Cosgrove books. I highly recommend you read all of Cosgrove's books if you liked this one.

i LOVE morgan and me. as a 16 year old, i can still recallevery detail of this wonderful book about a princess and"her" morgan. sadly enough, through handing it down to a younger sister and moving out of our house, the book has disappeared. however, i have every intention of asking for the book for my 17th birthday.

My sister and I grew up with Morgan and Me and Leo the Lop, and I hope my children can grow up with Serendipity books also. Morgan and Me is about a princess who likes to procrastinate. But when she gets into a jam and Morgan the unicorn gives her a taste of her own medicine by waiting to help her, she learns a valuable lesson. She no longer lives in the Land of Later. (I was a chronic dilly-dally child, and this book really spoke to me!)
