Jan,
I had to get this one for myself so I could see and read for myself one of the books in the series I keep sending to out of state granddaughter at her request。 Now I know and can recommend it to all and sundry! And now I want my very own Unicorn for my friend!A must read for elementary/middle school graphic novel enthusiasts!I requested and received a free temporary ebook from Andrews McMeel Publishing via NetGalley。 Thank you!
Becky McGregor,
Dana Simpson did it again。 I just love this series, The vocabulary is challenging and it has the normal Phoebe and Unicorn humor。 I love all the characters and the goblins as well。。 This is my favorite graphic novel series and I just never tire of their antics。
Christina Zable,
Yes, this series is great for kids。 But it's great for other people too。 Everyone in our house -- that's two teens and two middle-aged adults -- loves it。 This book is as good as all the others; I laughed out loud again and again while reading it。 In a typical four-panel spread, three panels advance the plot, talk about the interpersonal problems of grade school life, or give background info on unicorn society。 And then that fourth panel just kills me -- making me snort or burst into laughter mo Yes, this series is great for kids。 But it's great for other people too。 Everyone in our house -- that's two teens and two middle-aged adults -- loves it。 This book is as good as all the others; I laughed out loud again and again while reading it。 In a typical four-panel spread, three panels advance the plot, talk about the interpersonal problems of grade school life, or give background info on unicorn society。 And then that fourth panel just kills me -- making me snort or burst into laughter more often than not, and nearly always carrying a clever surprise。 This volume will be joining all the others on our bookshelf -- though to be honest it will be found in the kids' rooms an awful lot of the time。 Or on the floor。 Or the sofa。 Or in the bathroom。 Because it's going to be read and enjoyed everywhere in the house。 。。。more

Another installment in the Phoebe and Her Unicorn series that will be grabbed by students who have already discovered the others, and by those who love anything unicorn。 Phoebe and her unicorn, Marigold, are the best of friends and help each other navigate through bullies, not being afraid to look ridiculous in front of people, and caring too much about what people think。 Through the fashion statements of how unicorns wear their t-shirts, to casting spells, and visiting the goblins in the forest Another installment in the Phoebe and Her Unicorn series that will be grabbed by students who have already discovered the others, and by those who love anything unicorn。 Phoebe and her unicorn, Marigold, are the best of friends and help each other navigate through bullies, not being afraid to look ridiculous in front of people, and caring too much about what people think。 Through the fashion statements of how unicorns wear their t-shirts, to casting spells, and visiting the goblins in the forest the two friends are very honest with each other and help each other through the rough patches。Great addition to an elementary library graphic novel collection。 。。。more

Kyra Leseberg (Roots & Reads),
The adventures of Phoebe and Marigold always bring a smile to my face and I adore sharing this series with my seven-year-old! There is alway relatable moments that have humor which appeals to both of us。 This volume focuses on the need for acceptance and once again shows readers the value of real friendship!Thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for my honest review。 Unicorn Famous is scheduled for release on April 6, 2021。

Jessi,
I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review 。Such a fun and adorable graphic novel。 I totally get why it is one of my 8- year- old's favorites! Dana Simpson has built a really entertaining world, and I love her sly commentary on modern culture。 I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a new series for middle grade readers!

Heidi,
These Phoebe and Unicorn collections are always sweet and charming。 They show the best of childhood without being overly saccharine。 I’d recommend them even to an adult reader who just wants a few minutes escape from all the less pleasant parts of life。

Received via Netgalley in exchange for a fair and unbiased review。For a lot of comic serieses, such as Big Nate, Fox Trot, etc, the jokes start getting old, and repetitive。 When you're cycling through the same characters, and they never grow any older, it's inevitable that plot lines are going to start sounding familiar。 We're 13 installments into the Phoebe and Her Unicorn series, and I'm still marveling at the number of insane ways Dana Simpson has Phoebe and Marigold interact。 In fact, even w Received via Netgalley in exchange for a fair and unbiased review。For a lot of comic serieses, such as Big Nate, Fox Trot, etc, the jokes start getting old, and repetitive。 When you're cycling through the same characters, and they never grow any older, it's inevitable that plot lines are going to start sounding familiar。 We're 13 installments into the Phoebe and Her Unicorn series, and I'm still marveling at the number of insane ways Dana Simpson has Phoebe and Marigold interact。 In fact, even when we get throw backs to prior plot points, they're hysterical Easter eggs for the people who've been reading and re-reading the previous volumes。 I fear I will never get tired of this series。 I hope it goes on forever。 。。。more
Shelley,
The latest in the Phoebe and her Unicorn series does not disappoint! My 7 year old and I have been reading these books together since she was about 3 years old, and we get so excited when a new one is available。 For anyone who is a fan of unicorns this is a must read。 Don't we all want our very own unicorn best friend? I sure do, and reading about Phoebe and Marigold Heavenly Nostrils is a good substitute。*I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 The latest in the Phoebe and her Unicorn series does not disappoint!

It’s always cause for celebration in our household when Dana Simpson announces a new release of the Phoebe and her Unicorn series。 The latest in the series, Unicorn Famous, yet again, kept my daughter and I giggling。 This one was harder to put down, and the phrase, “just a few more pages” was heard often at bedtime。 In fact, Unicorn Famous had my daughter attempting to covertly skirt bedtime as she hid the book under the covers。 Simpson has an amazing talent of creating unique and relatable char It’s always cause for celebration in our household when Dana Simpson announces a new release of the Phoebe and her Unicorn series。 The latest in the series, Unicorn Famous, yet again, kept my daughter and I giggling。 This one was harder to put down, and the phrase, “just a few more pages” was heard often at bedtime。 In fact, Unicorn Famous had my daughter attempting to covertly skirt bedtime as she hid the book under the covers。 Simpson has an amazing talent of creating unique and relatable characters。 My daughter can see her own Dad in the video gaming father, and she has classmates who remind her of Max, Phoebe, and Dakota。 For this reason, my 9 year old adored seeing more of Dakota, but she lamented that there were less parts with Max。 Which just goes to show, the more you read the series, the easier you fall in love with all the characters (even minor ones)。 We will eagerly await the next release of Phoebe and her Unicorn, and, until then, we will continue reliving Marigold’s adventures through rereading。 I wanted to extend a huge thank you to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for our honest review。 。。。more

English Review below。كتاب آخر في سلسلة فيبي واليونيكورن، التي تضم 13 كتابا حتى الآن على حسب ظني، وقد قرأت كتابا واحدا فقط قبل ذلك وهذا كتابي الثاني من السلسلة وأفضله أكثر من الكتاب السابق الذي قرأته。 كنت أعرف هذه الكوميكس بالفعل سابقا من على الإنترنت، لكن عوضا عن أن تكون مجموعة كوميكس بقصص قصيرة جدا تنتهي في صفحة واحدة، الكتب تتبع قصص معينة وتجعلها تستحوذ أكثر من صفحة。 السلسلة عن فيبي وصديقتها اليونيكورن ماريجولد وعلاقتهما، وتظهر شخصيات ومخلوقات أخرى。 الكتاب طبعا موجه للأطفال لكن أظن أن البالغين English Review below。كتاب آخر في سلسلة فيبي واليونيكورن، التي تضم 13 كتابا حتى الآن على حسب ظني، وقد قرأت كتابا واحدا فقط قبل ذلك وهذا كتابي الثاني من السلسلة وأفضله أكثر من الكتاب السابق الذي قرأته。 كنت أعرف هذه الكوميكس بالفعل سابقا من على الإنترنت، لكن عوضا عن أن تكون مجموعة كوميكس بقصص قصيرة جدا تنتهي في صفحة واحدة، الكتب تتبع قصص معينة وتجعلها تستحوذ أكثر من صفحة。 السلسلة عن فيبي وصديقتها اليونيكورن ماريجولد وعلاقتهما، وتظهر شخصيات ومخلوقات أخرى。 الكتاب طبعا موجه للأطفال لكن أظن أن البالغين سيستمتعون به، وبالذات بحس فكاهة اليونيكورن ماريجولد。Another instalment in the Phoebe and her Unicorn series, I've only read another one out of 13 so far, but I liked this one better。 I already knew these comics from online, but having the bind up makes the comics instead of a being single strip, some stories take more than a strip, and it gets deeper into the relationships。 Marigold, the unicorn, is so sassy and wile her humour suits the middle grade readers, whom are the intended audience, she says some things that I think adults will appreciate as well。It's a fun comics series for kids, that adults can enjoy as well。I thank Netgalley and Andrews McMeel publishing for the digital ARC 。。。more

This book was cute! I loved reading it as an adult and thought it was very funny。 As a 5th-6th grade special education teacher, I thought some of the dialogue and conversations between characters were too advanced-almost as if this book was written for adults or teenagers。 I am not sure I would choose to read this one aloud to my class。 However, I do have some students that I know would still find this story humorous。 I loved the message of self-acceptance and the encouragement that we can be wh This book was cute!

Dianna,
DNF - Unicorn Famous is a graphic novel about a girl and her unicorn。 I just wasn't able to get into the story。 It was a bit bizarre for me and honestly I wasn't entirely sure what was going on。 Having said that, I do think that it might appeal to tween and young teen girls。 So just because I didn't personally like it, I think that it would be a good addition to a children's/YA collection。 DNF - Unicorn Famous is a graphic novel about a girl and her unicorn。 I just wasn't able to get into the story。 It was a bit bizarre for me and honestly I wasn't entirely sure what was going on。 Having said that, I do think that it might appeal to tween and young teen girls。 So just because I didn't personally like it, I think that it would be a good addition to a children's/YA collection。 。。。more

As always, the comics follow Phoebe and her best friend who just so happens to be a unicorn。 The sense of humor is great and the artwork simple but easy to follow。 Marigold is sassy and self-centered but she's really entertaining and has some great one-liners。 She can get pretty dark too which makes the comics even funnier!

These are always so fun。 It’s great to see another adventure happening with phoebe and her unicorns。 This one deals with human trends, friendship, and even hats。 I like seeing pheobd getting along with her enemy friend and they’ve learned to actually try to be friends。 I absolutely love this series and can’t wait for more。 Perfect for kids who love unicorns and graphic novels
Jessi,
Another fabulous book from Dana Simpson。 Though the stories show the life of a grade schooler, she doesn't talk down to them and even includes a glossary in every book because her vocabulary might be above their reading level。Phoebe and Marigold are back again talking about unicorn fashion and going to the goblin awards as well as a water park。 We learn more about unicorn lore including what unicorns used to think about thunder and a story about caring what others think。 One of my favorite story Another fabulous book from Dana Simpson。 Though the stories show the life of a grade schooler, she doesn't talk down to them and even includes a glossary in every book because her vocabulary might be above their reading level。Phoebe and Marigold are back again talking about unicorn fashion and going to the goblin awards as well as a water park。 We learn more about unicorn lore including what unicorns used to think about thunder and a story about caring what others think。 One of my favorite storylines is the relationship between Phoebe and her frenemy Dakota。 I'm loving seeing how they went from mean girl and the person she bullied to both of them slowly growing。 。。。more

This is the thirteenth time I’ve been allowed to see what lies beneath the Shield of Boringness and I’d hang out with Marigold and her human, Phoebe, again tomorrow if Marigold was inclined to magic up the fourteenth graphic novel by then。 There’s a great blend of comics that explore things we already know in a new way, like Marigold’s obsession with her reflection, and entirely new, very important unicorn related information。 Unicorn sneers will make 62% of your freckles fall off。 We also discover what’s to blame for us not being able to get negative comments out of our heads。 It was (view spoiler)[peanut butter (hide spoiler)] all along。 Who would have suspected something that’s seemingly innocuous was capable of something so dastardly?!Thank you so much to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the opportunity to fall in love with this graphic novel early。Blog - https://schizanthusnerd。com["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]> 。。。more
