Why read it?

2 authors picked Phoebe and Her Unicorn as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

When Phoebe accidentally rescues unicorn Marigold Heavenly Nostrils from a lifetime of staring at her own loveliness, the two become bonded for life. The graphic novel series gently pokes fun at popular culture as well as its characters’ petty foibles. It’s this generation’s version of Calvin and Hobbes, but with more sparkles and less casual misogyny. 

From Jess' list on unusual unicorns.

Unicorns are almost horses, right? I bought this book and a few more in the Phoebe and Her Unicorn series for a child that loved them. What I didn’t expect was to love them too! The books are graphic novels, and Phoebe and Marigold Heavenly Nostrils (the unicorn) are a fun, fresh, and thoroughly entertaining pair that made me smile again and again!
