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.

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.

Once more Dana Simpson makes me laugh out loud and share the experience with my loved ones.
This new installment of the cute duet Phoebe, the human girl, and Marigold, the Unicorn, has us thinking what make things relevant and popular.
What makes the world of humans suddenly fan around unicorns, and how the unicorns can be swayed toward loving humans.
This and more questions have our friendly couple analyzing and testing how friendship and the world works.
Sweet and funny as always, recommended for a Middle grade or pre-teen audience, it is advisable to share it with a parent or a teacher to draw the most out of the situations, questions and discussions presented.
An e-ARC of this book was kindly provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

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.
