I received an ARC of this title from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Phoebe and her Unicorn, Marigold Heavenly Nostrils, are back for another adventure!

It's summer, so join Phoebe and Marigold as they go to the pool, go camping, play cards, try stand-up comedy and more in this volume of the hit graphic novel series! See more of friends such as Max, Todd the Candy Dragon, Lord Splendid Humility, Dakota and her Goblins, as well as a new friend: a unicorn named Al with a lot of misconceptions about humans! Every day is an adventure for best friends Phoebe and Marigold, turning the ordinary and mundane into something magical and worthy of a unicorn!

Every Phoebe and Her Unicorn book is more fun and delightful than the last. You can feel how much Dana Simpson loves her characters, and enjoys putting them in different scenarios. Who else would think to put a unicorn in a tire swing and find out what happens?

In this installment, Phoebe even gains a touch of maturity and makes tentative amends with her archnemesis, Dakota. Considering they are both friends with magical creatures, it only makes sense. From fashion choices to walking on the ceiling, there's everything to love about this book and this series.

'Camping with Unicorns' by Dana Simpson is the 11th collection of cartoons about a young girl and her vain but friendly unicorn.

School is out, which means Phoebe is free to play with her unicorn friend, Marigold Heavenly Nostrils. She also has time to ponder the new events with her frenemy Dakota. There is camping to do, and we learn that unicorn horns are good for roasting marshmallows and apples. Dakota is adjusting to being queen of the goblins. Phoebe learns that unicorn money can't be used to buy ice cream. All too soon, summer is over and Phoebe heads back to school.

I've enjoyed every one of these collections I've read. The humor has stayed fresh and the characters are fun to read about. The art is consistently fun to look at.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

It took a minute to get used to the style of comic strip versus a larger narrative but once I got used to it, I enjoyed it. I love Unicorn's take on the world :)
I'm interested in reading more but kind of a "sure, if it's there." I think it will be helpful and start at the beginning, or as close to the beginning as I can.
This series is one of Juliette's favorites so there will be more Phoebe and Her Unicorn in the future (I think Unicorn would debate the "Her Unicorn" aspect of this subtitle).

Another Phoebe and Her Unicorn adventure! This another collection of strips, rather than a cohesive single storyline, set while Phoebe is on summer vacation from school. A number of the mini-arcs were cute, like the one where Phoebe's family goes camping with Max and his moms and they find a unicorn in the woods whose gaming system runs on photosynthesis, but none of them had me hooting with laughter like I have in the past.
