Unicorn Famous by Dana Simpson
5.0
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.
