This book has a lot of seasonal changes to it. Halloween costumes, summer reading, vacation, snow days. More exploration of bullying and the challenges of school. I continue to love this series, but sometimes the sequence of events can get confusing as most of the series is not necessarily in any particular order and jumps around between seasons. This is the 5th book and after reading it, I fell off the Phoebe and Marigold train for a while...some of the jokes have begun to get repetitive. I think it being a daily comic is to its detriment after a certain point, it's hard to come up with brand new unicorn material every single day.

Note: I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley. I was not compensated in any other fashion for the review and the opinions reflected below are entirely my own. Special thanks to the publisher and author for providing the copy.

I love this series. It's not super sweet so it will still interest the kids who aren't into rainbows and unicorns.

'Unicorn Crossing' by Dana Simpson is the 5th collection of comics in the Heavenly Nostrils series. Even 5 volumes in, this is still a consistently fun series to read.

This time around there are snow days and camping trips. There is dreaded summer reading homework. A big section of the book is about Halloween and the choosing of pretty funny costumes. Phoebe's nemesis Dakota is around, like a perpetual thorn in her side. Included this time around is a glossary for some of the words used.

Phoebe and her unicorn are fast friends still, even though it seems so unlikely that they would be. And Phoebe still feels very much like a real girl. I like the addition of the glossary and not dumbing down the language. It encourages some language development in younger readers, and this is a really fun series for younger readers.

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

Another awesome adventure with these two that's just as much fun s he rest of the series.

I received a digital copy of this book from Netgalley/the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Unicorn Crossing is the fifth book in the Phoebe and her Unicorn Adventure series by Dana Simpson. My three girls- especially my oldest- are big fans of this comic, so I was very excited about the opportunity to share this with them.

Phoebe is a fairly average girl, with one notable exception: her pet unicorn Marigold. Phoebe and Marigold navigate a fairly typical American childhood with a good sense of humor. This dynamic duo experiences seasons, holidays, school, friendship, and more. A fairly small ensemble rounds out the cast: Phoebe’s parents, her friend Max, and her frenemy Dakota. There are plenty of pop culture references, with a notable geeky slant.

There are a number of storylines in this comic collection, and there is also a punchline in the last panel of every page. Simpson’s artistic style is fun and quirky, and this adds to the charm of the series.

My girls absolutely loved reading this book. In fact, we purchased our own copy after the time elapsed on my review copy. It fits in nicely with our collection of other Phoebe books. My oldest daughter insisted on reading the comic out loud to me so she could share her favorite parts.

I would absolutely recommend Unicorn Crossing to fans of all ages who enjoy comic series like Calvin & Hobbes and Foxtrot. Because this is a comic collection, you don’t have to read the other Phoebe and Her Unicorn books first. Of course, you’re going to want to read more about Phoebe and Marigold after you read this one! As a parent, I appreciate that Simpson uses a sophisticated vocabulary, and even includes a glossary to help younger readers with unfamiliar words that they encounter in the text. We are already looking forward to the next adventure, and we can’t wait to see what Phoebe and Marigold are going to do next!

My daughter and son both love to read these books. Comic books were never my thing but with my kids so into them I've given them another chance. This series is quite entertaining. I especially love the glossary.

I love this series. It is very good. I would definitely recommend it to others.

I really enjoy this series, I have not even read the first few but you can pretty much pick this up at any point and laugh-out-loud at the crazy things this girl and her unicorn do.

Phoebe is a little girl, who as you might have noticed, has a friend unicorn. They are together almost all of the time and their dialogue is witty and off-kilter and wonderful to read. Some of the panels are stand alone ones, while others take a few for longer more in depth tales.

What makes this so funny is Marigold is so self-centered but Pheobe doesn't care and is used to her remarks about beauty and the wonderful unicorn world we humans don't get to see. Their friendship is silly, understanding, and full of fun times.

This series gets better with each volume. Clever, funny, and filled with nods to nerd culture. It's well drawn and has a quirky outlook on life. THe only thing I would change would be to give each book a cohesive plot rather than a random collection.

As always, laugh aloud funny. Read in public and you will be getting sideway glances from strangers.

After reading the previous volumes I couldn't wait to get my hands onto this one and it did not disappoint. Hilarious and lovely in equal measures, all the small stories are so addictive that I couldn't help myself and had to read everything in one go instead of pacing myself and enjoying it over a longer time. But I have no regrets and rereading is just as much fun as reading it for the first time...

Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with so many good laughs again. Definite recommendation.

I will forever love Phoebe and Marigold. This collection has all of the usual suspects: Dakota and Blaart the goblin, Max and Todd the candy dragon, and naturally her parents, all up to their usual tricks. Her dad, especially, is still my #parentinggoals. My favorite strip, of course, is this one: http://www.gocomics.com/phoebe-and-her-unicorn/2015/07/23 of which I definitely need a blown-up poster of the third panel for my office at the library. (Also, LOVED the shout-out to "Firefly" on her dad's t-shirt that one time he was grilling!)

I've heard about this series on several podcasts and at least a few blogs and there was a general amount of squee-age involved with every review. And now I know why.
The unicorn, Marigold, and her human friend Phoebe go through a lot in this book. Halloween, winter, reading books (discussion of ebook vs. physical vs. scroll), Marigold going on a trip, and many other adventures. It's fast, it's fun, it even imparts some moral lessons. A good read.

Four and a half stars
This book comes out March 28

Both adorable and witty, the story is very uplifting!

My 9-year-old daughter and I both LOVE this series. I felt this one was a little more disjointed than the others, but I still very much enjoyed it.

This was adorable and fun. This is my first Phoebe and Marigold volume, but I will definitely be picking up the rest. I loved it! It was both whimsical and sarcastic.

This series continues to delight and incite all sorts of laughter and giggling.

This was pretty much my dream when I was a kid, a pet unicorn. I loved the seasonal adventures, geeky parents, and sweet and simple artwork.
