The adventures of Phoebe and Marigold her Unicorn are very well written and pleasant to read. I like it had the friendship story in it. This book is comic book form and goes very smoothly. It would hold a childs interest and has humor and gives you things to talk about with your child. I feel this book is good for age 5 and up., even adults could read it and enjoy it. I love books who also spark a childs imagination with the unicorns and dragons. Her friends Max (who is kind of shy), and Sue (who is overconfident) have different personalities which add to the story because they each remind you of someone you know. The addition of Florence, Marigold's sister who had a spider on the nose problem was a nice treat. I am definately going to get more in this series as my Granddaughter would love the books.
I've been thrilled to follow the series of <i>Phoebe and Her Unicorn</i>, especially with such endearing characters like Phoebe, Marigold, Max, Phoebe's parents, Sue from camp, and even Dakota, Phoebe's "frenemy." While most of the books are actually collections of the 4-panel comics, <i>Unicorn Theater</i> is actually the second graphic novelization of an over-arcing story. This is simply a different format to enjoy a much longer story, and this one involves Marigold's sister, Florence Unfortunate Nostrils, and the test of friendship.
Much like other books in the series, I would highly recommend <i>Unicorn Theater</i> for both young readers and older readers to enjoy, especially if they can enjoy reading it together. All readers will appreciate the adorable and humorous antics of the characters while also learning more about the importance of communication and being honest with others, particularly with our family and friends.
Not bad, but can't get excited over it either. Yes, it conveys a moral, but.... it was all just a pit too sugary and pep.
I received a copy through Netgalley.
