Unicorn of Many Hats

Every book in this series is a delight. Phoebe is best friends with a unicorn. Hilarity ensues. I especially enjoy the moments with Phoebe’s parents. Great fun for adults and children alike.

Another great adventure with Marigold and Phoebe! In this one, we get a glimpse of Marigold's home!

Follow Phoebe through the beginning of a new school year, Halloween, and the winter holidays.

I adore this series, and everyone to whom I have recommended it has absolutely loved it. Each book in the series is full of sparkly unicorn awesomeness while remaining fresh and funny.

This book is a box of sunshine.

<i>"Am I smiling? I feel like I am smiling..."</i>

As always, I loved this Phoebe and Her Unicorn Adventures. I reviewed the fourth book in the series and am super excited to be reviewing the seventh one as well. The relationship between Phoebe and Marigold is so fun, the pictures are amazing and the short stories keep young readers engaged. My daughter has become a fan of this series and it's so fun to see her sitting there laughing at the Phoebe and Marigold. I just don't have enough positive things to say about this marvelous children's book! I look forward to many more!

I buy these for my junior high library and all the grade 6 girls adore them. They have even talked some of the boys into reading them!

This is the first I've read in the Heavenly Nostrils series and I actually might have to go back and read some more. They are absolutely adorable, funny, good, clean fun. I've always been more of a tomboy than a girlie girl so I did get into some comics (although I was much more of a novel reader) but they were all superheroes and Calvin and Hobbs basically. I may have actually read these as a child, despite the fact that they were about a unicorn. That says a lot. Now I mention Calvin and Hobbs not because these remind me of them nor are they quite the same quality but if you have a kid into unicorns and comics, this is the series for them.

My fave unicorn—and that’s saying a lot—and her human sidekick are back quickly after a new original graphic novel not long ago. This volume doesn’t contain a whole story like that one, but does appear to be all-new material—none of them seem familiar to me from the daily strip, anyway—in, I’m guessing from the size of the panels, Sunday format.
I can’t believe someone as geeky as her dad complains about all electronic devices being the same shape. Will you ever see an apostrophe—rhyme!—riding a unicorn car again? But the best thing of all: we finally get to see Marigold’s house!
At this point there’s nothing much left to say. This is easily my favorite comic strip, and one of the best ones out there. Even though it isn’t a complete new story like the last one, it’s still the same ton of fun as the others.
4.5 pushed up to 5/5

I can’t get enough of Marigold Heavenly Nostrils.

I was a huge fan of unicorns as a child growing up in the 80s, and I think I would enjoy this entire series. The illustrations are done in cartoon style, and there is plenty of content featuring Phoebe and her unicorn. Quite a fun escape and some lessons learned along the way. I think many kids would enjoy reading this special story and viewing the entertaining and beautifully drawn illustrations.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and Netgalley, for the complimentary copy.

I always have one thought after reading a title in this series; clearly I need my very own magical unicorn.

This is another delightful addition to the "Phoebe and Her Unicorn" Series.
Marigold Heavenly Nostrils is not your average, run-of -the-mill Unicorn. Young readers, once again, will be enthralled by Phoebe and her latest friend.

ARC COPY...it's just another fun day with the wprld's vainest unicorn and....ever had to pick out a costume for a Dragon's party? RAARRR!

A Unicorn of Many Hats is another funny and cute installment in the continuing adventures oh Phoebe and her Unicorn. If you are a fan of the series you'll enjoy this one.
I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest reivew.

Phoebe and her Unicorn are so much fun in this latest installment. I absolutely love their adventures.

This book is another great installment of the Heavenly Nostrils Series. This volumes takes off at the end of summer break and leads us all the way into the New Year. We even get a glimpse of the Unicorn's house! This title was a little slower than the rest as there was no real action or story to follow through, but it was still a very enjoyable read.

In Dana Simpson's latest Phoebe and Her Unicorn Adventure, Phoebe (along with her unicorn, Marigold Heavenly Nostrils) is trying to navigate the fourth grade world. Summer vacation is coming to an end and school is starting. Phoebe has a new teachers. She is trying to make friends with Dakota - someone she does not like. She is trying to get the older kids (fifth graders) to notice how cool she is. All of this is hard when you have a unicorn that only thinks of herself and how "distractingly beautiful" she is. 

My daughter was very excited to get this new book since she loved all the previous adventures. She has read this book three times so far (and we have had it for a day). She and I laughed throughout the book. She and I keep going back to certain parts of the book and reread them out loud to others in our family. Dana Simpson captured the life of a fourth grader perfectly. Although Phoebe wants to fit in, the book stays true to the series - being yourself.

Not only is the story entertaining, but the illustrations in the book are amazing. I love the bright colors and Marigold's house is someplace I want to live - oh yeah, we finally get to see Marigold's house. And I would love to have her piece of furniture made of "beautiful, half-forgotten visions of a better world".  

I would defiantly recommend this book and the complete series to both kids and parents. The humor that helps move the book along is not lost with kids. Parents will enjoy Phoebe as well as her unicorn's unbridled vanity.

These books are always a lot of fun. They're funny and colorful. I love that the vocab is higher level. I let my 7-year-old test reader read this one, and she was cracking up in the other room.

Dana Simpson never disappoints with her Phoebe and Her Magic Unicorn series. All the illustrations are always colorful, engaging and well detailed. The series chronicles the lives and adventures of 4th grade Phoebe and her best friend and unicorn Marigold. Not only are these graphic novels fun they also touch on topics such as finding out where you fit at school, how to try new experiences and how to deal (comically) with mean girls. Phoebe and Marigold will cross over to variety of readers because of the humor.

I  recieved a free digital copy of this book from Netgalley for an honest review.

I love that at the very beginning of the book, it informs readers that there's a glossary of terms at the back of the book if you dont understand something.

Marigold the unicorn is hilarious! I like when he (she?) tries to get the cat to create a union! 😂 I even enjoyed the quips that Phoebe threw out there. Overall it was a rather enjoyable book, and I believe my niece would love this!

4⭐️ Phoebe and her unicorn are just a lot of fun. You can leave the book and come back and easily pick up where you left off. It has heart and morals as both the Unicorn and Phoebe lean to be be better people. As always a great read.

A good book that my daughters will enjoy me buying them

Review:

I still haven't read the first books in this series but I am still really liking the ones that I am picking up as the story continues. This is another collection of Phoebe and Marigold, not a full story like the last one, but more like comic strips in one book. If you haven't read any of these, they aren't hard to pick up and just start - as long as you just go with the fact that Phoebe has a unicorn for a bestie.

The illustrations are fun and vibrant, and the dialogue is clever and sarcastic and wonderful for a lot of age groups. I always laugh out loud when I am reading this series and I can't wait for the next one.

Ivan literally squealed when I showed him this on. So first, let me thank NetGalley for letting me review another Phoebe and her Unicorn adventure.

There's nothing specific I can point out. It follows Phoebe and the people in her life. She deals with teasing, friendships, and other issues. My son has his own things to deal with, and one of them is pointing out the "truth" to people. When Phoebe insisted Marigold was a horse and Marigold stormed off in a huff, it made me happy that he had read that lesson.

There are so many good things pack in here, and it's funny and cute. The little girl in me who loved Unicorns, adores this series. I also love that I can enjoy this with my son.

I hope Dana keeps writing, and that Ivan and I can keep reading.

P.S. It was pretty awesome to see Ivan light up telling his librarian how he got to read the latest Phoebe and Her Unicorn book before anyone else! lol

Phoebe and her unicorn are back and with it another standing ovation of appreciation. Lets hope the adventures and antics never end. Dana Simpson's unique sense of humor imbues her characters with originality and spunk.

Phoebe and Marigold are off on a new set of adventures that capture Dana Simpson's incredible imagination and wit. Marigold learns to write fan letters (you can definitely assume you know who the first person she writes one to is). Phoebe finds a like-minded individual on the internet but then finds out she might not like the person so much IRL. And we get to see Marigold's house as well as learning about unicorn elections and how the friends spend their holidays (let's just say Marigold is not about to let a Christmas tree out-sparkle her.)

As usual, a highly entertaining read. Well worth picking up.



Four and a half stars

This book comes out March 20

Follows Phoebe and Her Unicorn in the Magic Storm

ARC kindly provided by NetGalley

Loved it and super happy that it was a return to episodic story telling versus the graphic novel the last release was. I enjoyed that still but the real magic is seeing how much can be contained and told on a single page. I love this comic and love sharing it with parents of reluctant readers and watching them come back in for more because their reader is hooked. Thanks for the magic.

Was this the best Phoebe and her Unicorn book? No, but it was certainly a fun read. The art was on point and Simpson continues with a more serialized approach to developing the strips and panels. (Yes, I am not a comic reader so don't know the proper terms.)

I did find it a bit more disjointed in places, and we covered a lot of ground in terms of the time elapsed from the start of the book to the ending. A few pages seemed out of place in the flow of the "plot" and a few were a bit disappointing, but all in all, I enjoyed how Marigold can convey so much with the tilt of her head. And Phoebe is such a fun little girl especially when she's oozing sarcasm.

My 9 year old read this one and said it's a really cool book. She loved how every couple of pages it turned into a new season. She also enjoyed how every time the power went out the unicorn could use her horn and create WIFI. She said this was a super fun book to read!

This continues to be one of my favorite graphic series for kids - the humor is pitch perfect and appeals to a wide range of readers. Keep 'em coming!

This is a fun read with great illustrations and humor. I really enjoyed the references to technology which would be great conversation starters on the topic.

Unicorn of Many Hats is a book that follows a little girl named Phoebe and her unicorn friend around. It is such a fun and cute read. The author have such a cute humor put into the book that I found myself laughing at the most perfect parts of the book. Everything about the book is really adorable and I love it to pieces. :)

I had never even heard of this series before requesting this from Netgalley. I almost scrolled right past it, but I'm always looking for cute books for my Allison, and figured why not.

Holy crap, why has no one told me about the adorableness that is Phoebe and Marigold Heavenly Nostrils before?

The comics are hilariously funny, and so sweet. The humor is perfect for younger ages, but adults can enjoy it just as well. Marigold is snotty and superior, but she's a unicorn, would you expect any less? Phoebe is precocious, but not a brat, like a lot of kids in comics are.

I've already requested the rest of the series from my library's app. I must read the entire series. And I must get these books for Allison, and Christopher, too. He's almost 10, but I think he'll still appreciate them.

Editing to Add: I have just been told that this is the creator of Ozy and Millie. I am absolutely furious that I didn't know she'd created another series, considering how much I love O&M. What the heck.

My daughter has enjoyed reading the Phoebe novels. This one was no exception. She looks forward to the next one each time a new one comes out.

4.5 stars! I think these books are getting better as the series goes along. Fun stories in this volume - not just Phoebe and Marigold, but also stories with Phoebe's family, Dakota and other kids. This is my favorite graphic novel series for kids!

Sparkle-filled thanks to Andrews McMeel and NetGalley for a digital ARC of my new favorite graphic novel series.

Phoebe and Marigold continue their adventures framed by some noteworthy events like: Marigold getting the opportunity to babysit Phoebe, Phoebe discussing tribbles with her dad, Marigold trying her best to outsparkle the Christmas tree, Phoebe realizing that a friend is being bullied and more events we can all relate to whether young or old. Highly recommended.

Unicorn of Many Hats is the seventh book in Dana Simpson’s Phoebe and her Unicorn series of comics. I was very excited to read this book and share it with my oldest daughter because she loves this series.

The premise is fairly simple: Phoebe is an elementary school student, and her best friend is a unicorn named Marigold Heavenly Nostrils. Marigold is mostly invisible, but she does have some interactions with the other characters.

Unicorn of Many Hats tends to follow a similar setup to the other books, wherein the good part of a year is covered, without the characters really aging from one book to another. There are story arcs devoted to starting school, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Many of the familiar secondary characters have returned, including frenemy Dakota, Max, Phoebe’s geeky parents, and even the goblins make an appearance.

My oldest daughter is in the fifth grade, and she loves this series just as much as she loves iconic comics like Peanuts and Calvin and Hobbes. The humor tends to veer toward the geeky, with numerous wry asides. My daughter especially enjoyed the Unicorn Christmas songs.

I would absolutely recommend Unicorn of Many Hats to middle grade readers as well as fans of comics. There aren’t really any story arcs that span multiple volumes, so readers can jump right into the series with this book if they would like. We are already looking forward to the next unicorn book because we love Phoebe and Marigold so much!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book.

I do so love Phoebe and Marigold - such magical adventures throughout the monotony of every day life :-)

This is such a cute series for middle graders. It was a fast read and I've recommended to some kids who are reluctant to read books, but want to read.

Unicorn of Many Hats is the seventh volume of comics featuring Phoebe and her best friend, unicorn Marigold Heavenly Nostrils. The stories are sweet and fun, with a Calvin and Hobbes kind of feel. Marigold Heavenly Nostrils 'helps' (mostly) Phoebe navigate a bunch of issues kids are familiar with - like the end of the summer holidays,tricky social and friendship issues at school, and having embarrassing parents. I loved seeing Phoebe's parents in this volume - I think her dad is really funny. I also really enjoy the way Marigold's questions show how ridiculous our world can be - poking fun in particular at the internet and technology.

For anyone joining in with the Book Riot Read Harder Challenge in 2018, this one ticks off a couple of prompts:
4. A comic written and drawn by the same person
15. A one sitting book
18. A comic that isn’t published by Marvel, DC, or Image

Unicorn of Many Hats is available now. Phoebe and her Unicorn comics are suitable for kids, from middle grade or even earlier, and I think they are a lot of fun for grown-ups too. It is also worth noting that I don't think it really matters whether you have read any of the other volumes of this series - I think you could (and should) just pick up any volume and enjoy it.

My 7 year old absolutely loves these books. She will read them over and over and own the whole set. This one has already been added to our collection.
