Life is never boring when your best friend is a unicorn The latest installment in this bestselling series is full of mischief, magic and adventure mash, as well as an important reminder to always stay true to yourself. School's out, so Phoebe and her unicorn best friend, Marigold Heavenly Nostrils, have the entire summer to play games, visit the pool, and even go camping. Unicorn horns are excellent utensils for roasting things over the campfire, too, even if Marigold prefers toasted apples to s'mores. While exploring in the woods, Phoebe and friends meet a unicorn named Alabaster, who uses a special video game console that's powered by plants. Throughout her summer adventures, Phoebe learns that being cool isn't all it's cracked up to be, and that it's much better to be your true self. It's all part of the unforgettable experience of Camping with Unicorns.

Love this series

ANOTHER PHOEBE AND HER UNICORN!!! So excited :) I love these... you know I do and this one is no exception to that rule. Phoebe is growing up and as she does we have new adventures with Marigold the unicorn. In this installment they are ending the school year, going camping, trying to be friends with Dakota, and beginning a new school year. Phoebe is still her energetic self and spends most of her time with Marigold, but we also have some time with Todd the dragon, the goblins, Dakota, and Max. There are games played in human and unicorn and their camping trip was made magical. As with the other books in this series, you can probably pick any of them up and start reading, Phoebe and Marigold fill you in on what is happening. The panels are short and easy to follow and very colorful, making them a great read for younger audiences whose attention-spans might be shorter. I love this series, they are laugh-out-loud plots and situations and Marigold and Phoebe are growing together and it is wonderful to see their changes and growth but also how they stay the same and the best-est of friends.

Fun Read

What do you do when school is out? You hang out with your best friend, of course. Phoebe’s best friend just so happens to be a unicorn which makes for a very interesting summer. Marigold Heavenly Nostrils makes everything fun and helps Phoebe to branch out and do different things. They play games, go to the pool and even take a camping trip. And the woods contain a surprise for both of them: another unicorn by the name of Alabaster. Alabaster is pretty cool. He has a special video game console that is powered by plants. How cool is that! This latest installment in the series contains tons of fun, mischief and magic. This is a fun read, and the illustrations are colorful. Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book.

A Lilac Wolf and Stuff Review

**I was given a digital review copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.** Phoebe and her Unicorn are back. Another year, and yes, they go camping. There are old friends and new ones. And it's still just as funny.

Just wonderful!

This was one of the most amusing children's books I have read in quite some time. I am very excited to share this series with my daughter! Phoebe and Marigold make a wonderful pair of friends, and through their adventures many lessons can be discovered. I absolutely loved this title and very much look forward to getting my hands on the others in the series!

Phoebe and Marigold at it again

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher I was able to read this book in exchange for an honest review. *** Camping With Unicorns is the 11th book in the Phoebe and Her Unicorn series and the comic strips are just as fun as I remember previous volumes being. School is out for the summer and Phoebe goes on new adventures with her best unicorn friend Marigold. You see a lot of familiar faces and some new ones as well. I feel like the humor has kicked up a notch to. In the past I’ve thought it a cute comic and something definitely worth suggesting to reluctant readers, and just readers who need a story about a girl who gains confidence in herself with her unicorn friend at her side bolstering her, but this volume felt like the humor was definitely intended for adults as much as kids. I felt like I got more of a kick out of it than usual at least. I love Phoebe and Marigold so much, there friendship is wonderful and shows such great development between the two of them.

More Dakota, a Magical Loophole & New Characters

It’s time to hang out with Marigold Heavenly Nostrils’ favourite unicorn (herself, of course!) and her human, Phoebe. Once again it’s summer vacation and there’s so much to do, once Phoebe winds down from school. Phoebe attempts to teacher Marigold how to lie. Max and Phoebe play hide and seek, and Phoebe and Marigold play some games where everyone wins. Well, sometimes. Meanwhile Dakota is enjoying all of the perks of being a goblin princess, from the tiara to the luxury of being transported upon her “throne thingy”, complete with cup holders. After spending so long being frenemies, Phoebe and Dakota decide it’s time to reboot their friendship. I wholeheartedly approve of this development because it means more Dakota! I love Dakota! Phoebe and Max’s families go camping together. When they’re not roasting marshmallows around the campfire or attracting the local wildlife, Phoebe, Max and Marigold enjoy nature (and meet a unicorn who is roughing it). I learned that unicorns look even more adorable when they’re wearing swimsuits and discovered why schools are much more interesting during summer vacation. I tagged along with Marigold as she entertained herself while Phoebe was at school and decided Marigold’s favourite magical loophole is now one of my own favourites. Phoebe’s own loophole was a familiar one. When I realised this collection would mostly take place during summer vacation I expected to see a rehash of previous summers with Phoebe and Marigold. I’m not sure if it’s just because I needed a unicorn fix but this collection felt really fresh. New characters were introduced and I learned something new about some I’ve known since the first collection. I hope I don’t have to wait too long for my next magical unicorn fix. I’ll definitely be rereading this collection and most likely revisiting some earlier ones in the meantime. Thank you so much to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the opportunity to read this graphic novel.
