"Phoebe is a remarkably real little girl, as bright and imaginative as Bill Watterson's Calvin, as touchingly vulnerable as Charles Schulz's Charlie Brown. And if these strike you as big names to conjure with, I'll go further and state for the record that in my opinion Heavenly Nostrils is nothing less than the best comic strip to come along since Calvin and Hobbes. Simpson is that good, and that original."
--Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn, from the Introduction
A boy and his dog . . . a girl and her . . . unicorn?
It all started when a girl named Phoebe skipped a rock across a pond and accidentally hit a unicorn in the face. Improbably, this led to Phoebe being granted one wish, and she used it to make the unicorn, Marigold Heavenly Nostrils, her obligational best friend. But can a vain mythical beast and a nine-year-old daydreamer really forge a connection? Indeed they can, and that's how Phoebe and Her Unicorn unfolds.
This beautifully drawn comic strip follows the unlikely friendship between a somewhat awkward girl and the magic unicorn who gradually shows her just how special she really is. Through hilarious adventures where Phoebe gets to bask in Marigold's "awesomeness," the friends also come to acknowledge that they had been lonely before they met and truly appreciate the bond they now share.

From School Library Journal
Gr 4 Up—Simpson's syndicated comics featuring the unlikely friendship between an awkward young girl and an arrogant unicorn are published as one volume for the first time. Phoebe, a somewhat precocious nine-year-old, releases a unicorn held captive underwater by a magic spell. In exchange for her freedom, the unicorn Marigold Heavenly Nostrils grants Phoebe one wish, namely that the two will become best friends. Although imaginary childhood friends such as Hobbes and Winnie-the-Pooh are common, Simpson's take on the subject is unique and witty. Marigold is not invisible but often goes unnoticed, protected by a "shield of boringness." Simple line drawings bring the characters to life without detracting from the clever dialogue. Phoebe's face is particularly expressive, mirroring her wonderment and frustration with her recently acquired friend. The intended audience for this work is unclear. While the protagonist expresses her longing for a best friend, delights in sleepovers, and is enchanted with the mythical creature, there is an underlying sarcastic and mocking tone throughout. Facetious one-liners, such as "Terrible Vortex of Meh" and "summon your inner unicorn" may appeal to a more sophisticated audience. Reference to bathroom humor and several variations on "stupid," such as "stupidbutt" are obviously aimed at younger readers. Still, those looking for something to read after Jenni Holm's "Babymouse" books (Random), might want to take a look.—Barbara M. Moon, Suffolk Cooperative Library System, Bellport, NY
Review
"Clean lines, clearly delineated panels and sparse background detail keep readers focused on the characters, driving the story forward without distraction. Recommend this to fans of Jennifer and Matthew Holm’s Babymouse series and Frank Cammuso’s Salem Hyde...A sweet, spun-sugar confection just right for unicorn fans." (Kirkus Reviews)
“… hilarious, sweet, and unsentimental…” (Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing)
"Readers in need of a good friend can curl up with this title. They won’t be sorry." (Esther Keller, School Library Journal's Good Comics for Kids blog)
"…unique and witty…Simple line drawings bring the characters to life without detracting from the clever dialogue…those looking for something to read after Jenni Holm’s 'Babymouse' books might want to take a look.” (Barbara Moon, School Library Journal)
"I can’t wait to share this collection with my students." (Travis Jonker, School Library Journal’s “100 Scope Notes” blog)
"...the friendship between [Phoebe and Marigold] is impeccably developed…Rich humor lies in the illustrations…" (The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books)
“This is a really cute book that is cleverly written…very relatable to girls ages 8 to 12…” (Time to Play Magazine)
Named one of the "Best Feminist Books for Young Readers" list, "...a breathtakingly refreshing look at friendships and school age struggles." (Brandi Bailey, BookRiot)
“Situational humor will appeal to all regardless of gender. The volume contains chuckles and pop references that will entertain the most skeptical adults as well as the target audience.” (Library Media Connection)

About the Author
Dana Claire Simpson grew up in Gig Harbor, Washington, drawing the entire time. She eventually graduated from The Evergreen State College, despite having spent all her time drawing, and not always for credit.
Attempts at doing real work along the way are hardly worth mentioning; the relevant fact is that, from 1998 to 2008, she drew the internet comic strip Ozy and Millie. After winning the Amazon-sponsored Comic Strip Superstar Contest in 2009, Andrews McMeel Syndication signed her to a development deal for Heavenly Nostrils, which was later renamed Phoebe and Her Unicorn.
She currently lives in Santa Barbara, California, with her tech genius husband and her fairly stupid cat.

Absolutely brilliant - very popular with both boys and girls in our family
By Dave
I bought this for my 7 year old niece, who really enjoys it, but the humor is just a tad above her level (but it's good stuff for encouraging discussion). However it has quickly become a favorite of her brother (age 10) and my 9 and 8 year old sons (so much so that they'll stay up late reading it together with a flashlight - laughing the whole time). They've moved on to the second book and can't wait for the third one to come out. I've read a bit of it as well and it's absolutely brilliant.
Like all really good "kid books" some of the writing is above the targeted level. In my experience kids thrive on that and it encourages them to stretch. It certainly helps that it's really, really funny. I would absolutely encourage you to buy this for any girl or boy in your life who is reading at or above the 4th grade level. Even teens would enjoy this - it's just that good.

My 8 year old looks forward to reading now!
By Nicki B
I love comics (The Best, hands down, truly everyone friendly comic is Breaking Cat News!!)
and I love sharing the good ones with my kids and family. Phoebe and Her Unicorn are at the top of our list.
My second daughter is what I would call a "reluctant reader." She just feels "meh" about reading. I decided to get this for her because it is a great comic about a little girl and her unicorn. (I read it myself, daily, on my GoComics App.)
I feel like there should be more out there like this. I mean, boys have Calvin and Hobbes, Charlie Brown and Snoopy, Red and Rover, etc. What about little girls? I don't mean girls can't like or read boy centric comics, but as a girl myself, we start to feel a little left out after awhile!
Back to this review: Daughter is 8, going on middle age. She is snarky and sarcastic, and loves to come up with her own jokes. I knew this was right up her alley.
I presented this to her as a "just because" gift, and she immediately devoured it. She is now reading Phoebe and Her Unicorn a second time through. Looks like we will be purchasing the rest!
For the parents who say that Phoebe is too "mean" or sarcastic: I say, you should listen to kids talk to each other. Seriously. Phoebe sounds and acts like a normal little girl. And don't pretend like you were never one to think low of your parents. All children of every generation thinks they know better than their parents! Lighten Up!! It's a comic strip for goodness sake!
My daughter is now interested in reading other books, including the Ramona series now. I have Dana Simpson to thank for turning my little girl into a reader, for helping fuel her imagination, and for giving her relatable characters!

A bit dry and sarcastic, but that is my kind of humor
By StubbornBrunette
From the sample pages online I decided to give this book a try because dry sarcasm is definitely my kind of humor and I figured it would be a book that my young daughter and I could enjoy together. Some of the jokes are over her head (she's almost 5) but she enjoys the pictures and the overall tone and humor of the stories. I grew up with Calvin and Hobbes and there is a reminiscent feel to how this comic is written that I would compare to it. I think you have to have the right sense of humor to fully enjoy these books, but if you do you will appreciate them and want to reread them again.
