I love the adventures of Phoebe and Marigold Heavenly Nostrils so of course I love this new outing for them. It's such a clever series that still remains accessible to kids of all ages.

Even without having read the other books in this series, I really enjoyed this one! Works well as a standalone. Loved that the heroine has complexity. I read it alone but it would be a fun family read. Laughed out loud a lot.

My students absolutely love the Phoebe and Her Unicorn series, and after reading this book, I know they'll be just as satisfied with this next part of the story. This book is all kinds of silly, sparkly fun.

“Camping with Unicorns” book eleven in the series, courtesy of Netgalley. As a premise, the whole series is adorable. Centring around a human girl and her unicorn best friend, the book shows, in comic book form, a series of vignettes and adventures. Brightly coloured panels and childlike wonder fill every page, making this a great read for anyone who is young, or young at heart

'Camping with Unicorns' by Dana Simpson is the 11th collection of cartoons about a young girl and her vain but friendly unicorn.

School is out, which means Phoebe is free to play with her unicorn friend, Marigold Heavenly Nostrils. She also has time to ponder the new events with her frenemy Dakota. There is camping to do, and we learn that unicorn horns are good for roasting marshmallows and apples. Dakota is adjusting to being queen of the goblins. Phoebe learns that unicorn money can't be used to buy ice cream. All too soon, summer is over and Phoebe heads back to school.

I've enjoyed every one of these collections I've read. The humor has stayed fresh and the characters are fun to read about. The art is consistently fun to look at.

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. Once again, Simpson has FAILED... to disappoint! This book is as incredible as the first, better even, 11 books in and I am still a huge fan! We are getting the same excellent introduction to new vocabulary words, fun artwork, vibrant coloring, and an incredibly witty school year with Phoebe! I really feel like Simpson could make another 50 of these and still have an amazing adventure each and every time. The adult in me wants to see what phoebe grows into, but the kid in me wants phoebe to be available to all kids as long as their are kids! Outstanding work, I can’t wait to reopen the library so we can have our physical copy and I can share, share, share!

Heavenly nostrils book eleven is another ace in the author's wonderful series that gets the kids reading. The adventures are a bit broken-up but still lovely. And it's nice to see that Marigold is not as vain as she has been in other books. As always there are great one off Comics that are super fun to post to Litsy and a heart that I hope all children still have in finding themselves. I eagerly await the next installment.

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.

Here's yet another collection of comics featuring Phoebe and her unicorn friend, Marigold. Much of this book is focussed on the summer holidays (unlike many of the others, which feature the school months more heavily).

While this isn't my favourite, it's still entertaining. Fans of the series are sure to be engaged.

Every Phoebe and Her Unicorn book is more fun and delightful than the last. You can feel how much Dana Simpson loves her characters, and enjoys putting them in different scenarios. Who else would think to put a unicorn in a tire swing and find out what happens?

In this installment, Phoebe even gains a touch of maturity and makes tentative amends with her archnemesis, Dakota. Considering they are both friends with magical creatures, it only makes sense. From fashion choices to walking on the ceiling, there's everything to love about this book and this series.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This is a great graphic novel book for children about a unicorn and her best friend who is a girl called Pheoby. This book was quite funny in places and had some great little stories within it.
The illustrations were simple but effective too.

This series is one of my third grade daughter's favorites so it was going to be hard for it to disappoint - and it didn't. Another wonderful addition to Phoebe and Her Unicorn!

Thank you to NetGalley for my copy in exchange for my honest review.

I love returning to Phoebe and Marigold's world. This book is perfect escapism for everyone as you follow Phoebe and her unicorn on their adventures. Marigold is the perfect amount of narcism and sassiness which is still endearing and the illustrations are vibrant and inviting. Can't wait to see what the get up to next.

Another great installment in the Phoebe and her Unicorn series - it is an auto-read and an auto-buy. These can be read out of order*

My daughter absolutely loves this series. It is fun and so brightly colored. She was so excited to jump into the newest Unicorn book. I can't believe there are already 11!

I loved catching up with Phoebe and Marigold. I absolutely love Marigolds wit. It was great seeing her interactions with her parents. I also loved the new take on Dakota

Another great book in an amazing series. My daughter loves camping so this book really grabbed her attention. My daughter loved catching up with Phoebe and Marigold and is anxiously awaiting the next book.

Once again Dana Simpson nails it! Phoebe and Her Unicorn series is so much fun to read in either one sitting or spread out. My only complaint is the comics to split up the comic. That has always seems a bit odd to me, like just finish one strip before teh next one. But that is such a minor complaint and does not detract from the story itself.

In book 11 Phoebe and Dakota are starting off a friendship, summer break hits, a family camping trip ensues and things go from there.

A collection of comic adventures with Phoebe and Marigold Heavenly Nostrils.

Another great collection of Phoebe and Her Unicorn comics. I particularly liked the series on how old Marigold is and the Unicorn version of haunted houses. Phoebe and Marigold fans will not be disappointed, and those who haven’t met them before are in for a treat. This is an automatic order for our libraries. The students would probably riot if we didn’t have all the Phoebe and Her Unicorn books available.

I read this book with my 8 years old sister and she loved this book. The colours were bright and fun. My sister liked the caping thing in this book. The graphics were so interesting. Overall, a fun read for kids
