Phoebe and Her Unicorn (Volume 1) Paperback – Illustrated, 11 Sept. 2014

This comic has lots of pages, much thicker than I was expecting. Nice quality. Pleased with purchase

got this book for a 7-year-old. needs help with some of the words, also some ideas/ jokes need explaining but all safe for a younger reader. great and funny. lovely to see a cartoon style book with colourful illustrations.

My newly 7 year old is enjoying this but I would say it is even more suitable for a slightly older reader as well to 'get' everything that's being said

My (not so little any more) girl loves these. Doesn't need to be encouraged to read it!

I bought this for my kids, 7 and 9, and it is good, but it isn't what I expected.The characters are adorable, and the humour is, I think, too-mature-for-kids in a good way. When I was a child a lot of humour in Asterix, Peanuts etc. went over my head, but that doesn't mean that I didn't enjoy it and it doesn't mean that it wasn't good for me. Getting the hang of the rhythms of grown up humour is your first step in getting it. So I don't care whether my kids laugh at the wrong thing or don't laugh at all, it is improving for them to read such complicated vocabulary and subtle jokes.I didn't buy it, obviously, for it to be improving. I thought it would be a graphic novel, like a Raina Telgemeier or Lumberjanes, and it is a comic strip, like Garfield or Peanuts. So there's a joke on each page, and while some episodes run for several strips, each strip is self contained, shoots for a joke, concludes with a joke. There's no progression or story or growth. That's what it's supposed to be - it isn't a criticism - but if people are buying it for the same reason as me, and didn't read all the details, that's why I'm making this point.The actual reaction of my kids is they really love it, the 7 year old prefers a longer story, the 9 year old likes that she doesn't have to concentrate too hard and can just dip in and laugh at it. It isn't what they're used to, but we'll buy the next one.

Bought yesterday for my daughter’s 8th birthday, she started reading in the evening and finished by night before bed. She loved it and started reading it again in the morning and finished by 10 am. She desperately wanted to read next one. So, ordered the volume 2 today....

The quality is amazing!! And the book is bigger then you think it to be with over 200 pages!!The colours and paper are all bright and easy to read

My children are brought up on comics and are hard to impress. My six year old just took this upstairs to bed and I have never heard her laugh so much! Sounds hilarious! No doubt my 8 year old will be after it too! Can't wait to dive in myself.

Phoebe and her Unicorn is an ongoing newspaper comic, so this is just the first in a long series of books that is still being written, the latest as of this comment is volume #17 with volume #18 up for preorder.When I first stumbled upon this comic strip I immediately fell in love with the characters. Phoebe is a girl with a delightfully weird and quirky personality, who becomes best friends with the unicorn Marigold Heavenly Nostrils through chance, and the comic is mostly about their quite believable and wholesome friendship, as well as the wacky hijinks that result from Marigold introducing Phoebe to some facet of unicorn culture.Other notable characters include Dakota--the stereotypical popular girl who is secretly kind of nice beneath her callous exterior, Prunella the Queen of the Goblins, Lord Splendid Humility--a unicorn who is so humble that he hides in bushes and goes through ridiculous lengths to conceal his splendidness, Todd--a miniature dragon that breathes candy and speaks only in 'Rar's, Phoebe's parents, and Max.I can't recommend this book series enough. Although it's targeted mainly toward young girls, I (an adult man) personally found it to be hilarious, wholesome, imaginative, and heartwarming, and the other members of my family I have introduced to it have all agreed. The only thing I suggest is, you should probably spring for the boxed set of volumes 1-4, I went through the first book in like, an hour and had to go back on amazon right away to get the next few of them.

I like the relationship because it seems silly and it seems fun and there’s a punchline but what I really like about the relationship… Is about how they sometimes have each other’s back and act like friends would do. Slumber parties popcorn with a movie silly frilly skirts doing dramatic intros in class well… that’s not really what friends do jumping in the window saying tada and being friends with a unicorn but they’re still friends and I love it!

Gran descubrimiento. Mi hija de 8 años os lo recomienda ;) Está como loca por recibir el resto de la serie. No es de extrañar. Adora los unicornios y los cómics.

An awesome collection! My 6 years old loves reading and re-reading the comics. The characters are funny, sassy and empowering. The style is sophisticated and sarcastic but also engaging and amusing for readers.

Hace un tiempo descubrí este comic en una página web y me encantó, cuando me enteré que se publicó una edición física en formato libro sabía que comprarlo y fue decisión correcta, es divertidísimo tanto como Marigold y Phoebe.A pesar de su apariencia de ser un libro para niñas no lo es, es un webcomic y fue hecho para público de todas las edades y géneros con una comprensión lectora un poco mayor a un niño ya que a pesar ser completamente blanco y puro su humor está basado en la inteligencia y el sarcasmo.Una pieza más que tienes que descubrir, puedes leer el comic en linea completamente gratis para darte una idea de como es y si te gusta, creeme, amarás la versión impresa.PD: Ordenalo en importación me salio mas barato y me llego antes de lo previsto.PD2: Si, el libro en su totalidad de 215 paginas esta en Ingles, asi que tienes que saber el idioma.
