Unicorn of Many Hats

Written by: Dana Simpson

First line: "It is insulting when you summon me with that dog whistle."

Why you should read this book: In this edition of Phoebe and Her Unicorn, we see the repeat of many familiar tropes (Phoebe enjoys summer, Phoebe and Dakota fight but then find some common frenemy ground, Marigold enjoys her own reflection to a dangerous level, Marigold offers opinions on sparkliness) along with some new arcs: Marigold babysits, Marigold becomes friendly with Phoebe's parents, Phoebe visits Marigold's house for the first time. Also, Todd the Candy Dragon throws a Halloween party, Dakota is friends with the Goblin Queen, and a kid Phoebe doesn't even know gets her some perfect Secret Santa gifts. Fun for readers of all ages.

Why you shouldn't read this book: Marigold forges Phoebe's mom's signature on a field trip permission slip, and goodness knows we can't have kids figuring that stuff out.
