Gr 3-5--Phoebe and Marigold Heavenly Nostrils navigate Thanksgiving, Christmas, the common cold, and summer camp in this new collection of the comic strip. Each one-page strip is comprised of three or four panels and stands alone: all end with a clear punch line. However, readers may comfortably read the book straight through for a continual narrative. Children will enjoy the simple layout and full-color cartoon illustrations, particularly those of eternally elegant Marigold. The humor and vocabulary are quite sophisticated; a glossary defines words such as context and prescient. Many of the strips end with a dry comment on vanity, friendship, or, at one point, copyright. Even if these ideas or references don't completely sink in, children should appreciate encounters with a goblin and a lake monster and the gags inherent in the contrast between down-to-earth Phoebe and her unlikely best friend, a magnificent, vain, loving unicorn. There are lots of sparkles, too. VERDICT Appealing art, strong characters, and sharp humor make this a volume both children and parents will read with pleasure.--Lisa Goldstein, Brooklyn Public Library

Dana Simpson
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.

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 spouse and her fairly stupid cat.
