REVIEW: Unicorn on a Roll: Another Phoebe and Her Unicorn Adventure (graphic novel) by Dana Simpson

Unicorn on a Roll is the second collection of Phoebe and Her Unicorn comics. I bought my copy new.

Review:

Christmas is coming up, and, after much deliberation, Phoebe finally figures out the perfect present to give Marigold. Then we've got Valentine's Day - Phoebe has a bit of a crush on her spelling partner, Max, and she's surprised when she learns Marigold has a crush of her own, on a unicorn named Lord Splendid Humility. Phoebe meets even more unicorns when she's invited to Lord Splendid Humility's birthday party.

I really enjoyed the first volume, but I think this series truly clicked for me during the Christmas portion of this volume. It showed a lot of heart and demonstrated that Phoebe and Marigold have had an impact on each other.

I loved the introduction of Lord Splendid Humility and getting to see other unicorns.

All in all, this was a great second volume.

Extras:

An introduction by Lauren Faust, a guide to drawing facial expressions, instructions for making sparkly unicorn poop cookies, and instructions for making an origami horse face.
