Back to school we go: astride a unicorn!

Okay, I just want to go to work on the back of a unicorn, but Phoebe and Her Unicorn is a pretty close second! Seriously, if you're headed back to school to learn, to teach, or if the end of August just gets you thinking about school supplies, Phoebe is for you!

 This is the book that introduces Phoebe and Marigold Heavenly Nostrils. Phoebe saves Marigold from her reflection by inadvertently skipping a stone into her face. Granted a wish, she asks for Marigold to become her best friend and their adventures begin. As with Calvin and Hobbes, Phoebe and Marigold take the stage as mischievous kid and wiser sidekick (Marigold is even old enough to remember vinyl!) but there are other characters worth exploring, too: Phoebe's popular girl rival, Dakota (didn't we all have a Dakota?), her friendly boy Max, and her parents. When you're out perusing Walmart's 25 cent notebooks, get yourself some Phoebe, too!

Unicorn on a Roll continues the adventures of Phoebe and her four legged friend - complete with roller skates! If it would result in the fun, hilarity, and candy dragon antics of these two, I should probably skip more stones!
