Phoebe And Her Unicorn Av Dana Simpson

<B>The first book in this beautifully drawn comic strip series follows the unlikely friendship between a somewhat awkward girl and the magical unicorn who gradually shows her just how special she really is. Over a series of hilarious adventures, Phoebe learns to bask in the awesomeness of Marigold and discover just how extraordinary it is to have a unicorn for a best friend.</B><BR><BR>"Phoebe is a remarkably real little girl, as bright and imaginative as Bill Watterson's <I>Calvin</I>, as touchingly vulnerable as Charles Schulz's <I>Charlie Brown</I>.<I>..</I>Simpson is that good, and that original." —Peter S. Beagle, author of <I>The Last Unicorn</I><BR><BR> It all started when a girl named Phoebe skipped a rock across a pond and accidentally hit a unicorn in the face. Improbably, this led to Phoebe being granted one wish, and she used it to make the unicorn, Marigold Heavenly Nostrils, her obligational best friend. But can a vain mythical beast and a nine-year-old daydreamer really forge a connection? Indeed they can, and that's how <I>Phoebe and Her Unicorn</I> unfolds. Over time, Phoebe and Marigold acknowledge that they had been lonely before they met and come to truly appreciate the bond they now share.
