Series: Phoebe and Her Unicorn #9

BLURB: The NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING series Phoebe and Her Unicorn is back with all-new sparkling tales of best friendship. Whether they're visiting Camp Shimmerhorn or fitting unicorn hooves for bowling shoes, Phoebe and Marigold find magic in every moment. A unicorn in bowling shoes is quite a STRIKE-ing sight. But for nine-year-old Phoebe Howell, it’s just another fun outing with her best friend, the illustrious unicorn Marigold Heavenly Nostrils.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Cute n' Fluffy.

I think Phoebe and Marigold adventures in everyday school and summer camp are kind of addictive because I had no intention of going for another of this books -again in form of comic strips and other longer short stories with the summer camp- and here I am.

This book is clearly intended for classroom discusion about the changes bringed for modern technology, the virtue of practicing for piano lessons (or rather for the importance of practicing to get better without magical short cuts), about gender roles, and that internet is nice but be careful with the things you post about other people (or the badness of simply bullying when you hurt other people feelings).

Because I'm a nerd too, Phoebe, I enjoy the little 'waxing nostalgic' of Phoebe's parents about the old days with dial-internet; and the joke about the Pong.

Also, the summer camp experience it's about how you feel if you were the different one in front of other people.

The art is nice . And there is a glossary at the end .

But... for *me* the humor is lacking. Thought you still can pull some of my strings ;P

Esta es una serie que empece a leer hace algun tiempo, para niños y tal vez más para niñas, aunque esos eria ir marcando diferencias entre generos y eso estaria mal ;P

No es necesario leer los anteriores, es mucha fantasia con unicornios, trolls, dragones que dan dulce y otros seres magicos insertados en medio del dia a dia de padres, tareas, escuela, internet, libros, y hasta ciber acoso.

Simpatica, pero yo no soy el publico más adecuado.
