I like the series Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson. Now, I don’t like every book or even every “joke” but I like how Phoebe is a loveable (frankly) dork, that is way relatable, even as an adult. When I found an online reader copy for book 19, Unicorn Crush: Another Phoebe and Her Unicorn Adventure I was intrigued. It had been awhile since I had read one, so figured it was time. Now, there isn’t anything really “new” to talk about, Phoebe is a kid doing kid things such as school, friendship, bullies, parents, riding a talking unicorn. And this time is no different. We deal with the idea of therapy and it being private, some miscommunications, and a school debate against one of Phoebe’s best friends, but the results getting there are the same for each volume: our girl might not be the smartest cookie in the jar, but she tries and in her own way she is a genius. The artwork is simple and fun. It has a way of becoming the center of things without actually taking over. You should probably read these books in order or at least enough to know who some of the people are (especially since there is a reference to a previous story arc) but if you’ve read at least a handful, you should be good. Dana Simpson knows how to turn a tail… um tale. 
Now if you cannot wait until May 2024 and are looking for a silly story, you can try The First Cat in Space series by Mac Barnett and Shawn Harris. It is nothing like Phoebe, there are no unicorns, or spunky girls, but there is fantasy. Okay, so maybe they are not really the same reader focus, but it is a fun (so far two, planned third, series). The first book deals with Earth sending a cat to outer space where it saves the day and the moon from all sorts of stuff. Book two The First Cat in Space and the Soup of Doom, actually focuses more on the other characters and not the Cat so much. But you have your wacky adventures, the crazy Queen, the not-really-bright (and some more likable than others) court back home, and the Cat does have its moments to shine. In some ways, I like volume two better than one, as the story felt more familiar and had an easier flow. However, book one, with its slightly more unfamiliar story did pack enough of a punch for me to go onto book two. There is a planned third book, but I might not read it. I think my adult self has figured out enough to know who is a recommended reader and who isn’t. Still the ending made a point that the kid me wants to learn more about.
This paragraph is just to fill out the three paragraph requirement.
