How to Read Phoebe and Her Unicorn
Read the 23 published collections in numbered order, beginning with Phoebe and Her Unicorn. Individual comic strips and short arcs are easy to sample, but the order gradually introduces friends, relatives, magical creatures, and changes in Phoebe and Marigold's relationship.
Two-in-one collections and boxed sets repackage existing volumes and should not be counted as new adventures. Today I'll Be a Unicorn is a short board-book companion for younger children.

For parents
What Parents Should Know
The series is warm and low in peril. It explores friendship, feeling different, popularity, crushes, jealousy, confidence, family friction, and school stress, with fantasy creatures and misfiring spells providing most of the chaos.
The books celebrate individuality and an intense girl-unicorn friendship while allowing both characters to be flawed. Vocabulary and dry jokes can be sophisticated, but the comic-strip structure lets readers pause and enjoy a few pages at a time.
