"The book is a perfect mix of ongoing stories...I plainly love this strip, and I love the books." (Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing) "...charming...the comparison to Calvin and Hobbes is apt-it has a joke-a-day format with recurring themes and gentle, winning humor that often results in guffaws. Also like Calvin and Hobbes, there is a thin veneer of snarky cynicism that will keep older readers interested in the stories well beyond most children's magical unicorn-loving phase." (Booklist) Unicorn and snark fans rejoice..." (The Bulletin of The Center for Children's Books) Named one of "14 Notable Chapter Books for Summer Reading" list; "My kids and I adore these characters and love this new book. It's one we'll read over and over again." (Melissa Taylor, Imagination Soup) "This is an excellent addition to a family-friendly home library. Adults and kids alike will love this warm and witty book. Buy it!" (Kala Kumar, Examiner.com)
Dana Claire Simpson grew up in Gig Harbor, Washington, drawing the entire time. She eventually graduated from the Evergreen State College, despite having spent all her time drawing, and not always for credit. Attempts at doing real work along the way are hardly worth mentioning; the relevant fact is that, from 1998 to 2008, she drew the internet comic strip Ozy and Millie. After winning the Amazon-sponsored Comic Strip Superstar contest in 2009, Universal Uclick signed her to a development deal for Heavenly Nostrils.
