Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for July 23, 2015
Transcript:
Phoebe: Could you help me finish my summer reading MAGICALLY? Like, cast a speed-reading spell on me? Marigold: There is already enough magic involved. After all... READING IS MAGIC. Phoebe: If I want platitudes, I'll ask a library poster. Marigold: No, really. Carelessly mix reading with other magic and... POW! You are a bug or something.

But I want to see Phoebe become an Or some thing.Or Zap her in to the book and go on Story book adventures!
IDK every time I have an idea for the story it’s far grander an adventure then what we get. Im always thinking Typical 80s kids cartoon the likes of Muppet Babbie or Smurfs or Digimon and Dana always goes for cute, adorable slice of life with a bit of intelligent commentary.

And thank you, Dana, for the plug for reading. If magic is that which is beyond our ken, the reading is definitely a form of magic in that it brings into our world all things beyond our own ken.

Reading doesn’t make you a bug, at least not right away. First you become a bookWORM. It takes time to progress from that larval stage to becoming a real BUG.
