My Never Ending List

Dory Fantasmagory

Dory Fantasmagory - Abby Hanlon
This was a funny and creative story that had me laughing and smiling as I read. The story is about a little girl whose siblings are tired of having her around. Dory is a little girl with quite an imagination who likes to talk. Whether she is making a comment or asking a question, Dory’s siblings feel that Dory is a baby and that she is always bothering them. Dory feels that her siblings never want to play with her so Dory invents her own imaginary stories and people who are quite happy to have her around.
 
There was so much to like about this novel from the great illustrations, the mixture of normal text and graphic text, the sibling rivalry, Dora’s behavior and Mrs. Gobble Gracker. The novel is set up into six separate chapters so this would be a great read-aloud novel. This is the first novel in a series. I’m anxious now to read more novels about Dory to see what else she is up to.
