Move over, Junie B. Jones and Ivy & Bean! Here comes a lovably energetic little sister with a BIG personality—and an imagination to match!

As the youngest in her family, Dory really wants attention, and more than anything she wants her brother and sister to play with her. But she’s too much of a baby for them, so she’s left to her own devices—including her wild imagination and untiring energy. Her siblings may roll their eyes at her childish games, but Dory has lots of things to do: outsmarting the monsters all over the house, escaping from prison (aka time-out), and exacting revenge on her sister’s favorite doll. And when they really need her, daring Dory will prove her bravery, and finally get exactly what she has been looking for.

With plenty of pictures bursting with charm and character, this hilarious book about an irresistible rascal is the new must-read for the chapter book set.

Review

Praise for Dory Fantasmagory

* "This inventive child is irresistible...Charming, funny and true to life." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

* "Hanlon effectively uses many childlike pencil drawings and word balloons interspersed with a good mix of short and long sentences in brief, episodic chapters full of Dory’s hilarious adventures…readers will laugh at her entertaining antics.” – SLJ, starred review

“ Time spent with Dory is time well spent.”– PW , starred review

"Perfection of tone, plot, pacing, art, you name it. Author Abby Hanlon has taken a universal childhood desire (the wish of the younger sibling for the older ones to play with them) and turned it into a magnificent epic fantasy complete with sharp-toothed robbers, bearded fairy godmothers, and what may be the most realistic 6-year-old you’ll ever meet on a page. In a word, fantastico." —SLJ Fuse 8 Blog

"“This book has everything going for it: A throbbing heart at its center …humor in spades and charm to spare...this is one of the best children’s books I’ve seen all year.”—Kirkus Reviews blog

About the Author

Adorable story, perfect for my nine year old

Adorable story, perfect for my nine year old
Adorable story, perfect for my nine year old. She has read it cover to cover several times. Dory is the baby of the family with a HUGE imagination. She has a fairy god-father named Mr. Nuggy and an imaginary friend named Mary who often leads her astray (like taking off her shoes and losing them at school). Dory must fight the bad witch named Mrs. Gobble Gracker. My favorite part is when Dory and Mr. Nuggy attempt to make a poison soup to deal with Mrs. Gobble Gracker (See pic below). (It actually backfires and she loves it.) The illustrations are like a child's pencil drawing and add to the charm, as though Dory drew them to tell her story. Many drawings make this a quick and easy read. My daughter has read great excerpts aloud and even I found them hysterically funny.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Was So Funny!
Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2020
Verified Purchase
(This review was written by a child.)

I read Dory Fantasmagory and it is very funny. Dory is very imaginative and her brother and sister get very annoyed with her. She has a lot of imaginary friends (but some aren't exactly friends!).
My favorite part of Dory Fantasmagory is after Dory's brother and sister tell her about Mrs. Gobble Gracker (who they made up, but they didn't tell Dory that). They made up Mrs. Gobble Gracker so Dory would stop acting so babyish. But that didn't work at all!
For example, she asks a bunch of silly questions like: Is she a vegetarian? Does she vote? Does she like ice cream? Does she like anything? Does she wear a long black cape? Does she have a cell phone? DOES SHE EAT RUBBER CHICKENS?
The rubber chickens question was my favorite. It's so funny!
I think you'll really like Dory Fantasmagory. I've read it so many times, some of the pages ripped!

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute looking book
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2015
Verified Purchase
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my 5 year old niece. A book? Yeah, I'm that kind of aunt. To be fair she looked (somewhat) excited when opening her present and saw PJs and this book. She turned to her mother and said she couldn't wait to read it with her. So bonus points with my sister for presenting (<---did you see what I did there) an opportunity for some mother/daughter bonding! I can't speak to the story itself as I was strictly motivated in purchasing this book because of price and the cuteness factor of the little girl on the cover. Freckles and a bit of crazy hair what's not to like!

Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2019

I bought this book and the next two in series, for my niece's 7th birthday (she loves Junie B. and her mom already read the whole collection to her). Anyway, I decided to sample this because her bday was a few weeks away. Read it to my 5 and 3 year old and they (we) absolutely loved it! The many pictures were great as this was their first chapter book. I can't believe how it grabbed and kept their attention- we finished in just one day! This book was so funny! We will be getting the rest of the books for our home library and I plan to read them in my kindergarten classroom as well.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 18, 2019

Maybe because it's American - well, be the first to jump on this trend. This series was my daughter's best book discovery in the last couple of years. I order the first two books in bulk and they are my go-to birthday present for all of her classmates' birthdays (she just turned 7). They're funny, quirky, unpredictable and did I mention funny? There are lots of pictures for beginning readers (kind of Tom Gates-ish) but they're also a great family read-aloud (the 11 year old gets mad if we read when she's not there). This is also the rare series where each book gets progressively better/more funny.
