Dory Fantasmagory

This also was a cute title that caught my eye and had a good rating.

This books was so great! At one point I was laughing so hard I was crying. Many times my kids laughed, like belly laughed (ages 4 and 6). Read it in 2 sittings and have already ordered the second book!

All I can say is...please write more books in this series. Read with my second graders this year and so many got hooked on the series. A favorite for sure.

(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!

Daughter LOVED these books

My daughter and I love this book! We bought the second book as soon as we finished the first. Can’t wait to get books 3-5!Just a warning to moms though, thinking of buying this book for the kids to read; there is a chapter where Dory is talking about killing this imaginary witch by poisoning her. She attempts it but it doesn’t work. It caught me off guard and that is the ONE thing I didn’t like or appreciate about the book. This is the reason for 4stars.

My 6 year old wants to read these noon and night. Funny and cute stories.

My second grade class absolutely LOVED this book. They begged to read it every day and laughed out loud at Dory's mischief.

Cute story, my daughter loved it and couldn’t put it down.

My son loves it. We bought the second part. Would be starting soon.

Muy bonito , calidad de papel muy baja

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.

Meine 8-jährige Tochter hat dieses Buch verschlungen! Ich musste direkt Teil 2 und 3 bestellen. Die Geschichte ist toll und dass das Buch auf Englisch geschrieben ist, macht ihr zusätzlich großen Spaß. Absolute Kaufempfehlung!
