Dory Fantasmagory: Dory Dory Black Sheep

Dory turns learning to read into a hilarious adventure through the power of imagination—perfect for fans of Junie B. Jones and Ivy and Bean!  Ever since Dory met Rosabelle a real true friend whose imagination and high spirits match her own school has been pretty good. But now the class is learning to read and it's proving to be a challenge for Dory. While Rosabelle can read chapter books in her head Dory is stuck with baby books about a happy little farm. Dory wishes for a potion to turn her into a reader but things don't go as planned. Suddenly a naughty little girl who looks an awful lot like Dory's imaginary nemesis Mrs. Gobble Gracker shows up. And a black sheep leaves the pages of the farm book to follow Dory to school. It really needs her help--this seems like a job for a superhero! And it would help if she knew how to read. . In her third book Dory takes reluctant reading to new heights with a story that is as one-of-a-kind and hilarious as she is.. An especially wonderful book to share with reluctant readers...I can’t imagine a book more calculated to reinforce the power of reading and becoming a reader than Dory Dory Black Sheep. It is a true triumph. —Publishers Weekly ShelfTalker   Hanlon has a winning way with the story’s characters (real and imaginary) and dialogue.” —Booklist
