As the youngest member of her family, Dory is often left to her own devices—including her wild imagination, untiring energy, and a whole host of imaginary friends. With plenty of pictures bursting with charm and character, this hilarious series about an irresistible rascal is the new must-read for the chapter book set. (From Penguin Random House)
This is one of those cases where I probably enjoy the books just as much as my kids. I first read this aloud to the whole family on a road trip to Yosemite. We were all cracking up. Dory's just like so many of my favorite very imaginative kids. She and her extensive cast of imaginary friends get into a lot of hilarious situations. But as fantastical as Dory's world is, the stories address some very real situations that a lot of kids face. It's a great learning tool as well as a rollicking read!
