Dory Fantasmagory: Outside the Box

I can’t say enough good things about these books. Super funny and engaging stories. They are great books to read out loud to younger elementary students, and great for older elementary students to read on their own. My son loves these books, and so do I.

This is the first chapter book I've been able to interest my 5yo daughter in. We read it aloud to her again and again each night and it just never gets old for any of us. It's got the most lovable protagonist, and is full of humor which even our 9 yo boy enjoys. It's a raucous romp through the imagination of a five year old with side splitting humor that's a bit reminiscent of Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. I've gifted this book to quite a few of my daughter's friends, and everyone loves it. I especially like how Dory isn't overly girly, which is a welcome relief from the deluge of princess stuff my daughter normally insists on. Can't recommend this book more highly!

In our opinion, Dory Fantasmagory books are great read alouds for first graders. It is a great book series because they are funny. Dory uses a banana to call an imaginary friend named Mr. Nuggy. Another reason is Dory has a great imagination. She has imaginary friends and enemies. Finally, Dory Fantasmagory books have great illustrations. There are pictures on almost every page. Dory Fantasmagory books are wonderful for first graders. They will love it!

It's been a while since my 8 year old and I had so much fun reading a great book. I would highly recommend this series.

My eight-year-old daughter loves these books. She thought they were so funny.

Absolutely love these books. Got the 4 book set for the same price as 2 books at the school book fair. My granddaughter is so excited to have the set.

Awesome series for kids that are starting to branch out from picture books. My almost 4 year old adores these!

These books are an absolute treasure trove of joy for me and my daughter. Dory is a force, for any child to hold dear, and I dearly wish I had her to hold onto when I was small to feel slightly less alone in my rampant weirdness. Abby Hanlon is a miracle. Thank you, Abby, for bringing joy, care, and a proud weird into this world!

Super divertenti, mia figlia 7 anni li adora. Letti e riletti

I like the coverage of stories

I've been trying to get my girl to read - so far she's into comics or magazines only, and I've been tearing my hair out trying to find suitable BOOKS. I won't mention others which have failed to make her actually sit down to read, but Dory Fantasmagory is the first to do so, and I'm so moved I'm actually doing years of relief! THANK YOU Abby!

My daughter who is 7 loves these books. We are currently on the second one, she giggles so much when I read to her and loves to show other people the illustrations and tell them the funny things that Dory does. I think my daughter will enjoy reading this to herself and I am sure we will be reading them again once we are finished. Highly recommend.

Good books for early readers
