Questa autrice esplora il profondo legame tra l'infanzia e la narrazione. Attingendo alle sue esperienze di insegnante e al suo amore per il gioco immaginativo, illumina come i bambini usano naturalmente parole e immagini per esprimere il loro mondo. Il suo lavoro si addentra nel panorama dell'immaginazione infantile e nei modi in cui possiamo riscoprirla in età adulta.
Dory ha sei anni, un’immaginazione incontenibile, un fratello e una sorella che non vogliono mai giocare con lei, e un’amica che nessun altro vede. Passa la sua estate in camicia da notte a scovare i mostri sparsi per casa, a scappare dalla prigione (anche detta castigo) e a combattere la signora Arraffagracchi con l’aiuto di una fatina-gnomo. Il divertimento non manca nella vita di Dory... e in queste pagine ricche, dei suoi disegni e fumetti.
Dory, a highly imaginative youngest child, makes a new friend at school but her brother and sister are sure Rosabelle is imaginary, just like all of Dory's other friends.
From the coauthor of the smash hit All My Friends Are Dead and the creator of the beloved Dory Fantasmagory chapter book series comes a hilarious read aloud about a boy who loses his gift for rhyme.

A loose tooth leads to hilarious hijinks with the tooth fairy in book four of the wonderfully imaginative Dory Fantasmagory series
Two books in one! The first two adventures of Dory's beloved chapter book series come together in this volume. Dory is a little rascal 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. And Dory has lots to do: outsmarting the monsters all over her house, playing with her favorites, worrying about the upcoming school year, and finally, making a true friend of her own. This volume includes the first two books in the series: Dory Fantasmagory and The Real True Friend. With plenty of pictures bursting with charm and character, this hilarious series is a must-read for the chapter book set.
"Abby Hanlon’s Dory Fantasmagory series is some of the best children’s literature in years." —New York Magazine The wildly popular, ever hilarious Dory Fantasmagory series is back for a sixth adventure, with Dory turning separation anxiety into a ghostly, goofy escapade. When Dory loses track of her mom in the hardware store, it leads to a touch of separation anxiety. Dory suspects her mom will soon sail off on a ship across the world to eat cake and play kickball and never return. These are big feelings, and Dory knows what to do: She throws a sheet over her head and haunts her family everywhere they go so they can't leave her, much to the annoyance of her brother and sister. Then Dory’s longtime nemesis Mrs. Gobble Gracker reappears, wearing a wedding dress, and Dory’s mom makes an announcement that leaves not just Dory reeling but her siblings too. Maybe a haunting is exactly what's needed to get this family back to normal. In her sixth book, Dory delivers hoots and oopses on every page, entangling her friends—real and imaginary—in fabulous plots that sometimes take even Dory herself by delightful surprise.
