Dory Dory Black Sheep: Dory Dory Black Sheep
(Libby/OverDrive eBook, Kindle)

While Dory's friend Rosabelle can read chapter books, Dory struggles with selections from the easy-reader bin. Initially resistant to learning, she begins to engage with the written word in her own original way. As always, fantasy flavors her reality, and Dory often draws her other classmates into her lively, imaginative play, which now includes a superhero. Hanlon has a winning way with the story's characters (real and imaginary) and dialogue. With amusing situations and expressive, childlike drawings, the third entry in the Dory Fantasmagory series will satisfy the many young chapter-book readers who like their books served with a generous helping of fun.--Phelan, Carolyn Copyright 2016 Booklist

In her third illustrated chapter book, the imaginative six-year-old tackles reading. In true Dory fashion, she finds herself traversing the pages of books as characters come to life. But Dory struggles to read, unlike best friend Rosabelle, which adds a layer of vulnerability to her already endearing character. The mix of real emotions with zany antics will delight and engage new readers. (c) Copyright 2017. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
