Ever since Dory met Rosabelle, a 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. Luckily, Dory's imagination whirls into action and a black sheep leaves the pages of her reading book and follows her to school... Soon Dory's real life blurs with her imagined life, with laugh-out-loud consequences.
Fully illustrated throughout, and with perfect-for-bedtime length chapters, this adorable little mischief-maker has captured the hearts of over 1.6 million readers round the world, and is sure to capture yours, too!
