Do you love books that make you laugh and are full of imagination and real feelings? Do you wish you had a fairy godmother named Mr. Nuggy, who answers the banana phone when you call? Or maybe you already know the Dory Fantasmagory books? Did you know a new one (the 6th!) just came out? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, or are just up for a fun afternoon, come to our Dory Fantasmagory Party where we will celebrate this fabulous character and series with crafts, snacks, readalouds, and a dancy party inspired by the most recent book! Registration encouraged, program geared for children ages 5-9, all who are interested are welcome.
