Dory Fantasmagory

Dory wears her cow costume as a disguise in case Mrs. Gobble Gracker wakes up. Dory tries to get her siblings to laugh. During cereal time, it’s easy to get them to laugh if she makes milk come out of her nose or uses bathroom words. After cereal time, Dory tries new strategies to get their attention but has little success. Violet notices that Dory looks sweaty in her cow costume. Their mom yells at her to take the costume off, causing Dory to have another temper tantrum. She screams and cries and takes off the cow costume, because it’s too hot to wear during a tantrum, not “because they told [her] to” (64). Dory goes outside to lie in the hammock and consider whether she acts like a baby, as her siblings say. She encounters a strange little man named Mr. Nuggy who claims to be her fairy godmother. Dory asks him to turn her into a pineapple but it doesn’t work, so he turns her into a puppy instead. Mrs. Gobble Gracker reappears, but Dory is able to evade her because of her new puppy disguise.
