![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I know there is a certain group of little girls out there who will feel like they ARE Fancy Nancy, and they will love this book! It’s also a good book to show kids that it’s okay to stand out and embrace being different. I love the scene where they burst into the local pizza restaurant for their fancy night the expressions and postures of everyone in the scene are fantastic. Her family’s non-fanciness is emphasized by having them drawn wearing neutral colors and gray tones for the majority of the book while Nancy is always wearing pink or purple. Jane OConnor is an editor at a major publishing house who has written more than seventy books for children, including the New York Times bestselling Fancy Nancy series. The illustrations in the book are so much fun, with lots of bright colors and details that both kids and adults can appreciate. Though her efforts go awry, they are hilarious, well-meant and accepted by her family, and the end of the book is very sweet and cute. Eventually, she gets a great idea and takes on the task of teaching them to be fancy. She considers her family to not be fancy in the least, which is one of her greatest disappointments. ![]() She learns fancy words, decorates her room in a fancy way and wears outfits that look like she dropped into a basket of discarded ballet costumes. She is obsessed with being fancy, and she spends a lot of time fancifying up basically everything she comes across. What a cute story! Nancy is a vivacious, precocious little girl, probably around age five to seven. ![]()
