This is the book that started the whole Fancy Nancy series. The art is so much fun and the story is fun and the character is wonderful. This is my niece from age 3-5. This should have won a Caldecott. I love the fancy strokes in the artwork and the swirls and life therein. Nancy loveees fancy. She wants her family, who are very normal, to be more fancy so she offers fancy lessons. They all attend and she fancies them up. They go out to dinner all dressed up. Everyone is having a grand ol’ time. Nancy goes up to get the parfaits and she trips embarrassing herself. She goes home and gets in her robe and is happy to be normal.It is a great story to start everything off with. The niece went down memory lane with this. She enjoyed it and she gave this 4 stars. She thought Nancy was funny and she laughed at the story. We had fun together. I tried to read it to the nephew and he said ‘no’ he didn’t want to read it. He had read enough of them and they are all the same. So no stars from him.

Fancy Nancy is a character who loves accessories and glamorous ones at that. She believes in dressing up and in educating her family on the importance of style. She teaches the reader exciting new vocabulary as she instructs her family. She is an independent thinker with much creativity and spirit. A delightfully fun read with outrageously imagined illustrations!

Great name! This is a cute book and I would have to say one of my favorites just because I was always called and teased with the nickname Fancy Nancy when I was growing up.

4 Posh STARS "I love you," my dad says."I love you," my mom says.And all I say back is, "I love you."Because there isn't a fancy - or better - way of saying that. Fancy Nancy es una niña muy confidente, el adjetivo correcto para describirla es “extra”, va más allá para llamar la atención y como diríamos en México le gusta colgarse hasta el molcajete. Es una niña muy tierna, que defiende su estilo propio de vestir y lo más importante quiere incluir a toda su familia, y es lo más bonito de esta historia, las interacciones familiares.Hermoso libro.

This book is extraordinary---that's a fancy word for wonderful! We've been reading a lot of "Fancy Nancy" in the library at work as of late, prepping ourselves for Jane O'Connor's visit to our school next week! I am just as excited as the kids, especially after reading about adorable little Nancy and her quest to make all things fancy! I love it! Ms. O'Connor just knows how to tap into the imagination of little girls, and Nancy is one that girls her age could really look up to, proving it is ok to express yourself and be bold and different without apology---all while learning some fun and fancy synonyms along the way!

Mademoiselle Nancy: Building Vocabulary One Fancy Word at a TimeWhen I went looking on the web to find out the English name of Jane O'Connor's series of books about a little girl who wants to be chic, I was a little taken aback to discover she's Fancy Nancy. We've been reading Mademoiselle Nancy to Jeanne (age three and a half) for about a month in French. Nancy says she plays better soccer when she wears frou-frou socks, she thinks her family should take lessons in how to be chic, she loves fuschia (the chic or fancy way to say pink) and she is brought down to earth every time in a charming way, after having learned a number of new, gorgeous words. I haven't counted, but there must be at least eight books in the series, some of which were developed to expand the horizons of early readers. The stories in French would seem to be particularly useful for kids in French immersion. Mademoiselle Nancy et le garçon de Paris, for example, takes place in some Canadian town where a newcomer plays "soccer" even though he comes from Paris: French kids would say foot. But who's to quibble when Nancy is there to dance around.Nancy's love for fancy words can come in handy when you're trying to get a child out of a potty mouth rut. Jeanne thinks it's hilarious that there are other words for pipi and caca and actually will use them occasionally.

Nancy loves everything fancy! Her favorite color is fuchsia, she writes with a plume pen, and her doll's name is Marabelle Lavinia Chandellier. Unfortunately, Nancy's family is not as fancy as her, if at all. Nancy teaches her family what it means to be fancy, even dressing them up in fancy clothes. To celebrate their new fanciness, the family goes out to eat, and even though everyone stares at them they order parfaits and have fun... until Nancy trips and spills their parfaits on her fancy dress. But back at home, Nancy learns just how fancy her family is in making her feel loved.I love Fancy Nancy! Which is really weird because usually I don't do too well with overtly 'girlie' things. I love how Jane O'Connor manages to teach her readers important life lessons and qualities while having fun with being a girl. Here, O'Connor teaches us that no matter who you family is, how fancy they are or are not, they are your family. I also love how not only does O'Connor use French words and words that are uncommon to children, but she also explains what they mean. Let's talk about the illustrations - I love them! They are amazingly detailed, full of bright colors and are absolutely fun to look at. Within Children's Books, Fancy Nancy is one of my favorite series!
