Read for my toddler's bedtime. Fancy Nancy is pretty with her ruffle clothes. She cared about her hair for school picture day.

4 stars I was pretty nervous reading this to my little girl, since Nancy decides she wants to cut her own hair... But then it turned into a teachable moment. Every kid at some point decides they want to explore with scissors, Im just hoping we covered that experience by reading this book and learning from it :P

This was our book to read today. I shuddered reading it because Fancy Nancy cuts her hair....I hope Abbi does not have ideas now about cutting her hair! Ha! Fancy Nancy is getting ready for school pictures in this one and cuts her hair to match Amelia Earhart's. Abbi loved this one and she loves learning the new "fancy" words.

Every kid cuts her/his hair at some point, and does it badly. Fancy Nancy is no different - though her new hairdo is just in time for picture day! Oh no!

** spoiler alert ** I found this book really empowering to young girls and also an example of diversity within friendships. I appreciated that Nancy’s friend was of a different ethnicity than her and it showed her in corn rows and that’s how Nancy wanted to wear her hair! Also, I enjoyed that Nancy was reading a book about Amelia Earhart a woman who is a great example for young girls!

I've hesitated to pick up a Fancy Nancy book in the past but was pleasantly surprised to discover that for an early reader book, it includes a bit harder words than most early readers AND includes definitions after each word as well as at the conclusion of the book. Now, I just hope my daughter doesn't get any ideas when it comes to hair and scissors!

The Fancy Nancy series is nice because it makes a point to use more a little bit harder words than are in most early readers, and it states right after what the word means. These books can be an aid in vocabulary building for young readers.

I read this to the kids I baby sit age 5, 4, and 3. Even the boys didn't mind that it was girly, and I liked the lesson about cutting hair.

O'Connor, J. "Fancy nancy: hair dos and hair don'ts". (2011). New York: Harper Collins.This book is an easy reader, about a character named Fancy Nancy. Picture day is coming up at school and Fancy Nancy tries all different hair stlyes, to see which is most flattering. She ends up cutting her own hair and is ashamed at the outcome. But no worries...Nancy's teacher surprises all the students with matching caps to wear in the picture, hiding her bad hair day. I especially liked this story because I'm a hairstylist.

This story is one that just about all parents and children can relate to. Fancy Nancy is excited for picture day, but she decides to cut her own hair. It doesn't go very well as it never does and she looks really funny. The Fancy Nancy series as a whole does an incredible job of introducing more sophisticated vocabulary words to beginning readers. The I Can Read series of books are appropriate for beginning readers or kids who need a little bit of assistance when reading.
