Fancy Nancy: Pajama Day audiobook

I read the original Fancy Nancy book to my nieces, and, at the time, thought that the effect of Nancy stopping every other word to explain that "That's a fancy word for so-and-so" was a little annoying. Having now read several of the early readers, I can honestly say that it is MUCH less annoying when you're not the one reading the book aloud!My niece (who is six and entering the first grade in a week!) found this book easy enough to read with only a little help from me. Help largely consisted of asking her to sound out a word a second time, asking her if the sentence "makes sense" the way she read it, or asking if she's SURE she saw a d (or b, or w) in that word. There were a few words I had to read *for* her, but not more than I'd expect from this style of book. However, it should be noted that she was one of the better readers in her kindergarten class.I especially liked how obvious it was that Nancy felt a little left out and friendless, even before she said she felt "excluded".I will also note that there are an awful lot of sentences on each page. This is a good book for kids in the later stage of "beginning readers", I think, not in the very early stage.

Many schools have a pajama day, so this offers, like so many other Fancy Nancy books, some great realism that kids can relate to (or can expect to happen, if they're little).

Fancy Nancy shares her experience during Pajama Day at school. Unlike her classmates including her friends Bree and Clara she wears a night gown that makes her to feel excluded. Even though the day is not great for her, her two friends invite her at the end of the evening and they spend time together as friends and ‘triplets’. The author provides young readers with lessons about dealing with uniqueness, being inclusive and friendship. The bookend lists a list of fancy words – vocabulary used in the book. This is a unique way that the author introduces new words to young readers. Great illustrations that relate to the story are used throughout the book.

My daughter started Kindergarten this year and this was the very first book she brought home on Library day. I was so proud it's a great starter book for reading it has big words with their meaning so they learn vocabulary and over all it has a adorable story.

Nancy is asked to twin with her friend for PJ day, but wants to wear her own fancy gown. She wears her own gown, but then finds out that two of her friends are twinning. She ends up being disappointed, but happy to be unique.

I think Jane O'Connor does a magnificent job of telling stories little girls can mirror into their own lives. Whether it be make-believe, friend drama, little sister troubles, etc. and she is just so much fun.

This is a fun upper level easy reader. Nancy is always teaching readers new fancy words, and in this book they even tell you how to say a unique word (you-NEEK). It’s pajama day at school. Nancy wants to be unique, but realizes that sometimes being unique means being alone.

Super cute book

Fun!

3.5 stars but rounding up since my daughter loved it!

Great book for my girl students that keeps things fun with friends and using their imagination.

great learning to read books for Z

"Fancy Nancy: Pajama Day" - written by Jane O'Connor and published in 2009 by HarperCollins. After shelving hundreds of Fancy Nancy books at our library, I have finally read one, as this is the book choice of our youngest book club member. I can see the attraction, both in the story line and the illustrations. The original artist, Robin Preiss Glasser, created the cute, flirty, curly, ribbony scenes that are associated with Fancy Nancy. This book briefly presents a mild case of peer acceptance worry that is nicely resolved. I was surprised to see that vocabulary lessons are inserted right into the text and wonder how effective they are. Fancy Nancy will surely be a lasting part of the early reading memories of many of today's children.

This is such an adorable book! It is about Nancy and her friends who get to have a pajama day at school. Two of her friends where the same pajamas that Nancy has at home but she wanted to wear her new pajamas. She felt left out all day because they were matching and she was different. At the end of the day she went home and changed into the same pajamas as them and they all had a play date. What I loved about this book and all the other Fancy Nancy books, is the hard words they use. This helps build the kids vocabulary and at the end of the book there is a list of all the fancy words with their meanings. I would use any of these books in the classroom because of this aspect.
