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.The revelation that Nancy makes that "Oh, you like LIONS because your name is LIONEL" is especially cute, and the story about befriending a shy kid you think you don't have anything in common with, though it's an overdone topic, is handled well. (Besides, maybe kids this age don't know it's a common topic yet.)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.

This is a level 1 book, but I have to disagree as the words are much bigger and harder than what I would imagine a beginning reader could do on their own. However there is a dictionary of sorts in the back with words and meanings that is within the book. Nancy and her best friend are excited for a show that their class is putting on. But when the teacher assigns them to other people Nancy is nervous! Her partner is the shyest boy in the class. They don't know anything about either one of them. But Nancy soon finds that if she spends time to get to know him she becomes friends with him and they have something in common which is what they do their part in the show on. And everyone loves it.

Here I am again reading another Fancy Nancy so soon! I couldn't resist. Although, I think the vocabulary is hard for a child to grasp/remember throughout the story, I enjoyed all the new fancy words in Nancy's new adventure. This was more adorable than I could imagine especially when Nancy's partner Lionel revealed that he loved lions (I love the play on words). His whole bedroom was just filled with them to my surprise. It really just made me want to figure how to make some cool masks. The story was sweet as ever, the art lovely, and the message clear: everyone has something special about them.

Another one with good lessons for elementary school kids. Nancy wanted to be paired with her best friend for the talent show, but the teacher assigned partners instead, and she has no talents in common with her new partner Lionel. I like that Nancy's dad suggests she invite Lionel over so they can get to know each other, and it works—they find a way to put their talents together perfectly, and make friends in the process.

3.5Had I been editing, I would have cut the line where Nancy screams for help when her male friend is chasing her playfully as a lion. I feel language is important, so does Nancy, and I wouldn't want this story to subtly imply that fear = fun when you're a girl hanging with a guy. Other than that, I loved this plot, where Nancy has to navigate unmet expectations, but still gets to wear a FAB ensemble!

This I Can Read Fancy Nancy series is perfect for young students to practice their reading skills and boost their confidence by practicing many sight and easy to sound out words, while enjoying a fun story.

My youngest daughter, who is seven, loves Fancy Nancy books and we've been reading them for a few years. Even though this is one she can read herself, it's still great as a read-aloud. I like that they have the short vocabulary/definitions in the back for "fancy words".

another cute, less bratty one. I like that she is forced to work with someone new and that she learns that she was wrong about him. I don't like that she makes herself some annoying fancy lion tamer.

This book is about how Fancy Nancy has to be a partner with Lionel for the talent show. She doesn't know much about him so she goes over to his house to brainstorm new ideas for the talent show. She finds out that Lionel likes lions so Nancy is the ringmaster while Lionel is a lion. They do fantastic at the fashion show and Nancy meets a new friends. This book teaches kids that it is great to meet new friends and learn new things about people.

I read this book to the fourth grades that I am working with. They loved it. They really enjoyed the suspense and being able to guess what was going to happen next. I was so impressed at the way they knew some of the meanings of the larger words in here. I think it's interesting how this book teaches that you may not always be able to choose your partners for things, but sometimes it works out for the better. I recommend this book to any older elementary school girl.

This is a great book. In this book Nancy meets one of her classmates that she has never talked to before. She is surprised at how much they get along becuase she's never talked to him before. This story would be great to read to your class and then split them up with classmates they don't usually hang out with.
