Book Reviews of Fancy Nancy: Bonjour, Butterfly
Book Review: Fabulous, Darling, Fabulous
Summary: 5 Stars
My newly four year old daughter and I have just discovered Fancy Nancy, and I don't know how we have missed her until now. FANCY NANCY: BONJOUR, BUTTERFLY is our first Fancy Nancy book. But it certainly will not be our last. These books are colorful, humorous, and Nancy, well, Nancy is quite a character, and very, very, very similar to my youngest child. My wee one clearly sees herself in Fancy Nancy, as do I. This was a perfect birthday gift for her.
In FANCY NANCY: BONJOUR, BUTTERFLY, our very glamorous Nancy is inconsolably disappointed because she is going to miss her best friend's birthday extravaganza. It seems that it is on the same day as her grandparents' 50th anniversary party. For two days, this little drama queen "scowls and sulks and storms around the house." But when she gets to the extraordinary party, Nancy has "so much fun, that she forgets to be furious." She even apologizes to her parents for her previous behavior.
Author Jane O'Connor has created an adorable character in Fancy Nancy, one that my daughter whole-heartedly relates to. (I really think that Ms. O'Connor must have followed my little one around to get her inspiration for Nancy). Nancy always dresses in costume, complete with incredible hats and feather boas; is very, very feminine and girly; and she is a total drama queen - every word that comes out of her mouth is fancy and exaggerated. Her emotions are extreme, but she always has a good time in the end. Seriously, this is exactly how I would describe my 4 year old.
The sumptuous illustrations in FANCY NANCY: BONJOUR, BUTTERFLY are masterpieces - bold, bright, and extremely detailed. Nancy's many and varied costumes are confections of couture. Even the cover art is fit for a princess: shiny, vivid, and sparkly.
As I said, this is our first Fancy Nancy book, but definitely not our last. My daughter loved this book, and clearly recognizes a kindred spirit. I can already tell, there is going to be even more high drama, even more fancy clothes and costumes around our house from now on. Oh well, like mother, like daughter... ;-)
