Book Reviews of Fancy Nancy's Favorite Fancy Words: From Accessories to Zany
Book Review: Fun Way to Build Vocabulary - a review of Fancy Nancy's Fav Words
Summary: 3 Stars
We weren't acquainted with Fancy Nancy, but we will definitely be checking out more of her books in the future. (She reminds us a bit of Gooneybird Green: Gooney Bird Greene).
In this book the focus is 'fancy words'. As Fancy Nancy explains, "[W]hen you use one in a sentence, it's like adding sprinkles to vanilla ice cream!"
Generally speaking, the words are great choices: Accessories, Boa, Canine, Dapper, Excursion, Fiasco.... Each is given it's own page, a colorful picture, and a sample sentence, such as: "I dropped all the parfaits. What a fiasco!".
The cover on the hard back is special. It has raised letters that are all fancy and sparkly. Definitely worth a trip to the library. This one will help build vocabulary in a fun way.
The Accelerated Reading level is 3.2

Book Review: Great Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
The Fancy Nancy books were recommended to us by family for our daughter, to help her develop her vocabulary in a fun, funny and witty way. Wonderfully written and excellently illustrated this book is both a pleasure to read and look at. Fancy Nancy in a sweet charming way introduces young readers to big words, but in such a way that the children will remember and be able to use them. What a wonderful little book. I cannot wait for more Fancy Nancy to come into our hands to read together.
