Book Reviews of Fancy Nancy
Book Review: Amazing Book
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this for our 18 month old daughter, who is now just shy of 2 and both she AND her 4 year old brother LOVE THIS BOOK! They fight over who gets to read it before bed and they know the story so well now they can recite the lines. This is definitely our favorite!Book Review: An Excellent Start to the Series
Summary: 5 Stars
I think what makes us love Fancy Nancy, is not her fanciness (although to my daughter that's definitely a plus), it's how much she loves and cares about her family and those around her. This book illustrates how much the family loves Nancy back and it's really wonderful. My daughter loves the whole series and I could read it over and over again.Book Review: An Unexpected Gem
Summary: 5 Stars
OK, full disclosure: I saw this book in a store window and I bought it because my daughter's name is Nancy. My wife was against the book because she didn't want to encourage our girl to be too "fancy." Turns out, she needn't have worried. This isn't really a book about being fancy. It's a book about being yourself and your family accepting who you are, if all that fits in a book for pre-school kids.
Yes, Nancy likes things fancy. (She has clever lines like "Then I get an idea that is stupendous. That's a fancy word for great." and "Lace-trimmed socks do help me to play soccer better.") She's disappointed the others in her family aren't as fancy as she. So she offers "fancy" lessons to her family and they all attend. Then they go out for a "fancy" dinner to a local diner. It's all very sweet, actually.
And it's worth mentioning that the illustrations by Robin Preiss Glasser are beautiful. (I'd say "fancy," but that doesn't seem to strike the write note concerning these gorgeous pictures.) All in all, this is a book about a loving family that should be shared in loving families.
Book Review: Artistically delightful!
Summary: 5 Stars
A must have in any young child's library, but particularly for little girls who will appreciate the illustrations of fancy things. I also would use it in my elementary classroom for enjoyment of language and learning of synonyms.Book Review: BEST CHILDRENS BOOK 5 Stars
I received this from a co-worker who saw it on "The Today Show" and HAD to get it for my 2 year old twin girls. I have to say my girls have a lot of books and this is by far my favorite. It is so cute and so funny and FUN TO READ. We just love it and recommend adding it to your library, whether it's for you, your daughter(in-law), grandmother, mother. It is a treat for all. ENJOY!
