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. ( )

Nancy want to try out for the talent show with her best friend, but gets paired with another boy in class. At times they don't get along, but the manage to work together for the talent show.

This is a cute story about Nancy and her friend Bree who will be completing in their school talented show. Their talent is being in a circus and being trapeze girls. Bree and Nanzy find out that they can not choose their partners in the talent show and that their teacher is going to assign partners. The two girls are very upset. I like this story a lot because it teaches the girls that getting to know other students can be just as fun. Nancy is put with Lionel who is a shy little boy and by the end of the story she ends up really liking Lionel and made a new friend through the experience. The two get to know each other by figuring out their different talents. This is a great story for celebrating unique talents that each student may have. ( )

Fancy Nancy is a funny group of books following Nancy and her daily routines. In "The Show must go on" Nancy's teacher informs the class that they will be having a performance, however Ms. Glass is assigning partners "The means we don't get to choose."

Throughout the book, the author gives alternate meanings to the bigger works, such as applause, assign, brainstorm, Kimono, mansion, and adorable. I really like how this is worked into the story. It helps the beginning reader build their vocabulary.

A great story for the later beginning reader. ( )

I had never read Fancy Nancy until I decided to read it for my Children's Literature class. I knew it was quite popular with the young kids today. I was curious why it was so popular. It was cute. I like how the author explains to the reader what the words mean. This is a really nice feature for kids just learning to read. ( )
