The daycare kids go crazy for this! 
2008-06-05
The kids at the daycare where I work get this glazed expression now whenever they see this book - they chant FANCY NANCY over and over. The fancy girls who all love pink and purple and glitter, of course, took to this right away. All of the boys have hovered nearby to overhear what happens, and now they just clamor on in with all the girls to reread the story again and again. It's a great story with a great heart. The expressive and detailed illustrations remind me of Hillary Knight, which is a good thing.
Even better are the lessons: learning acceptance for people who are different... in this case, ironically, a precocious child learning to accept and appreciate her normal family for who they are. But what I really loved about this book was the way Fancy Nancy's family provide selfless validation for her in the way they embrace her interests - an excellent model for all of us.
Stupendous, That's fancy for Great 2008-05-30
I bought this for my toddler because she was already showing all the signs of fanciness. It quickly became one of her favorite books. So I had to get a copy for my niece who is also fancy. Great way to grow a little one's vocab and encourage their own personality to develop.
Nancy is a true girl 
2008-05-18
I have a horrible feeling that this little girl was me at that age, before I went I-couldn't-care-less in fashion. But Nancy, for all her frills, has a heart of gold and just wants to teach the world to have a little more class, bless her heart.
Nancy makes for a charismatic narrator, and it's easy to get inside her head. At the same time, the ways of her family also hit home.
Rather than having a life-changing message, this is a sweet story with lots of heart that just wants to express that everyone is different and that's okay.
We love Fancy Nancy!! 2008-05-16
Fancy Nancy is my daughters favorite book series right now. She is so funny and it's good because my daughter has added a few words into her vocabulary (she calls them her "Fancy Nancy" words). In this book Fancy Nancy has a great time teaching her family to be "fancy" just like her. Full of laughs for everyone.
Cute, fun story for little girls 2008-04-29
My daughter and I discovered Fancy Nancy at the library when we checked out Fancy Nancy & the Posh Puppy. She was enchanted with Fancy Nancy, and we were tickled when she began using some of Nancy's fancy words like "plume". So, I purchased the original Fancy Nancy for her as a gift. It's the cutest story about how Fancy Nancy decided to teach her family about being fancy, and how her family loves her so much that they want to try it out. We absolutely LOVE the illustrations and the story gave us a lot to talk about.
Fancy Nancy Books are Wonderful 2008-07-12
I held a Fancy Nancy party for my granddaughter for her 6th birthday. We made a Fancy Nancy cake and the ultimate was when she opened all her Fancy Nancy books that she received as gifts. Just adorable writing and illustrations. Thanks.
I wish I had this book as a little girl! 2008-07-10
I have a four-year-old daughter, and this is the perfect book (and series) for her and her age set. The girls can all relate to how fancy Nancy appears all the time, and I love all the great new vocabulary words my daughter has picked up from Nancy's "fancy" words. Great (and clever) illustrations, too. I now buy this book as a birthday gift for any of my daughter's friends who don't yet have it, and it's an instant hit. This is a can't miss book! I only wish I had it when I was their age!
Wonderful story 2008-06-27
I loved this book...it is so sweet and my own grandbaby "Fancy Nancy" will love it!!
The cutest book ever! 2008-06-24
I have been reading the Fancy Nancy books to my daughter since she was a year old. She loves them. She asks for Nancy every night and at nap time too! She now is the proud owner of a Fancy Nancy doll.
Fancy Feast 2008-06-19
This book is a feast for the eyes. Beautifully illustrated and with a very nice lesson about love and family, this book is a favorite of mine(and my three year old loves it as well). Nancy lives in her own little fancy world, but she is loved for who she is. This book is a great read. Adults and children will be happy to sit down and read this one
