"I read the original Fancy Nancy book to my nieces, and, at the time, thought that the effect of Nancy stopping every other word to explain that "That's a fancy word for so-and-so" was a little annoying. Having now read several of the early readers, I can honestly say that it is MUCH less annoying when you're not the one reading the book aloud!
My niece (who is six and entering the first grade in a week!) found this book easy enough to read with only a little help from me. Help largely consisted of asking her to sound out a word a second time, asking her if the sentence "makes sense" the way she read it, or asking if she's SURE she saw a d (or b, or w) in that word. There were a few words I had to read *for* her, but not more than I'd expect from this style of book. However, it should be noted that she was one of the better readers in her kindergarten class.
The "fancy" words in this book range from the more useful (planetarium) to the more obscure (al fresco). I will note that this book writes "al fresco" as one word, which is very annoying for the simple reason that it is wrong.
I also want to say that there are some areas that show a really fun way of using language - the sentence "sprinkles make them sparkle" has become my private catchphrase du jour! (That's a fancy word for "of the day", as in "soup du jour of the day".) And while it doesn't take poetic genius to compare how the rain goes "drip drip drip" with how Nancy's tears go "drip drip drip", it is the sort of sentence you don't always see in early readers - as though authors think that poetry or fun will make the book hard to read!
I will also note that there are an awful lot of sentences on each page. This is a good book for kids in the later stage of "beginning readers", I think, not in the very early stage."
