"This is a cute and energetic book about a girl who wants a fancy dog. The way the writters adds "that's a fancy word for..." is so fun for a child to learn those bigger words. It is a book that should be read to a child, a child reading by themselves will have a hard time (in my opinion) with getting the story to flow, which is what makes this such a fun and exciting book. If an adult reads, this story is good for kids of any age."
"When it comes to Nancy, there is no such thing as too, too much. She loves to be fancy and even teaches her family to be fancy too. One night, the family decides to go out to the local pizzeria for a fun time. While there, a messy food mishap occurs and puts a bit of a damper on Nancy's excitement. Nancy's family is very supportive and makes everything alright. Nancy loves to be glamorous and this story incorporates fun and fancy vocabulary for kids to learn. This would be a story girls would love.
"Why am I just barely discovering Fancy Nancy? I love love love this series and I think my kids like it almost as much! I enjoy seeing all of the little details in the pictures that make me laugh and every time I read them, I want to go and accessorize and have a fancy party for no reason!"
"I don't think Nancy is bratty or conceited - I think she's a little girl who, like many young children, likes shiny and "fancy" things. And she has remarkably supportive parents - just look at their shopping list! Milk, eggs, bread, fuschia hair mousse.
The pictures are... interesting. They really accurately capture the moods of the characters - the little sister copying her big sister (or grumbling as the crown is patiently taped back on her head!), the kid jumping for excitement. All the same, the actual pictures of the characters seems a little off to me. Like the scene where we see Nancy peeking from behind the fridge door after she taped the poster on it. Realistic? Yes. Do I like it? For some reason, no. It's just a matter of simple preference, and not something I'd rate down for.
I will rate down for the text. It's a bit dull, and while I appreciate the effort to cram new vocabulary words in (Posh is a fancy word for fancy!) I find it all to be a excessively... what is that fancy word? Oh yes, didactic. I found this method of teaching to be condescending when I was a child, and now that I'm *reading* to kids I don't like it any more.
The storyline's a bit bland, too. How many stories do we need about children having minor mishaps and getting hugged? Nothing against it, but surely the market must be glutted by now? (Which reminds me, I'm also not a fan of all the merchandising surrounding this book, but that's an unrelated issue.) And as for "there isn't a fancier or better way of saying I love you", I get the point, but sure there is! My nieces come up with them every day! "You're my sunshine" and "You make me happy whenever I'm with you" and "Your smile brightens cloudy days" and "When you cry, it hurts my heart", and my personal favorite, "You're the BEST, Connie!", accompanied by a BIG HUG. (Not to mention all the nonverbal ways of saying you love somebody - hugging them, snuggling them, being fancy for them, getting them something nice just because you know it'll make them happy, giving them the last piece of cake instead of squabbling over it, covering up for your sister's mistake by claiming YOU scribbled on the wall and not her (not something I want to encourage, but it's the thought, right?), asking your aunt if your sister can come out of time-out because you don't REALLY mind that she hit you, you forgive her - lots of ways!)
My nieces enjoy this book, I guess, although it isn't their favorite."
