PreSchool-K–Young Nancy, like her literary predecessors Eloise and Olivia, is a glamour queen dropped into a boring world–Nobody in my family is fancy at all. They never even ask for sprinkles. She determines to rescue her relatives from their humdrum existence by giving them lessons and accessorizing their mundane wardrobes. A situation that is charming when observed by adults in real life doesnt translate into a successful picture book. Children pretending to be fabulous creatures is appealing when it is innocent and unforced. This book, despite Glassers wonderfully energetic artwork, is ultimately a story told by adults for adults.–Kathleen Whalin, York Public Library, ME

From Booklist
PreS-Gr. 2. For Nancy, there's no such thing as too, too much; she loves her frilly bedroom, her lace-trimmed socks, and her pen with a plume. Nancy teaches her family how to be fancy, too. Then following Nancy's lead, the fancied-up family heads for a festive night out (at the local pizzeria). ^B A messy food mishap puts a damper on Nancy's joy, but her supportive family and the^B "I love you" at bedtime smoothes everything out. O'Connor, the author of the Nina, Nina Ballerina stories, delivers a delightful story of dress-up and cozy family love, with a charming protagonist who enjoys, and enjoys sharing, glamour. Nancy's perky narrative, in short, simple sentences, incorporates some "fancy" vocabulary for kids to absorb (stupendous, posh), along with a sense of the rewards of a family doing things together. The cheerfully colored art is aptly exuberant, a riotous blending of color and pattern and action. A book sure to appeal to girls' inner princesses--and inspire new ensembles and decor.

Fancy Nancy is the Best!
Ooo-la-la! We love Fancy Nancy. My little girl was Fancy Nancy for Halloween, had a Fancy Nancy Birthday party, and wants to read her book over and over. Her favorite page is when the whole family gets fancy and goes to the Kings Crown. Their grand entrance gets laughs every time. He would probably not admit it, but even my 6 year old son loves Fancy Nancy.
WONDERFUL!
This is such a beautiful and fun book! The artwork is stunning, colorful and detailed. The story is cute, uplifting and endearing. Sure to be a classic and a true keeper! Highly recommended!
Sweet book
I gave this book to my niece for Christmas. She wanted to read it the second she opened it, even with a pile of toys next to her. The illustrations are great and the story if fun.
