Fancy submitted by Zekicmom on August 3, 2013, 2:25pm Very sweet book which is the first a lovely series. Beautiful illustrations, good story of a fancy girl and her supportive and good natured family.

Fancy Nancy submitted by jennifer-ricks on August 7, 2013, 8:30pm I thought this was a great book and I read it to my boys. Very fun story and I loved the word choice.

Adorable! submitted by emjane on August 9, 2013, 11:23am Fancy Nancy loves everything elaborate-- accessories, sparkles, the french language-- if it makes things fancier, Nancy is all about it. When she's given the chance to give her plain family lessons in fanciness, Nancy leaps at the opportunity.

O'Connor perfectly captures the voice of her enthusiastically fabulous protagonist, and readers will find themselves learning the tricks to living fancy (e.g. wearing lacy socks, always choosing sprinkles) along with Nancy's family.

The real joy of this book, though, are Glasser's amazingly detailed watercolor illustrations. The vivacity of Nancy leaps off the page thanks to her expressive facial expressions, multitude of accessories and baubles, and bright color palette.

Though the femininity of Nancy will likely turn off male readers, little girls will eat the story up and the multitude of details in the illustrations will help to keep parents interested through multiple reads as well.

Fancy girl submitted by Yanzhang on August 9, 2013, 10:11pm My kids like to be a fancy girl also

Super cute submitted by melissahimich on July 13, 2018, 5:52pm I love this book and the way it introduces new vocabulary words.

Good book submitted by shorna on August 23, 2019, 8:55pm Good book for 6 year old

Good submitted by TLW1998 on June 25, 2022, 4:27pm These Fancy Nancy books are good for younger children to learn bigger, "fancy" words. My 4 year old seemed to like them, but they are just okay in my opinion. They are not the kind of books that we ever read again.

Fun! submitted by suttonp on July 20, 2022, 9:37am The detailed illustrations make these books work. The fancy words are an extra bonus! Nancy's attitude is the icing on the pastry!
