I loved this book...it is so sweet and my own grandbaby "Fancy Nancy" will love it!!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I bought this book for my grand daughter who is five years old and enjoys being read to. She absolutely loves it! Her mother checked out several of the other books in the Fancy Nancy series from our local library, but this is the first one that she actually owns and can keep by her bed for night time reading. Thanks Robin Glasser for all the fun.

This is a cute book. My granddaughters love to put on high heels & dresses & la-de-da around in them & so does Nancy! It's a nice story and the pictures are very colorful. Good buy for all the "Fancy Pants" in your life!

Fancy Nancy is an adorable book for young children. However, I use it to teach "word choice" in writing to upper grade students. It uses "fancy" words for regular words in a cute, fun way!

This is a great book and the illustrations are fabulous!! We bought 3 Fancy Nancy books and enjoy all of them.

This book is cute, fun and entertaining. My daughter is 3 and LOVES to dress up. I've always limited this to at home only, but after reading the book it got me thinking, honestly... why? They're only young once and if it makes her feel good, why not?!?

It's a cute book. We now have 3, Fancy Nancy, Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy, and Fancy Nancy and the boy from Paris. I plan on buying the rest, although I wasn't as into the Posh Puppy or the Bon jour Butterfly ones as she was.

My 16-mo old daughter LOVES LOVES LOVES this book. It is the only one she pulls from the shelf at night. Can't wait to get her the other books!

When I saw the cover and title of this book, I just knew it was perfect for my granddaughter who is just like Nancy! The star of this book doesn't like anything to be "ho-hum"...she dresses fancy, decorates fancy and acts fancy. This book has become a new favorite and since there are several in the series, it should be easy to find a gift when needed. My daughter came home after work the other day to find her girls all dolled up their dress-up clothes and they had even convinced daddy to dress up in a tie so he could be fancy, too! Cute book, great illustrations.

Fancy Nancy is a beautiful story with lively and colorful illustrations! Both of my daughters (ages 7 and 3) love it. The 7-year old loves to read the book over and over and has learned to use the French words from the book in her routine conversations. The 3-year old loves to just look at the illustrations while I read it for her every night. They both can relate to Fancy Nancy.

I originally bought this book because my sister's name is Nancy. I read it to a class of pre-K children. They delighted in Nancy's "fancy" words for everyday things and the wonderfully exotic and sparkling pictures in the book.

This book can definitely enhance a child's vocabulary while helping them relate to a little girl who is different than the rest of her family. I found that the young girls seemed to like the book better than the young boys.

Luckily, my sister Nancy is becoming a grandmother for the first time and will have a grand-daughter she can share her Fancy Nancy books with!

My girls loved reading this book and having it read to them. The illustrations are wonderful and playful. The story is long enough but not too wordy. We have to put it away for a short while every now and then. When it is discovered again, the story delights my girls. Recommended for ages 4 and up.

A family indulges a little girl's wish to be fancy, dress up, and use 'fancy' words. A delightful kindergartener's book.

For any girlie-girl/princess -- she'll love this one! We also have the Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy which is cute too but this one is even better. A great book for girls!

Enjoyable! My four year old loves this book, and wants to be Nancy. This book encourages creativity and vocabulary.

This delightful book is every girl's dream come true--regardless her age! I bought it for my 14 year old daughter (named Nancy), and she loved it--identified completely with this remarkable protagonist who has to suffer through her parents' very un-fancy lifestyle. We're going to give it to her 68 year old grandmother for Mother's Day.

On a larger scale, this book shows a good family working together, supporting each other. My other daughters love it as much as Nancy and I do. I recommend it for all ages.

Both the story and the illustrations are fabulous! I should know...I'm quite the fancy Nancy myself..and my favorite color is purple, too!!

I've bought this for my granddaughter and my favorite little cousin. They love it. Finally, I decided I needed to have one myself, so I went ahead and ordered one for me, too!!!

Positively delightful!!!!

I love this book! A great read aloud. Perfect for girls of any age who enjoy being fancy. The entire series is great. You should get them all.

I got this book for my Fancy Niece for Christmas and she really enjoyed it! She asked for the story to be read to her again after I finished which she hardly never does. I am going to purchase more books in this series.

This story reminded me of myself when I was little. I showed it to my parents and they thought it was a perfect story about little girls who dream to be princesses in their own right.

Buy it as a gift for any little princess young of grown-up!

As an elementary reading and writing teacher, I depend on well-written children's picture books which I use as read-alouds to teach children how to improve their own writing. 'Fancy Nancy' is a WONDERFUL tool for teaching children how 'fancy' words make Their writing 'sparkle' with beautiful, fancy words.

If you have a little "girly-girl" than you have to buy this book! My daughter loves Fancy Nancy and you will too!

If your daughter is over 4, don't buy this. It's for very young girls. The art is beautiful but the text is super duper minimal.

My friend's daughter has already read it 12 times in the past 2 days! She loves it. We feel like it teaches vocabulary as well as a hint of a moral without banging you over the head with it. Very fun and fantastic illustrations! We are both dancers and just love Nancy's poses on every page!

My 3-year-old daughter pulled this one off the shelf at the library and loved it so much we had to buy it. In fact, she has decorated her room with beeds and boas since reading this book. She loves to be fancy and there is nothing wrong with that. She is, in fact, a little girl. She is never disrespectful or unhappy with her family because of this book and it seems a bit over the top that someone would go as far as to say this book teaches children to be that way. It is a fun and beautifully illustrated book that we love to read together. In fact, we have all the Fancy Nancy books and have bought them for her grandmother who is "Fancy Nancy" herself and she loves them just as much!

This is simply a MARVELOUS book! My girls and I love reading the story and we most especially appreciate the illustration. (The boys in our family, secretly adore this book too, hehehehehe!) How wonderful to celebrate being fancy while enjoying the simple things in life... namely: ice cream, sisterhood and loving & supportive parents. Thank you!!!

If you have a little princess or diva in your household, you NEED this book. Fancy Nancy is a funny, cute book. My daughter loves learning new fancy words (Fancy Nancy says "fushia" instead of "purple" because it's fancier.) Great vocabulary enricher as well as entertaining.

This is one of the best children's books ever written. My daughter loves it. I love it, which is great because I have to read it almost everyday. We found it at the library-loved it so much that we ordered it right away. Now we are making sure every little girl we know has this book in her collection.

grandaughter loves it just starting to read calls on phone & we get a bedtime story service & delivery was great thank you

This book is perfect for little girls (or big girls) who love accessories or anything else that is posh. I think it's my new guidebook to life, since I would love to be more fancy, but also learn to appreciate the simple things in life.

this book is perfect for any litle girl who likes to dress up and be a princess. Our daughter absolutely loved the book-as it fits her perfectly!!

WOW - the book came in just a few days. Great service. The book was in good shape and packaged well. THANK YOU!

My 3 year old absolutely loves this book. The first time we checked it out from the library I didn't really think she cared for it much. But, then I happened to order it for one of her little friend's birthday and she was sooo excited! She ran around saying, "it's Fancy Nancy mommy!" It took some convincing to be able to wrap it up for her little friend. Everybody needs a little "fancy" in their life.

I bought this book for my four year old grandaughter and it is now her favorite book. We are now going to have a 'fancy' party at a local restaurant just like Fancy Nancy did. Well written with nice illustrations.

I purchased two of the Fancy Nancy series for my 5 year old granddaughter - she loves them! When the book arrived, along with it's counterpart "Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy", she couldn't wait for us to read them together. She loved the story and the illustrations, and was attracted to the "girly" colors and the "before" and "after" drawings of Fancy's Nancy's bedroom! I think my granddaughter may be a "fancy" girl at heart!

I love this book. I don't know who loves it more. Me or my 2 and 4-year old daughters

My daughter asks me to read this several times a week. She thinks being fancy is the best and Nancy is so good at it! I don't know of many little girls who won't love this book! If she likes to play dress up, this book will be a hit!!

If you have a girl, you have to have this book. My daughter got this book from the library first when she was 2 and we still read it a year and half later...and probably will for a long time to come. We even talk like Fancy Nancy now! The Fancy Nancy books are very sweet and the illustrations are great.

My three girls love this book. (They are the kind of girls who will wear their ballet tu-tus whilst digging in the dirt.) What I love about this book is that Nancy is in a loving family who appreciate her need to express herself. She adores them, and they adore her. The illustrations are beautiful and very creative.

I bought this book because my best friend's name is Nancy. My three year daughter is discovering the frilly side of being a girl and loves to read this book over and over and talk about the pictures. She has even been inspired to dress fancy and dress me fancy. Little girls will relate to this story even though there isn't a deep message. Sometimes a light hearted frilly story is what a girl needs.

I bought this book for my two-and-a-half-year-old niece. Why? It's pink. It's glittery. And the author uses delicious words, which sound so adorable when repeated from my niece's little mouth. Plus, I was able to pair this saucy little tale with a mountain of dress-ups. Feather boas, costume jewelry, and a story about a stylish little girl--what a perfect match!

Eloise doesn't translate to the new millennium. The Plaza's gone to hotel heaven; might we interest you in a condo? Anyway, a spoiled child terrorizing well-meaning employees is no longer charming. (Was it ever?) And as for Eloise's absentee mother....

Still, girls love the core aspect of Eloise: dress-up and pretend. I learned this the hard way when I publicly declared our daughter was destined to go through life as a tomboy. Yes, she was --- when she was three. But now she is five and changing clothes a dozen times a day. And she loves "Fancy Nancy."

"Fancy Nancy" is about to become an industry. There's already a sequel, and I see a slew of books coming, not to mention dolls and accessories. But we still have time to give our daughters a healthy dose of this charming little girl before we're inundated by Nancyana.

What's great about Nancy is that she's no raving beauty. She's got curly hair and a bit of a pudge. What makes her special is her love of frills and bows, satins and silks. She's covered her walls with travel posters and fashion pictures. Her dress-up chest is overflowing. And when we meet her, she's wearing a tutu, ballet shoes --- and a miniature tiara.

Her favorite color: fuscia. Her pen: feathered. Her problem: her family. Very not fancy. "They never even ask for sprinkles."

So Nancy gets a "stupendous" idea. ("That's a fancy word for great.") She'll offer "fancy" lessons.

She puts a note on the refrigerator. Soon there's a knock on her door. Her mother, father and little sister have come to sit at her feet and learn how to be "fancy."

In her parents' room, there's a search for fancy clothes. Of course there are none, so Nancy rushes off for....accessories. And then, with her family hopelessly tarted up, it's out to dinner.

Something happens at dinner to puncture Nancy's grandiosity. In the end, Nancy's a regular girl again. Oh, maybe with a few grand tendencies.

The story's told in short bursts of narrative, all told by Nancy. The illustrations are charming (the sparkles on the cover are especially appreciated). For those who fear the ghost of Eloise has slipped into this next-generation cosmopolitan kid, a real-live 5-year-old and her father can attest that 30 pages of Nancy are not too many at all. And we expect to feel that way until someone here turns 7.

A must have in any young child's library, but particularly for little girls who will appreciate the illustrations of fancy things. I also would use it in my elementary classroom for enjoyment of language and learning of synonyms.
