And she has remarkably supportive parents - just look at their shopping list! Milk, eggs, bread, fuschia hair mousse. 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. Now, more than ever, I'm really glad I started reading these books! This is a sweet little book with a nice overall message and lovely pictures to look at. But she's also just a little girl, and subject to the emotions and pitfalls of childhood. Nancy is quite a character, flamboyant and stylish, a kid who really knows what she likes. Maybe if I'd read them in hardcover (or read them first) I might've liked them more than I did. I haven't been as enamoured with some of the other Fancy Nancy picture books. I loved watching JoJo copy everything Nancy did she obviously looks up to her big sister! The book is fairly large, so it's easy (and fun!) to look at all the wonderful stuff going on in all the pictures. I think I appreciated reading this in hardcover more than I would've in e-book format. But after a little mishap, Nancy realizes that being fancy is not the most important thing, and that love-which needs no fancier word-is even better. They play along, getting all dolled up and eventually going out to the local pizza parlour for dinner like royalty. So she tries to change that by giving her family (her mom, dad, and younger sister) lessons in being fancy. The premise is that Nancy is a fancy little girl.

We even get to see Nancy's bedroom before she made it fancy. We started with Fancy Nancy, which is apparently where the whole story begins. My mom said my sister and I probably would've loved these books when we were little, and I concur (that's fancy for 'agree'). Last night, my mom and I sat down together to read some children's picture books. It was time to turn to the hardcovers, so I reserved a few. I've been working my way through our library's collection of Fancy Nancy e-books, but I'm getting close to the end.
