Children's Book Review: Fancy Nancy's Favorite Fancy Words


Written by Jane O'Connor
Illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser

This is only our first Fancy Nancy book. However, Nancy is the typical girly girl. She dresses up plays pretend and takes full advantage of her imagination, all while embracing all things fancy. In this book, Nancy introduces children to 26 very fancy words. Some they are familiar with, but many they are not, for instance "Repondez s'il vous plait", to you and I, RSVP. My own little girly girl was completely taken in by the brilliant illustrations while we read, totally identifying with the character. She wants to be, and in many ways already is, just like Fancy Nancy. This darling little book encourage imagination, pretend, and builds vocabulary.

Here are a few other Fancy Nancy titles to check out if you enjoy this one as much as we did.
