Fancy Nancy

Written by Jane O'Connor and Illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser
Meet Nancy, who believes that more is ALWAYS better when it comes to being fancy. She loves to wear fancy clothes, play with fancy toys, and most of all, use fancy words! But everyone in her family is just the opposite. From the top of her tiara down to her sparkly studded shoes, Nancy is determined to teach her family a thing or two about being fancy.

How Nancy transforms her parents and little sister for one enchanted evening makes for a story that is funny and warm—with or without the frills. This heartwarming story emphasizes the importance of family and the power of self-expression.
