Fancy Nancy - Christmas Fancy Style!

Fancy Nancy Splendiferous Christmas Fancy Nancy, what an adorable "fancy girl" she is, and wait until you read about her Christmas! Presents with elegant wrapping paper, fancy cookies, and wait until you see the tree topper Nancy purchased with her own money. But me things go awry, can Nancy still have a "splendiferous Christmas"? MY THOUGHTS - This book is so very adorable. Targeted for the (4-8) age group, the book is beautifully illustrated by: Robin Preiss Glasser. There are some great new words for the little readers as well: * aroma - nancy says: "a fancy word for smell" * heirlooms - nancy says: "fancy for thinks that are old and valuable". * delectable - nancy says: "fancy for yummy". * pleading - nancy says: "like begging only fancier" AND........ * splendiferous - nancy says " only one word describes how magnificent, joyous and sparkly Christmas morning is" Truly a delightful holiday read for children (and adults too)!

Reading Fancy Nancy Will Make You Smarter!

I bought my granddaughter, Mary Mace, her first Fancy Nancy book when she was just 3 years old in 2007. She fell head over high heels in love with the witty, sparkly Nancy and her over-the-top ways. Since January of 2007, I have bought her every Fancy Nancy book and she devoured them, memorizing the story as her mother read them to her. When she got this book last week, she immediately called me. She's now almost 6 years old and in kindergarten. She said, "Grammy, I love, love, love the new Fancy Nancy book. It's utterly splendiferous!" I laughed and asked her about the story and she told me all about it. Then my daughter got on the phone and told me that Mary Mace was recently tested and promoted to a first grade reader because she's so far ahead of the other children. Her teacher was amazed by how many 'big' words Mary Mace knew. My daughter and I both agreed that Fancy Nancy played a huge part in expanding Mary Mace's vocabulary. Each book is full of exciting, fun words and synonyms and the artwork is fabulous and glittering. If you're looking for a book to make a little girl extremely happy this year for Christmas, I highly recommend this book and all of the Fancy Nancy books. They're not only fun, but also educational!

A Christmas Classic

What little girl does not love bling, glitter and Fancy Nancy? The illustrations are "splendiferous" and the story line endearing. It will definitely become a Christmas Classic.

Fancy Nancy does Christmas

Tada another great Fancy Nancy story. Fancy Nancy takes on Christmas where the more decorations the merrier. From decorating the house, to buying the tree at Bruces Spruces, to the elegantly wrapped presents, Christmas is done up Fancy Nancy style--splendiferously. If you are familiar with the Fancy Nancy series then you can see the appeal she holds for young and old alike. This book is just a Joyeux Noel of Christmas.

Christmas Fancy Nancy Style - perfect!

What an adorable book! I've been waiting for a Christmas related story of our favorite fancy girl, and this did not disappoint at all. Yet again, Nancy is perfectly fancy, perfectly eloquent, and and perfectly heartwarming. We are huge fans of both Fancy Nancy and Christmas in our house, and this book is a perfect addition to our holiday collection. A must for all Fancy girls out there!
