Review: This warm and funny story introduces us to Nancy, the little girl who believes everything is better when it is fancy! Deciding her family needs to learn how to be fancy as well, Nancy offers lessons for which her parents and sister quickly sign up. They soon learn how to be more fancy in everything from the way they talk to the way they dress, and so they head out for a fun-filled fancy dinner. A messy mishap soon puts a damper on Fancy Nancy’s spirits, but it’s nothing that an ice cream sundae – or as Nancy would say, a parfait – and some love from her parents can’t fix! In this 10th Anniversary Special Edition, readers not only get the Fancy Nancy book that started it all, they also get a free music download (with lyrics in the back of the book) from the hit Fancy Nancy musical!
