Fancy Nancy at the Museum

What a great find and enjoyable book. When the discount department stores are pushing bratty looking dolls in trashy clothes this series of books lets little girls enjoy following a cute and self assured character through adventure after adventure.

Our granddaughter loves this book and what is even better - she loves to read it to us! Nancy is adorable and she typical of a young girl.

I have four little girls and they love fancy nancy. This is a good book for beginning readers

My great niece loves Fancy Nancy and so do I. She s learning French from reading and rereading the books.

A trip to the art museum is right up Fancy Nancy's alley -- she gets to see masterpieces! The whole class gets a gentle lesson on what a gallery is; the difference between a still life, a landscape and a portrait; and what it is like to go on a field trip. I was especially charmed by Nancy's art teacher, Ms. Glass, the epitome -- that's a fancy word for best -- of a great teacher. She wears earrings that look like miniature Alexander Calder mobiles and a smock over her dress decorated with an artist palette and the giant word "Art" on her back. She is kind and funky and listens to kids when they have a tummy-ache on the bus. Nancy herself is as cute as ever, not only in her girly outfits but also with her boundless enthusiasm. She likes to use big "fancy" words, and French words, too: "'Merci,' I say. That's French for 'thank you.'" At the end of the book is a list of all the fancy words used in the story, with their definitions. Like the other Fancy Nancy titles, the cover has glittery sparkles on the artwork and letters.
