Fancy Words Are Simply Fascinating!

From everyone's favorite fancy girl comes an alphabetical guide to enhancing vocabulary. Why say beautiful when there are fancy words like gorgeous and glamorous? Instead of hello, try bonjour, which is French and so much fancier. An umbrella will keep you dry, but a parasol will make you feel like a Hollywood movie star!

With this helpful A-to-Z guide, Fancy Nancy shows that making plain words into fancy ones is not only educational, it's fun!

Summary: Fun Way to Build Vocabulary - a review of Fancy Nancy's Fav Words
Comment: We weren't acquainted with Fancy Nancy, but we will definitely be checking out more of her books in the future. (She reminds us a bit of Gooneybird Green: Gooney Bird Greene).

In this book the focus is 'fancy words'. As Fancy Nancy explains, "[W]hen you use one in a sentence, it's like adding sprinkles to vanilla ice cream!"

Generally speaking, the words are great choices: Accessories, Boa, Canine, Dapper, Excursion, Fiasco.... Each is given it's own page, a colorful picture, and a sample sentence, such as: "I dropped all the parfaits. What a fiasco!".

The cover on the hard back is special. It has raised letters that are all fancy and sparkly. Definitely worth a trip to the library. This one will help build vocabulary in a fun way.

The Accelerated Reading level is 3.2 which means that the average 3rd Grader in the second month of school should be able to read it themselves without getting frustrated.

Summary: You get what you expect -
Comment: I am convinced that children (age 6 and 2 - my great nieces) who are read to and children who read go further in life than those who don't. Part of this goes back to their parents. If you think it's too hard for your child
to learn a new word, he/she won't learn it - and young children are like sponges - they soak up new information fast. Fancy Nancy makes learning fun. Little girls like Fancy Nancy. They love hearing the story and reading it by themselves. It's a no brainer. They think books are fun as you do, and Amazon.com is ecstatic too!
