Such a sweet story in which, once again, Nancy is a great role model! She shows kindness to her little sister by sacrificing to get her sister a birthday gift. I am so happy to read these stories to my own kids.
I think the comprehension level on this book was somewhat higher than the other stories. G had a hard time following the story, but could understand the feelings of little sister, Jojo. We will have many rereads, I am sure, so she will eventually get it.

This was actually one of my least favorite Nancy books. The illustrations were beautiful; however, I didn't really like the storyline.
My four year old daughter enjoys the Fancy Nancy series of books. I enjoy the fact that she learns and uses new vocabulary from them. I think they would be good to use to teach word choice and vocabulary in the classroom, though not sure boys would appreciate as much!
Another cute book in this series. Nancy buys a present for her sister and sees a beautiful lace fan that she wants to buy. She decides to sell a lot of her old frippery. All is well until little sister wants the same necklace that a friend has asked Nancy to hold for her.
Again, there is lovely language in all these books, and there are nice little moral lessons. Despite not being a person particularly interested in fashion (etc.), I'm more than happy for my grandchildren to enjoy them, and I'm pleased to recommend them for sale in the bookshop in which I work.

In Fabulous Fashion Boutique, the Clancys have a yard sale the week before Nancy's little sister JoJo's birthday. When Nancy sells a necklace that JoJo really wanted instead of giving it to her for her birthday, she realizes her mistake and buys it back instead of saving her money for the fancy fan she wanted. JoJo is thrilled and their parents reward Nancy by buying her the fan. Nancy and JoJo are just the sweetest and it's a nice message about doing good things and good things will come back to you.

I kind of missed the princess bug as a child (I was much more the prince type--you have to be if you're the oldest, and for a long time the tallest of three sisters and you're going to play pretend games together--games with all female characters have their limitations), and so I find it very hard to understand this stuff. I don't mind it on the whole--I have my own princess moments, stylistically speaking, as an adult--but when it becomes a case of encouraging children to be obsessed with shopping and having things, that worries me. And kid yard sales are a recipe for disaster. I like Fancy Nancy better when she's focusing on pretentious manners and art.

There is something very charming about the combination of fancy writing here with big vocab words and the fancy, lush, illustrations. Nancy is a charmer and, as this book shows, a great big sister. Lots of fun!
Fabulous! I love these books. I think of my daughter every time. She likes these stories.
Another cute addition to the Fancy Nancy series. How is Fancy Nancy going to make some money?
