One of my daughter's favorite stories. I love the vocabulary that Nancy uses. It encourages the kids to learn new words.

Cute story about a Halloween party. Fancy Nancy is going as grapes. She uses balloons for the grapes. It's a cute costume, but disaster strikes and all her balloons pop throughout the night. She figures out a way to deal with it and at the end of the book you get to decorate her with stickers. It's a cute outing. I appreciate Nancy's zest for dressing up. I love that.
It's our last year for Fancy Nancy. The niece has outgrown it and I barely got her to read the story. She said it was ok and then gave it 2 stars. That girl is not afraid to give few stars.
I underestand a costume like the one Fancy Nancy wore. One year for Halloween, I went as a Bubble bath. I wrapped a towel around me and put on pick, blue, and white balloons. My hair was wrapped up in a towel and I had a rubber ducky in my hand. One of the cheapest costumes ever. Also one of the most uncomfortable. I didn't put any balloons on my backside so I was able to sit down. People did love the costume, but it was hard to move and tiring. Still, I did have fun. Balloons are not the way to go, or you only do them once. I might have had a few pop, but not many. They weren't blown up too big and so they could take a beating. Driving was the toughest party. I barely fit behind the wheel.

Fancy Nancy: Halloween… or Bust! will definitely be a treat for young readers on Halloween.
In Fancy Nancy: Halloween… or Bust! Fancy Nancy prepares for a Halloween party. Of course, her costume must be fancy! After trying on several costumes, Nancy decides to go to a Halloween party as a grape. Fancy Nancy runs into trouble, however, when the purple balloons on her costume start popping.
Even though many picture books take the main character and throw together a holiday book, I think this book definitely stands out among the rest. Nancy’s fashion sense fits perfectly in with the plot of the book–finding the most fabulous Halloween costume. Even though the book isn’t written by Fancy Nancy’s creator, the book appears consistent with the other Fancy Nancy books.
One of my favorite aspects of the Fancy Nancy series is Nancy’s colorful language. She always sneaks in synonym within her speech. I think this is a great way to expose young readers to more advanced vocabulary in a fun way, but also give Nancy an interesting and unique personality.
Another aspect of this book that I really enjoyed was the sticker activity in the end that involved the reader in the story. Even though my used copy already had the last page filled out, I think readers will love dressing up one of their favorite children’s book characters in an amazing costume.
Fancy Nancy is a solid Halloween book for young readers. With a fun main character and additional sticker activity, I give this book four out of five stars.
