Fancy Nancy written by Jane O'Connor and illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser

I first saw these books and learned about Fancy Nancy from my nine year old sister. She loved reading these books at school and at home. I think what caught her eye was the front cover of the book. It attracted most girls because it was sparkly, pink and very fancy. What I really enjoyed from the book was that the pictures were not just "fancy" the words were printed in a very unique style of font instead of the regular block font. The whole book had a type of aura about it, which really creates a fun atmosphere for young girls.

The plot line of the book was put together very well. It's about a young girl who uses fancy words when she talks but then tells the audience what they mean. My favorite part of the book is when Nancy's parents are putting her to bed and they say I love you and she says I love you back becuase there is no fancy or better way of saying that. It shows that no matter how you look at things: in a "fancy" or "normal" way I love you always means the same.
