1) Hardcover Book Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy (Fancy Nancy) by HarperCollins. Fancy Nancy is delightful & this book does not disappoint. One very clever note I wanted to point out to all of you parents reading this book to your daughters...Nancy´s dad says the dog is a LaSalle Spaniel - if you turn back a couple of pages you´ll see that the animal shelter is the "LaSalle Street Animal Shelter" - TOO cute (I missed it the first few reads ;-))¤ 2) Hardcover Book Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy (Fancy Nancy) by HarperCollins. I was a little disappointed with Bonjour Butterfly so I was hesitant to buy this one however upon reading it, I was quickly relieved!! It is adorable and has a good message too.¤ 3) Hardcover Book Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy (Fancy Nancy) by HarperCollins. Fancy Nancy is about to get a new dog! Of course, her dog must be the fanciest -- a really Posh Puppy. When Nancy dog-sits a really Posh Pup, she realizes that he´s not the right dog for her. (I guess those visits to the salon can get pretty old!)
There´s a great lesson here when Nancy and her family go to the animal shelter to find a dog to rescue. Oh, his name is Fancy because it´s Frenchy, and all´s well that ends well.
Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy is a wonderful example of the beautiful writing and illustrations that make this series so popular with young readers. Very, very recommended!¤ 4) Hardcover Book Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy (Fancy Nancy) by HarperCollins. It´s not bed time without hearing my four year-old beg for Fancy Nancy. Delightfully written, these books introduce great vocabulary and the illustrations are beautiful. We have spent a lot of time getting "fancy" at our house, which has truly helped develop my daughter´s creativity and imagination. Makes a great gift paired with an outfit for dress up!¤ 5) Hardcover Book Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy (Fancy Nancy) by HarperCollins. Or Fancy Nancy goes to the animal shelter
...but not until she "tries out" a posh puppy. Writer Jane O´Connor and illustrator Robin Preiss Glasser have teamed again to create another winner in the Fancy Nancy series, a personal favorite. (Meaning: I buy a copy for my school library with library money and for me with my money and another copy for my great-niece!)
Fancy Nancy Clancy establishes herself in the first book, Fancy Nancy: 2009 Wall Calendar as the only member of her family who likes to dress "fancy." Nancy´s neighbor Mrs. DeVine is also fancy, revealing the possible source of the posh-ity. (Pardon the use of the wall calendar to exemplify the first book. I used it because the little product insertion button did not produce a copy of the first book but instead a calendar based on the book. Go figure.)
At any rate this fascination with poshness is a wonderful opportunity for detailed artwork created by the talented Robin Preiss Glasser, who uses the most feminine art to represent Fancy Nancy. As a former ballet dancer, she injects so many little ballet items into the story. I delight in this story as much for the art as the story. Little girls feel the same way. It´s a popular and beloved series.
In this story Fancy Nancy wants a papillon just like Mrs. DeVine´s Jewel. She lets Nancy puppysit to test her out. What a disappointment. This is not a dog--it´s a pampered little living doll. After Jewel excretes her stomach contents onto Nancy´s dress, they take her back to Mrs. DeVine. Nancy´s parents take a bedraggled, disappointed Nancy to the local King´s Crown for dinner. Nancy is so sad she cannot even walk on her toes.
But Mom has a surprise. After dinner they go to the local animal shelter to get a real puppy. Of course, Nancy asks for a fancy dog--and gets one. This perfect dog satisfies everyone: curly hair for fancy, medium size and lively for everyone else. She is Frenchie, a LaSalle Spaniel and is the perfect "fancy" dog.
I rarely summarize the entire story, but decided this series is just right for such a move. Every message is perfect. Nothing fancy here--just supportive and thoughtful parents, a favorite older neighbor, diverse friends, and acceptance of people for who and what they are. And in this particular story, a visit to the animal shelter for adoption. What a grand series! Nothing fancy there except this delightful little girl!
¤ 6) Hardcover Book Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy (Fancy Nancy) by HarperCollins. Fancy Nancy is back! And when her family decides to get a dog, she´s certain she can be fancier than ever. After all, a papillon—a small, delicate, fluffy dog—is the ultimate accessory. But her family wants a large, plain dog. How unglamorous! With Fancy Nancy´s trademark humor and warmth, Nancy discovers that real fanciness does not depend simply on appearance but more on a genuine joie de vivre, which is a fancy phrase for having lots of fun. ¤Page Updated: Robert N.
