If you've never been introduced to Fancy Nancy, you don't know
what you're missing!  Nancy, besides being fancy, loves glitzy
clothing, the outstanding Mrs. DeVine, her understated (see
below) family, and anything and everything French!

Fancy Nancy is a xenophile (a person who loves foreign people
and foreign things).  She wishes she had a middle name, so that
her monogram (your initials on something to show it's yours)
would have three letters.  She wishes she could go on an
excursion (a special trip) to Paris, which she yearns for (wants
really badly).

All in all, although her mother dresses in an understated (plain)
wardrobe (collection of clothes), she knows that not everyone
can be a Queen (a woman who rules over a kingdom).

What she does know, though, is that by reading this book, your
vocabulary (all the words you know), will be greatly improved!

FANCY NANCY'S FAVORITE FANCY WORDS is a wonderful
addition to the series, and the illustrations by Robin Preiss
Glasser are, as always, just perfect for the story.  This one is a
keeper, especially for young girls who wear tiaras (a crown for a
princess) and understand all about acessories (fancy extra stuff).
