I am certain that she will enjoy it ... and dare I give you an additional tip - if she loves the original, do also try Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy. A combination of fancy stuff and puppies! Check it out at: http://ow.ly/5Jrt9 <br /><br />Thanks for your comment!<br /><br />Read Aloud Dad<br /><br />RE: @25d8eba13bfcc62b31efe4959f7619c6 Read Aloud Dadhttp://www.readalouddad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903132716272208853.post-14039147955637381852011-09-18T23:13:52.620+02:002011-09-18T23:13:52.620+02:00You had me at "vocabulary extravaganza,"...You had me at "vocabulary extravaganza," so I'm glad you think boys will like it.

I hope he will have a blast. <br /><br />For some boys, admittedly, it may be difficult to open up to a book like Fancy Nancy - so its good to check it out at the library. <br /><br />However, keep in mind that kids can be self-conscious in public. <br /><br />And boys can easily reject books based on "image" or preconceived notions. <br /><br />Not every boy will react enthusiastically to the idea of checking out Fancy Nancy publicly from a library, in front of their friends or the librarian. If you know what I mean. <br /><br />However, when the book is already at home - barriers sh/could disappear. <br /><br />I'd love to find out how did your Fancy Nancy adventure work with your son!<br /><br />My son loves it!<br /><br />Read Aloud Dad<br /><br /><br />Re: @36fc0f3402a0fd95e462b20ed63e5399 Read Aloud Dadhttp://www.readalouddad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903132716272208853.post-74076884196911469252011-09-18T23:13:51.500+02:002011-09-18T23:13:51.500+02:00Off to the library I went, of course, and picked u...Off to the library I went, of course, and picked up 3 Fancy Nancys today. I cannot believe I had never brought one home before reading this post! As you know, Mélodie and I are working on her English, and thanks to relentless almost exclusively English story times, she is very much improved! She will, however, almost always select a French book though, when given a choice. Tonight, I showed her the Fancy Nancys alongside some French favorites of hers, and she chose Fancy Nancy, based on the girly girl on the cover.<br />How she loved it! We read Fancy Nancy - Pajama Day, and she was mesmerized (that's a fancy word for enchanted, although enchanted seems quite fancy too...:-) It was a perfect read for my 5 year old, she begged for the other 2 right away! I often feel let down by picture book endings, but this one really finished off perfectly, with Fancy Nancy's dilemma solved to everybody's satisfaction (including my daughter's!).<br />At the risk of sounding redundant, thanks again, Read Aloud Dad, for helping me discover a new treasure! I often like to try before I buy when it comes to picture books, but Fancy Nancy is definitely a keeper. Off to place my Amazon order asap!<br />Best,<br />MichelleMichelle Skamenehttp://www.reading-rewards.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903132716272208853.post-56327949280401177412011-09-18T23:13:51.049+02:002011-09-18T23:13:51.049+02:00Hi Michelle,

I can feel your enthusiasm from your words! <br /><br />Mélodie will have the time of her life with her new friend Fancy Nancy, who is indeed such a unique charmer. <br /><br />[You know, you gave a me a book tip too, as we have not read Fancy Nancy - Pajama day yet! I need to find it.]<br /><br />Isn't it amazing, how the perfect book in the hands of a child makes reading (and reading aloud) so effortless? I sense it from your comment, how easy and happy your read-aloud session was. And that's exactly the name of the game. <br /><br />Reading = enjoyment!<br /><br />You said it best, Michelle. Fancy Nancy is definitely a keeper!<br /><br />Thanks for this beautiful comment and for sharing Mélodie's enthusiasm. <br /><br />Dare I admit, I feel as happy as your daughter!<br /><br />Read Aloud Dad <br /><br />Re: Michelle Skamene Read Aloud Dadhttp://www.readalouddad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903132716272208853.post-1357592413492093002011-09-18T23:13:50.628+02:002011-09-18T23:13:50.628+02:00Both my girls and boys have laughed through the fa...Both my girls and boys have laughed through the fancy library! <br /> I , too , was leery and thought Nancy might be a bit consumer oriented,(fancy for selfish).
