When is an ABC book more than an ABC book? When it’s Fancy Nancy’s Favorite Fancy Words from Accessories to Zany. Jane O'Connor brings her character of Fancy Nancy back to delight us with a whimsical romp through delightful words. Kids and parents alike will smile as they read through Fancy Nancy's favorite's like glamorous, lavender, and Xenophile (zen-o-file)- "a person who loves foreign people and foreign things."

Each of the words in Fancy Nancy’s Favorite Fancy Words from Accessories to Zany. has a definition, is used in a sentence, and has an absolutely delightful illustration penned by Robin Press Glasser. Robin's illustrations are detailed and frilly without being fussy or overdone. each time you come back to a page, some other little detail catches your eye to make you smile.

If you and your children have a love of words (logophiles), you will delight in this alphabet book. We loved it enough to give it our highest rating. Fancy Nancy’s Favorite Fancy Words from Accessories to Zany. receives The ClassBrain Networthy Award for excellence. This is a book we think everyone should have in their library.
