For all the girls out there I give you: Fancy Nancy Puppy Party written by Jane O'Connor and illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser and Carolyn Bracken. I really wasn't sure what to expect when I read this book. I haven't read any of the other Fancy Nancy books in the series, but I'm not sure if I want to read any more either.
The illustrations are very colorful and detailed. They definitely play up the theme of a very girlie little girl. The story is good, but I'm not sure I liked the way Nancy explained all her fancy words. (Kinda felt a little insulted.) I know that it is suppose to be part of Nancy's personality and all that, but still...
Overall, I do get why some girls will like Fancy Nancy. However, I am not one of them. (Just another reason I am glad I have boys. We get to play with bugs and dinosaurs instead of ribbons and jewelry.)
Favorite line: I am almost positive she's barking in French.
