Customer Reviews: - Just sometimes, Fancy isn't really Fun!
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!...more info - Perfect for Dog-lovers!
My girls love dogs and we have been discussing the right breed for our family. This is the perfect book for that theme. Very cute!...more info - We Need More Fancy Nancy!
I purchased this book and, Fancy Nancy for my 3 year old daughter. This is by far her favorite book! She really likes the first Fancy Nancy story too. Everyday I ask her if we should read a story, and she comes running to me with her 2 Fancy Nancy book every time. We are both enjoying this series, and I cannot wait for more. I like the way the author writes to children - its easy to understand, and big words are explained - no baby talk like some other children's books....more info - Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy
Beautiful illustrations and a huge hit with my "little princess" who has just learned to read. The scripted print is a little bit of a challenge for new readers, but overall, we loved it!...more info - Precious
My daughter giggled as I read this one! The pictures are, of course, gorgeous and the story is so cute! (Too bad I'm allergic to dogs or we might have had to go find our own Posh Puppy!)...more info - Good lesson on pet care and family
This was the perfect book to show our daughter why the cutest, fuzziest animal wasn't neccessarily the best match for our family and lifestyle. Funny scenes and storyline, Fancy Nancy learns it best to adopt a dog that fits with her family, not her ideal Fancy world....more info - Cute book!
We are very big fans of the Fancy Nancy books and this one is adorable....more info - A Must for Little Girls
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!...more info - Love the Fancy Nancy series!
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 ;-))...more info - Fancy Nancy Returns with Style!
I read (and thoroughly enjoyed) the original "Fancy Nancy." Nancy is a little girl I could relate to, after all, I completely understood what she means when she says, "Its hard being the only fancy person in the family." And Nancy has it easier than I did! I had four brothers and a tom-boy sister! She can only IMAGINE such odds.
You can see I take Nancy to be very real, as the lively, colorful illustrations by Robin Preiss Glasser show her to be. I have seen other children's picture books with almost frightening exagerrated faces. I was scanning for books little girls would enjoy and Fancy Nancy, in both story-lines and appearance is one who would "fit" for a girl "like me."
This simple story highlights the search of Nancy's family for a puppy that will fit their lifestyle. Nancy has an idea to puppy sit for a neighbor's papillon. The Dog Party she hosts is only somewhat successful and Nancy learns an important lesson as a result.
Before you mistake this as all pure fancy, Jane O'Connor also weaves in a fancy vocabulary word or two. Ecstatic (a fancy word for happy) Pappillon (French for Butterfly) and Unique (One-of-a-kind, which Nancy admits may be even BETTER than fancy!)
Once again, Jane O'Connor hits the right mark with this book. Fancy girls, unite and rejoice. There is a book especially for us to enjoy....more info - Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy
Loved reading this to my 5yr. old grandaughter. It introduces new volcabulary. It also is a continuation of other Fancy Nancy Books....more info - Great Addition to Daughter's Personal Library
This is our second Fancy Nancy book. My girls have asked me to read this book to them nearly every evening since we've gotten it two weeks ago. I think they like this one even more than the first one we got (Bonjour, Butterfly). It teaches fancy words like the other book, but also teaches a lesson (that being unique is better than being fancy).
Within reading this book to my 5 year old two times, she already "reads" the book - she doesn't read, yet - as she's memorized various lines according to the illustrations. When she does this I know she loves it!...more info - children's book
My grandaughter absolutely loved this book as well as the Fancy Nancy book that preceded this one. An added bonus is that I'm a Nancy, too!...more info - My daughter loves all of these books !
We have every single Fancy Nancy book and my daughter loves them all. They are fun to read and have great illustrations as well. We hope to see more Fancy Nancy books soon !!...more info - If your daughter insists on being fancy, this is the series to help her learn to be herself, too.
My daughter always tells me that I look like the mother in this story, "you know, not fancy at all." I somehow managed to rear a child who wears pink every day and owns five pairs of fairy wings. While I want to encourage her to be her authentic self, I also want her to think for herself and be thoughtful. The Fancy Nancy series is wonderful in that it celebrates the frilly tendencies in these kinds of personalities, but also teaches responsibility and that being fancy can mean many things.
In this story, Nancy really wants a fancy papillon puppy, but after taking care of it for a while she realizes that it wouldn't be fair to the puppy or her family to get such a delicate dog. The dog whom they do adopt is just as fancy in his own way, and Nancy has a very positive attitude about it. I love that Nancy looks like a real kid playing dress-up, and that she learns from her parents who play an important role in guiding her.
My daughter identifies very much with Nancy, and the story gives us some terrific opportunities to discuss handling disappointment, learning responsibility, and being comfortable with yourself. This is much better than most of the princess and fairy merchandise that is foisted on our kids. ...more info - Granddaughter knows it by heart now
I read it so many times, one time right after another to my 4 year old Gdaughter that she was helping me out when I took too long to turn the page, of all the books that I had for her Fancy Nancy and FN & the Post Puppy are her favorites and mine too....more info - Delightful Book for Daughters!
For Mother's Day this year, I decided to buy my children some special books...this is one of them. A delight from start to finish, we are hooked! More please, and make it FANCY!!!...more info - Fancy meets positive messages....
We also have the first "Fancy Nancy" and I am so pleased that the illustrations are still top notch and the story is innocent but with a message:
1) Solving problems: Nancy dog-sits to "try on" a papillion, while her parents look in resource books for a best breed.
2)Sibling rivlary solution Nancy learns that her younger sister was trying to be helpful while dogsitting and how to get along
3) Adopting a pet. I am a big proponent on shelter adoptions, unless you absolutely have to have a pure breed pet.
The parents of this book show wisdom and patience, while letting Nancy learn social skills without crushing her fancyness.
Can't wait till the next title.

My little girl loves the new Fancy Nancy!
We read it all the time. Great, fun illustrations of Nancy and her family. ...more info - Best one by far
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....more info - Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy
Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy is a most delightful book with wonderful illustration, which any little girl will enjoy. I bought this book for my five-year-old neighbor whom I adore. She has so much in commen with Nancy; expressing herself through some strange combinations of outfits, she then expects me to admire. and through the way she speaks. I just know she will use all the "fancy" words Nancy uses. What's more, her parents got the dog she loves from the animal shelter. Skylar will adore this book and will want the story to be read to her and "read" the pictures by herself over and over again.

This is a classic in my younger sister's bookcase. It's a great story and a quick read perfect for bedtime!...more info - Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy
Exellent condition. Hardcover book for a good price. My granddaughter is in love with this character....more info - Another Fancy Nancy Story
With a daughter named Nancy, I can hardly pass up books with a character like "Fancy Nancy." I would have bought the books for my daughter anyway, but I was pleased to discover how wonderful they are. The first book (called just Fancy Nancy) is a brilliant piece of writing and art with a sweet story that goes well beyond its title. So I was glad to see Ms. O'Connor and Ms. Glasser had put together another volume.
This time out, Nancy and her family are going to get a dog and, after babysitting a neighbor's posh puppy, find a different dog to fit them. Again, it's a nice story and the art is absolutely marvelous. I wasn't quite as touched by the story this time around but I was knocked out by how much I liked the first Fancy Nancy book so it's not too surprising that the second book is a bit of a disappointment. Still, it's a great story and a beautiful book that I will love sharing with my family for years to come....more info - "Posh Puppy" -- what is a posh puppy?
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!

When Fancy Nancy's family decides to get a dog, she's certain she can be fancier than ever with a small fancy dog as an accessory. But her family wants a large, plain dog - can she convince them that for appearance's sake a fancy dog is better? A lively, fun first-person discussion pairs with different drawings by Robin Preiss Glasser to make for a warm story....more info - We love Fancy Nancy!
My 4-year-old daughter loves Fancy Nancy! She didn't like this book quite as much as the first Fancy Nancy book, but she still liked it. Since we've been thinking about getting a dog, this book hits home. It helps kids realize that they have to think about what dog is best for them and their family, not just what dog they think is the cutest/prettiest. Very sweet book....more info
