Fancy Nancy's Favorite Fancy Words: From Accessories to Zany
Kindergarten-Grade 2&mdash;Nancy is back, and here she encourages her audience to use some "fancy" words. Arranged alphabetically with usually one entry per letter, the terms are introduced. For example, "Fiasco&mdash;a big flop, a disaster. I dropped all the parfaits. What a fiasco!" Instead of dogs, Nancy uses "canine" and substitutes "excursion" for trip. Other fun-filled suggestions include "boa," "tiara," and "wardrobe." The energetic, colorful illustrations entice readers to add sparkle to their conversations and writings.&mdash;Linda Staskus, Parma Regional Library, OHCopyright &copy; Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
