Description

From everyone's favorite fancy girl, Fancy Nancy, comes an alphabetical guide to enhancing your vocabulary. Why say the word beautiful when you can say fancy words like exquisite, gorgeous and ravishing Why use English words like magnificent when the French word, magnifique, sounds so much better And why be understated (that's a fancy word for plain), when you can be fancy and speak words like rejoice, extravaganza, and draperies With this A-to-Z guide from Fancy Nancy, enhancing your vocabulary with big, fancy words is not only educational, it's also fun! Fantabulous praise for Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy: "Fancy Nancy Clancy returns for another fanciful adventure that will please her adoring audience." -Kirkus "Fancy Nancy fans will loudly cheer her return and will be happy to discover that she has not lost a lick of her joie de vivre-or her glitter and glam...Author and artist make a sparkling encore performance." -Publishers Weekly Starred Review Applaudissment for Fancy Nancy: "Exuberance, elan, and lots of heart." -Publishers Weekly "Wonderfully energetic." -School Library Journal
