About The Book: The Dazzling Book Report
Fancy Nancy books are always fun to read! This time, Nancy is working on her book report about Sacajawea. You know, a princess who lived two hundred years ago out West. What happens next is that Nancy only manages to write two sentences for her report before falling fast asleep. Yet, she produces a masterpiece of artwork by using beads, fringe and a fancy border for her cover. Her teacher is very kind to give Nancy a chance to share in class what the book is all about. Crestfallen and Biography are just a few of the big words children will learn!
**** stars!
Fancy Nancy books are a magnet for little girls because the stories are delightful. The main character, Nancy (modern diva) is full of frills and so colorfully illustrated in bright details. Each story has a straight forward lesson, while the books are educational, too. So, teachers will love these cute books as well. I recommend these books to you and can't wait to read them along with my new granddaughter when she grows up. Buy it!
