"In the 'culture wars' narrative of the Republican ascendancy, this slippage represents the greatest con in recent history: while you rush to defend marriage or protect the unborn, please pay no attention to the financier behind the curtain." Continue »

Publisher Comments:

Fancy Words Are Simply Fascinating!

From everyone's favorite fancy girl comes an alphabetical guide to enhancing vocabulary. Why say beautiful when there are fancy words like gorgeous and glamorous? Instead of hello, try bonjour, which is French and so much fancier. An umbrella will keep you dry, but a parasol will make you feel like a Hollywood movie star!

With this helpful A-to-Z guide, Fancy Nancy shows that making plain words into fancy ones is not only educational, it's fun!

Review:

"Building on O'Connor and Glasser's bestselling series, ultimate girly-girl Fancy Nancy makes vocabulary glamorous in this A — Z compendium ('That's fancy for collection'). As O'Connor explains in a foreword, 'When you use [a fancy word] in a sentence, it's like adding sprinkles to vanilla ice cream!' The chosen words are generally helpful (hostess, wardrobe, understated) rather than precocious (ooh la la!), and reflect Fancy Nancy's special style. For example, to introduce the word 'improvise,' as in 'I wanted a canopy bed so I had to improvise. I used a sheet, a mop, and a broom,' Glasser shows the minimaven lolling in bed with bonbons and a tea tray, broomsticks supporting a canopy of perfectly ruffled gingham. Ooh la la, indeed! Ages 4-7." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Synopsis:

From everyone's favorite fancy girl comes an alphabetical guide to the most fabulous, gorgeous, and fancy words that is sure to enhance any young fan's vocabulary. Full color.
