Fancy Nancy

Product Information

In Nancy's opinion, her family is ordinary and dresses rather plainly, so Nancy decides to hold a class in the art of fanciness for her family. They oblige, and Nancy helps to dress them in bows, ornaments, top hats, and gaudy scarves. "Ooo-la-la!" Nancy cries in delight. "My family is posh! That's a fancy word for fancy."

Being the mom of a 7-year-old girl means I’m at war with most things pink and frilly. To some, this might seem like an odd approach to raising a daughter, but when the world continually tells girls that they must always be pretty, polite, and solely interested in princesses and makeup, it’s normal to intentionally look for ways to counteract that message. My daughter has been exposed to her fair share of Disney princesses and classic fairy tales, but when I choose new books for us to read, I try to avoid stories that push stereotypical ideas about what it means to be a girl. So you can imagine the apprehension I felt when my daughter developed a fascination with a character called Fancy Nancy. Initially, O'Connor and Glasser signed a contract for two books with HarperCollins, but after the success of the first book, they later signed to do 13 additional Fancy Nancy titles across a variety of formats. [7] Since then, they've collaborated on 80 titles.

How Nancy transforms her parents and little sister for one enchanted evening makes for a story that is funny and warm—with or without the frills. This heartwarming story emphasizes the importance of family and the power of self-expression. Nancy captures hearts by nearly getting caught up in the glitter, but, in the end, always discovering what's truly important. a b "Breaking News - "Fancy Nancy," The New York Times Bestselling Series, Optioned for Original Animated TV Movie and Series, Slated for Premiere in 2017 on Disney Junior | (Press release)".

Fancy Nancy has spawned a line of toys and games focusing on dress-up and role play targeted towards preschoolers and children aged 5 to 7. In addition, the Fancy Nancy brand includes licenses for clothing, paper party goods, crafts, and more. Numerous bookstores and libraries around the United States have hosted events including readings by both Jane O'Connor and Robin Preiss Glasser, costume contests, “Fancy Nancy” days and tea parties. [2] At first glance, Fancy Nancy is the definition of a “girly-girl.” On the covers of the books, she’s often wearing dresses, heels, and sparkles. The “A” in the title Fancy Nancy is topped with a crown. I was fully prepared to open the first book and find another mundane story about a little girl whose biggest passions are tutus and jewelry. But that’s not what I found at all, and I’ll be the first to admit that I was totally wrong about Fancy Nancy.
