*NOW A HIT TV SERIES ON DISNEY JUNIOR*

The bestselling picture book that launched the beloved Fancy Nancy series by the dazzling duo Jane O'Connor and Robin Preiss Glasser!

Meet Nancy, who believes that more is ALWAYS better when it comes to being fancy. She loves to wear fancy clothes, play with fancy toys, and most of all, use fancy words! But everyone in her family is just the opposite. From the top of her tiara down to her sparkly studded shoes, Nancy is determined to teach her family a thing or two about being fancy.

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.

O'Connor, Jane: -

Jane O'Connor was born and raised in the fabulous metropolis of New York City. That's where she still lives with her husband, Jim, although both their grown sons did something unfathomable (that means impossible to understand). They moved to the West Coast!

Recently retired, she finds herself with something she never had before--free time to do whatever she pleases.
