A Modest Momma's Musings "Fall into Fall" Tales Spotlight #3-- Fancy Nancy's Fabulous Fall Storybook Collection




     With a theme focusing on her autumn adventures, Fancy Nancy's Fabulous Fall Storybook Collection is the second storybook collection featuring the extremely popular character created by author Jane O'Connor.  Stories include the following:

1.  Fancy Nancy:  Halloween or Bust-- It's Halloween time, and one can say that this holiday was made just for Fancy Nancy!  Join Fancy Nancy as she creates her most fanciest, fabulous costume for the party!

2.  Fancy Nancy:  Fancy Day in Room 1-A-- A rainy, gloomy Fall week has cast it's spell in Fancy Nancy's classroom.  Can our fabulous heroine cheer up her classmates?

3.  Fancy Nancy:  Splendid Speller-- The self-proclaimed "Splendid Speller" thinks she's going to ace Ms. Glass' spelling test, but when she finds that the test is less than marvelous, she faces a hard decision.

5.  Fancy Nancy:  The 100th Day of School--  The special day marking the 100th Day of School is coming up soon, and the class is assigned special products in celebration of the big day.  But, Nancy is unsure of what to create.  Will she be able to create a truly unique project in time?

6.  Fancy Nancy:  Our Thanksgiving Banquet--- Thanksgiving Day is right around the corner, and the thoughts of Grandma's yummy stuffing, veggies and cranberry sauce are filling Fancy Nancy's head.  Come along as Fancy Nancy and her family gather together to give thanks!

     Each of the six previously published stories is this 186 page hardcover book, is about 32 pages in length, making each story just the right size for emerging readers as well as for read-aloud's during story time.   I have always loved how each Fancy Nancy story enables little ones to learn new vocabulary words in a completely engaging way. Fancy Nancy's Fabulous Fall Storybook Collection does not disappoint, and I look forward to further storybook compilations in the near future to share with all of our Fancy Nancy fans at school!
