A young girl who loves fancy things helps her family to be fancy for one special night.

"In her chapter book debut, Nancy Clancy must find the culprit when a prized possession goes missing at school"--

On her mother's birthday, Nancy gives her a total beauty makeover in the yard outside, which she has converted into a fancy salon.

Nancy, who likes to use fancy words, is excited to wear her elegant nightgown for Pajama Day at school, until best friend Bree and schoolmate Clara impress everyone by wearing matching pink polka-dot pajamas.

When Nancy's friend Bree gets some glittery glasses to help her see better, Nancy, who likes to be fancy, wants to wear glasses too.

Nancy is delighted that the new boy in her class is from Paris and sets out to become his friend, then discovers that this Parisian is not quite as fancy as she had thought.

Fancy Nancy provides one or more of her favorite fancy words for each letter of the alphabet, defines them, and uses some in sentences that show what they mean to her, such as that she yearns--wants really badly--to visit Paris someday.

Nancy is about to lose her first tooth, but if she can prevent it from falling out until she arrives at school she will get a special necklace from the nurse.

"Fancy Nancy's closet is bulging (that's a fancy way of saying it won't close). Nancy's mom thinks she should give away some of her tutusbut Nancy knows a fancy girl can never have too many tutus! But when Ms. Glass tells her class they will have a fancy swap-and-shop at school, will Nancy bring in some tutus to trade? And what happens when she finds the tutu of her dreams?"--Amazon.com.
