This review is from: Fancy Nancy: Heart to Heart (Paperback)

Fancy Nancy loves Valentine's Day. Everything about Valentine's Day is fancy! Even better, Fancy Nancy has a Valentine's mystery to solve! Who sent her the mysterious valentine? Can she track down the clues?

Fancy Nancy is a wonderful Valentine's mystery for young readers and parents who enjoy reading to their younger children. The story and illustrations complement each other beautifully. Full of energy, joy and imagination, FANCY NANCY: HEART TO HEART is just the book to share the fun and spirit of Valentine's Day. The book includes a page of glossy Valentine-themed stickers at the end of the story that children can use to make their own special valentines. Although FANCY NANCY: HEART TO HEART is meant for children 4-8 years old, I have to confess that as an adult, what a fun Valentine's present this would be be to receive from a friend or sister! The spirit of the book just captures the fun of being a girl!

This review is from: Fancy Nancy: Heart to Heart (Paperback)

Just in time for Valentine's Day comes Fancy Nancy: Heart to Heart.

For those of you not familiar with the Fancy Nancy series, Nancy is a little girl who loves to be "fancy". She loves to play dress up and enjoys fancy clothes, fancy accessories, fancy activities, and even fancy words. The books are not only beautifully illustrated, but the "fancy words" she uses and explains the meaning of, is the added bonus to these books.

In Fancy Nancy: Heart to Heart, Nancy learns that just about everything for Valentine's Day is "fancy". She receives a secret Valentine, and follows the clues to find out who it is from. In this adorable holiday story, Nancy explains how scrumptious raspberry cream candies are, how gorgeous Valentine cards can be, and what a secret admirer means, for a few of Nancy's "fancy" words. This edition is suppose to have a page of fun stickers included, however it was missing from the library edition that I borrowed. Recommended for ages 4-8, this book is the perfect gift for the special little "fancy girl" in your life. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

My 6 1/2 year old daughter just loves Fancy Nancy books. She is always excited to see them when they come in. Now that she is reading they are more exciting to her. Great book with another, great story line.
