Perfect for kids ages 4 to 8, this latest installment in the Fancy Nancy storybook line continues the little girl's charming and oh-so-posh adventures.

The plot is about Nancy's neighbor Ms. DeVine, who used to live in Hollywood and see lots of movie stars. Ms. DeVine lets Nancy borrow her scrapbook filled with celebrity photographs, some of them autographed. The starstruck Nancy spends the rest of the day impersonating a movie star, then stays up late under the covers looking at the scrapbook: "I stay up very late. It is almost ten o'clock when I put away the scrapbook and turn off my flashlight! I bet even celebrities don't stay up this late!" Needless to say, Nancy is very tired--exhausted!--and regrets her late night.

Aside from the gentle message, it's the little details will make you a Fancy Nancy fan. The illustrations, pen and ink over vibrant watercolor, are packed with fun and realistic details. Ms. DeVine's tiny dog Jewel is enamored of an autographed (with a pawprint) photo of Rin Tin Tin. Nancy gives an autograph to her own dog. Nancy's doll is dressed exactly like Nancy.

Like all the books in this series, throughout are simple words with their corresponding "fancy" equivalents: veranda for porch, celebrities for movie stars, fascinating for interesting.

Other good Fancy Nancy books include:

Fancy Nancy: Bonjour, Butterfly,

Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy,

Fancy Nancy: Tea Parties,

Fancy Nancy: Splendiferous Christmas and

Fancy Nancy: Explorer Extraordinaire!.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lesson: Staying up too late has negative consequences, April 18, 2011

By

Cute story.

Does it teach kids how to stay up late (and hide it from parents) or that staying up has negative consequences?

Only time will tell.
