Beautiful gift beginning first reader.
A trip to the art museum is right up Fancy Nancy's alley -- she gets to see masterpieces! The whole class gets a gentle lesson on what a gallery is; the difference between a still life, a landscape and a portrait; and what it is like to go on a field trip.
I was especially charmed by Nancy's art teacher, Ms. Glass, the epitome -- that's a fancy word for best -- of a great teacher. She wears earrings that look like miniature Alexander Calder mobiles and a smock over her dress decorated with an artist palette and the giant word "Art" on her back. She is kind and funky and listens to kids when they have a tummy-ache on the bus.
Nancy herself is as cute as ever, not only in her girly outfits but also with her boundless enthusiasm. She likes to use big "fancy" words, and French words, too: "'Merci,' I say. That's French for 'thank you.'" At the end of the book is a list of all the fancy words used in the story, with their definitions.
