Summary: Yuk -- It should be titled 'Nancy Gets Motion-Sick"
Comment: We didn't like this book. It wasn't about a museum at all; it was about getting motion-sickness on a bus trip. On the way to the museum for the class trip, Nancy's friend is feeling sick. Later during the trip, Nancy feels sick. They pull over to the side of the road and an adult helps Nancy while she's throwing up. Her clothes get messed up and she has to wear something else for the rest of the trip. We all felt a little sick after reading the book. Yuk. This was a book that we read only once and then put in the give-away box. I wish I had previewed it before buying it. I'll be sure to do that with Fancy Nancy books in the future.

Summary: Oh la la! We're going to a museum to see masterpieces!
Comment: What is there not to like about Fancy Nancy! Since this series began, young readers (and their parents) have held in their hands someone precious and pretty and sweet and fancy. The artwork is simply adorable and utterly feminine in depicting the precious and precocious Nancy.
With this reader, Fancy Nancy joins the I Can Read! group of books. At Level 1 (which this book is) the reader is offered "simple sentences for eager new readers." However, a little more is added: "big" words and French words, making this book a wonderful learning experience, from fancy clothes, art terms, a field trip, and the slogan: Kindness is practiced here, through Ms Glass's generosity in sharing her art shirt and beret with Nancy after her disaster.
Nancy and the other children learn the meaning of landscapes (as they view them), still lifes, and portraits. They learn merci, oh la la, spectacular, beret, gallery, masterpiece, observant. Obviously, this book is more than a repetitive reader. It challenges above level, a strategy that pushes learning without being ridiculous.
Parents and librarians, if you haven't seen Fancy Nancy books, please look into these titles: Fancy Nancy Loves! Loves!! Loves!!! (Fancy Nancy), Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy (Fancy Nancy), and the next reader: Fancy Nancy and the Boy from Paris (I Can Read Book 1).
Your daughters will love this charming little girl. And I believe you will, too!

Summary: Fancy Nancy's bus trip- better title
Comment: My daughter loves the Fancy Nancy books. I was disappointed with this one however. I expected a story about the artwork Nancy saw at the museum. Instead it is more about her getting sick on the bus trip. I would suggest skipping this one...
