About this audiobook

Paris, France, is the fanciest city in the world. When Ms. Glass tells the class that the new student is from Paris, Nancy cannot believe her luck. Nancy brushes up on her fanciest French words. She is ready to make a new ami. (In French that means friend.) But Robert would rather talk about horses than the Eiffel Tower. Robert may not be as fancy as Nancy, but that doesn't mean they can't have fun!

    Nancy just met a new ami (that’s French for friend) and he is from PARIS! Nancy is so excited to meet someone from Paris. She is showing him all her books on France and tries to teach him all the new things he might encounter in a new country. He tells her all about going to the Eiffel tower and how much he misses home. But this Parisian may not be as fancy as Nancy expects.This Fancy Nancy is an I Can Read! book for beginning reading (level 1). There are quite a few words to each page (close to a dozen or more) for an early reader book but it is very engaging none the less. The story line used in this book is one a lot of young children can relate to as they are starting school and making new friends (and of course it is always great to help children broaden their vocabulary). At the end of the book there is a page that tells the “fancy” words that are used in the book and what they mean. Half of each page is dedicated to an illustration. The backgrounds of the images are not very detailed making the characters who are there stand out in sharp relief. Each picture appears to be a watercolor painting. The way the color is used allows the pictures to seem nearly three dimensional. This book is a perfect choice for beginning readers.

    Very cute! I love the way in which Nancy uses (an introduces) "fancy" words! Great way to help children expand their vocabulary!

    Fancy Nancy is back and thrilled to find out that the new boy in her class hails all the way from Paris. Nancy, who loves all things French, can't wait to make friends with Robert. They hang out at school and at home, where eventually Nancy learns that Robert is from Paris, Texas - not Paris, France. All's well that ends well though, because Nancy has a new friend!Like with the other Fancy Nancy books, this is a short and sweet book that holds children's attention. (Despite what many say about these being "girly" books, I have found that young boys will sit there just as rapt as the young girls when you read these books to them.) There's always a little bit a lesson tucked inside this series, but it's never overly didactic. And, of course, Nancy's penchant for using "fancy" words is always great for boosting children's vocabulary!

    Fancy Nancy has expanded into picture books. She's not quite as good in this format, but still very fabulous.

    This sweet book that's an I Can Read book based off of the popular Fancy Nancy book plays around with how much Nancy loves Paris and how confusing it can be when you don't hear all the information. Since there's a new boy in Nancy's class but she comes to class late so only hears that he's from Paris not Paris, Texas. The story follows as they become friends with the humor coming through as Nancy asks him about Paris. This is a book that does a good job of interjecting more difficult vocabulary into an easy to read story so that readers from 1st grade to 2nd will all find something for them. Also the joyful and colorful illustrations make it a fun book to look through and read along with since there are many details that a young reader can find.

    There's a new boy in Nancy's class from Paris and of course Nancy wants to know all about Paris. She befriends the boy and learns new French words before discovering that the boy is from Texas, not France.Fancy Nancy will always win me over. I adore the character of Nancy and her love of fancy things. This book is a level 1 I can read book, meant for new readers and filled with simple sentences. Kids can learn some French words including, "ami", "bonjour" and "belle". Great book for new readers, I highly recommend!
