Fancy Nancy: The Show Must Go On is part of Harper Collins' "I Can Read" series. In this book Fancy Nancy and her best friend Bree are excited to perform their trapeze act together during the talent show only to find out that their teacher has assigned partners for the show. At first Fancy Nancy and her partner, a shy boy named Lionel, can't think of anything that they could do together for the show, and Nancy is sad that she will not be able to wear her fancy circus costume. When Nancy visits L...more
I read the original Fancy Nancy book to my nieces, and, at the time, thought that the effect of Nancy stopping every other word to explain that "That's a fancy word for so-and-so" was a little annoying. Having now read several of the early readers, I can honestly say that it is MUCH less annoying when you're not the one reading the book aloud!

We've read many of the books in the Fancy Nancy series and our girls just love them, especially my youngest. The stories offer some sort of moral in a fairly subtle way and introduce new vocabulary, so I like them too. This tale depicts Nancy and a boy in her class who are chosen to be partners for the class talent show. They couldn't be more different, but they discover that they can work together to come up with a terrific act. I would consider this a "Level 2" book, but our youngest was up to...more
Another one with good lessons for elementary school kids. Nancy wanted to be paired with her best friend for the talent show, but the teacher assigned partners instead, and she has no talents in common with her new partner Lionel. I like that Nancy's dad suggests she invite Lionel over so they can get to know each other, and it works—they find a way to put their talents together perfectly, and make friends in the process.
Fancy Nancy gets seperated from her best friend to be a partner with a shy boy she doesn't know well. As they prepare for the show they see how much fun they can have together if they just take time to get to know each other. And in Fancy Nancy style you will learn lots of "fancy" words while enjoying a charming little story that includes a "man-eating-lion"!

Nancy is assigned to work with Lionel. She doesn't know much about him, but learns while visiting his house that he loves lions. Lionel will act as the lion as she will be the tamer for the talent show.
This is a great book to tie into talent show preparation.
There is a glossary of fancy words in the back of the book.

This is a great book. In this book Nancy meets one of her classmates that she has never talked to before. She is surprised at how much they get along becuase she's never talked to him before. This story would be great to read to your class and then split them up with classmates they don't usually hang out with.
Perhaps one of the better Fancy Nancy stories as it presents a very important lesson that people can be quite interesting and full of surprises once you take the time to know them. Boys and girls alike will especially enjoy the chase scenes between Lionel and Nancy.
So recently, my daughter has become extremely interested in Fancy Nancy. So, we have been reading some of the Fancy Nancy series. This series is lots of fun and all the heart warming moments are a nice touch to the rather flouncy, fancy moments.
Another good addition to the Fancy Nancy series. Nancy's befriending of shy Lionel was handled well and realistically. As was the lesson of learning to be flexible and think outside of the box.
We love Fancy Nancy. She so wanted to wear her circus costume and hooray - where there is a will, there is a way!
My one major qualm with this book is that it should not be a level 1. There are difficult words even on the first page, so perhaps it would be better as a level 2. In this book Nancy and a boy in her class who are chosen to be partners for the class talent show. They learn to work together to come up with a talent act. Good moral messages about tolerance, and working together.
Another good book from my daughter's favorite series. A good book the learn about compromise and empathy.
An Easy to read Fancy Nancy book although some of the fancy words are not that easy to read!
This book is useful for helping students with their descriptive writing.
There is going to be a talent show Mrs. Glass is going to pick partners.
My daughter Loves the Fancy Nancy books and learning new words.

I love Fancy Nancy books! The stories are always adorable, and I like how students can learn higher level words and learn to use them in their writing. Boys seem to love Fancy Nancy as much as the girls!

Since the publication of Fancy Nancy, Jane O'Connor's closet now boasts so many boas, tiaras, and sparkly ensembles that sometimes friends do not recognize her on the street. She still resides (that's a fancy word for lives) in New York City with her family and their canine companion, Arrow. --from the publisher's website
