I found this book to be interesting as it was very different than most books. This book was about a little girl who is preparing a spa for her mom as it is her birthday and they wish to please her. She wishes to go all out and utilizes her imagination to make her spa extraordinary and fancy. I think this book is perfect for little girls who are girly in like the fourth grade. Some of the words may be kind of hard as the vocabulary for beauty stuff can be pretty hard to read. However, i think tha...more
The adorable Fancy Nancy is back! Since it's her mom's birthday, Nancy decides to set up a super fancy spa in their backyard in order to pamper Mom and have her looking gorgeous before the big birthday celebration. There's a recipe for a Fantastique Face Mask and a Soothing Sea Salt Foot Soak, tips for a marvelous manicure, a recipe for some spa cuisine (Yum Yum Yogurt Parfait) and instructions for a crafty and cute "Mom" headband using pipe cleaners and sequins.
Another Fancy Nancy winner for me...more

I'm sort of surprised to see this Fancy Nancy book in my school collection. (I'm a first year librarian so I'm really getting to know what's on my shelves.)
Fancy Nancy decides to give her mom a spa day for her birthday. This book includes a plot about Nancy's mom's makeover and her hairstyle gone wrong. It also has how-to instructions and tips for facial masks, braiding, and painting fingernails. Girly girls will love these age-appropriate tips. That being said, it seems a bit strange to provid...more

Very cute! I was introduced to Fancy Nancy from my dear friend Nancy through Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy. I enjoyed that one and I really adored this one. In Fancy Nancy Ooh La La! It's a Beauty Day readers are brought into a great day interaction between mama and daughter. It's Mama's birthday and Nancy is doing everything to make a it a perfect "beauty day". Tips, tools, and recipes are all through out each step of the beauty process complete with fancy terminology and a great learning voca...more
Another one of the "educational" type Fancy Nancy books, focusing more on a certain topic than on a story. Nancy, in this volume, gives her Mom a Spa Day of her own design in preparation for her parents' date night. It was cute, not my favorite, but probably would be very appealing to young girly-girls. I appreciate these Fancy Nancy books because they ask kids to be active and creative and are full of recipes, activities and enough story to keep it interesting.
Fancy Nancy is so much fun to read! The author has written her as such an adorable character you just can't wait to see what she is going to say next. I love her usage of french words and the illustrations are adorable! I don't think I would use this for an activity for the whole class because I'm not sure that little boys will be able to relate to it, but I will have it available to read in my classroom!
I like Fancy Nancy books and I like that they expose children to a variety of vocabulary. However, I was surprised with this one. It seemed almost too busy. The pictures were busy, and there was recipes or other tips on each two page spread along with the text. It is good just not one of my favorite Fancy Nancy stories. :-(
My 3 year old daughter picked this book out at the library and I have been reading it to her. It is so cute. I love Nancy's creativity. Afterwards my daughter kept saying "Ooh la la, beauty spa." She asked me to paint her nails and said "Mom, I want to be fancy." She wants to read more "Fancy" books.
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.
This book is an excellent way to teach children new vocabulary words and define the words by using synonyms that the children already know. This book also gives the reader a detailed list on how to have their own beauty day.
At age 5 my little girl said "Are we ready to dine?" every time she was ready for a meal. I never taught it to her. Don't know where she picked it up, but to this day, her vocabulary is still amazing.
Abbi loved this one...she was ready to play spa instead of go to bed last night! I think we are going to have to invest in some Fancy Nancy books for her library! OOH LA LA!

I have to be careful what I read to my daughter because she will instantly insist on doing whatever fabulous idea the book suggests...especially when it comes to pedicures, manicures, and other fancy things. Needless to say, we had a great time reading the book and then gave each other glitter toes!!
I loved the mom's hair when Nancy finished! And the thing about guarantees being promises so it has to do what it says...too cute!
This is a pretty cute book. Fancy Nancy gives her mom a spa day. I don't think it's quite as relaxing as Nancy intends. I love the way her mom looks at the end. So funny.

Fancy Nancy treats her mom to a day at the spa. Gorky fun :)
I buy these books for my granddaughter. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
The characters are Fancy Nancy, her sister,her mom
This one has expository text features.
This is a really fun book that demonstrates how to create a "luxury" spa at home. We like the tips on painting nails and the recipes for face masks and yogurt parfaits. The story has just the right amount of humor and reality to show that even if it's not perfect, you can still make your Mom (or anyone else) feel special with a little pampering at home.
We really enjoy the books in the Fancy Nancy series and we will certainly look for more at our local library.

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
