Julia and I worked through this one together. There's a nice mix of "new" and "old" words in here and that gives children the right mix of trying the new words and feeling confident thanks to the old words.
It definitely doesn't hurt that the story is actually an interesting one and that there's a moral to it all.
Again, I can't say I'd really recommend it. I won't remember it long enough to actually recommend it and better stories of this sort can be found, but if ...more

When Lady Teena is snatched up by the dragonfly, Sir Small is the only one in the village brave enough to try to rescue her.
The first graders enjoyed this book and they were able to read it independently. I like the book because it is somewhat of an interesting twist on a classic formula. Sir Small uses his wits to solve the problem but he also simply gets lucky so it sparked some good conversation about the different ways people can solve their problems. The best lesson I did all summer...more

This is a fun story for beginning readers. The font is large and the narrative is short. It has lots of colorful illustrations and the idea of such a small knight (riding an ant, no less!) is very humorous. We loved his "battle" against the dragon(fly). It's a fun book to read aloud and is good for beginning readers.
I love reading this book to my daughters. Wonderful moral story and engaging colorful illustraions. And as a bonus- it's a princess story.
Read this book with my little brother all the time. I think it was the first one he memorized.
This was the first book I ever read.

This book is on the lower end of the learning to read scale - as in still pretty new to it. My struggling reader is doing well with this one and reads several pages a day without frustration. The faster reader read it in a few minutes.
The illustrations are well done and the kids all like to look through it. It's a cute story as well.

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
