Disney Junior’s Fancy The Case of the Disappearing Doll is a Level One I Can Read, perfect for children learning to sound out words and sentences. Disney Junior’s Fancy Nancy is an animated family comedy starring six-year-old Nancy, a girl who is fancy in everything from her advanced vocabulary to her creative, elaborate attire.

I enjoyed this book a little more than some of the other Disney-fied Fancy Nancy titles, but it still doesn't hold up very well against the original storybooks.
In this story, Nancy's doll goes missing. She searches everywhere, and even accuses a few people of taking her (true to form, though, she apologizes when she finds out she's wrong; Nancy is, if nothing else, a nice kid). Eventually, Nancy and Bree solve the case and everyone lives happily ever after.
There are some nice "fancy" words in this one, so that's a plus. But I'm still not a huge fan of the way these characters are drawn. Nancy is nowhere near as fancy as in the original books, and Bree has lost some of her funky style that I loved so much. (She's drawn with more distinctive features in the original books, and her hair is a wonderful, ever-changing mass of butterflies, braids, and various other fancy things. In the Disney version, though, she just has a couple of plain hair puffs, and her features are very similar to Nancy's. I don't know if I'd go as far as saying she's been whitewashed, but she's definitely lost... something.)
Overall, this isn't the worst of the Disney Fancy Nancy books, but it's not the best. I'd recommend sticking with the original storybooks (or the I Can Read! titles with the original style of illustrations) unless you're a die-hard fan of the TV show.

For some reason, I thought this was a Nancy Drew mystery, but it ended up being a Fancy Nancy book. 😂

What can I say? My two year old daughter wants this book read to her over and over again. And we’ve never seen the tv show. Of course we also don’t have a long history of reading the original series. What I like about this particular book is how easy it is for the parent to read dramatically. And ultimately I think Mom’s way of reading the book is what draws my daughter to it.

A cute story, but not a lot on the actual crime-solving process (could have been a STEM tie-in!). Also, the only person Nancy apologizes to is her mom, even though she rudely accused a couple other people.

My daughter loves this series. It’s a great level 1 reader book. I think my daughter can probably handle the level 2 now.

An elementary easy reader about where Fancy Nancy can't find her doll for a tea party with her best friend Bree. Who could have taken it and can the girls find it? Cute.

This was an ok book. I read it to my kids and they seemed to enjoy it. This is a good book for beginner readers. This book is also an AR book for anyone who wants to know.

Zoe enjoys Fancy Nancy and the "big words" that Nancy uses. She likes to increase her vocabulary. The pictures are colorful and cute enough. If Zoe is happy that is good by me.
