Puppy Party (Fancy Nancy)

by Jane O'Connor

In Fancy Nancy: Puppy Party, it's Frenchy's birthday, and Nancy Clancy wants to give her pooch the most stupendous, glamorous, fabulous birthday party ever, from cake to balloons to party hats. She invites all of Frenchy's doggie friends to the celebration. But will the puppy of honor know how to behave at such an elegant event? Like Eloise and Olivia, Fancy Nancy brings as many smiles to adults as she does to kids. This 8x8 storybook is perfect for parents and children to enjoy together.

This is delightful, which is not surprising for a Fancy Nancy. In this story it is Frenchy, Fancy Nancy's dog's birthday and they're having a party. All the guests are friends and neighbor dogs and their owners. From the cake to the party games it is all dog devised and organized. Even chaos is fun in the end when you just let it be and enjoy.

[Go figure - this is what I get for handwriting reviews before typing them. I just found a second review for Puppy Party.]

I think I already have a review of this one floating around, but to make sure let me try again to tell you my thoughts. [Well apparently I saw that coming...] We truly enjoy Fancy Nancy books and this one took a different spin with Frenchy the dog as the main attraction. It's Frenchy's birthday and Nancy goes to lengths to make it fun and memorable for all involved. Full of silliness and almost too much seriousness everyone learns how to relax a bit and have fun.

In the back cover flap there is an ad for Nancy and Marabelle Madame Alexander dolls and my goodness does it make a girl dream. We recently read and enjoyed [b:Fancy Nancy: Fanciest Doll in the Universe|16160632|Fancy Nancy Fanciest Doll in the Universe|Jane O'Connor|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1356352787s/16160632.jpg|22002080] and I'm sure any Fancy Nancy fan young or not would LOVE to see one of those dolls!

Thanks to HC.
