Product Description
Fancy Nancy is back! And when her family decides to get a dog, she's certain she can be fancier than ever. After all, a papillona small, delicate, fluffy dogis the ultimate accessory. But her family wants a large, plain dog. How unglamorous! With Fancy Nancy's trademark humor and warmth, Nancy discovers that real fanciness does not depend simply on appearance but more on a genuine joie de vivre, which is a fancy phrase for having lots of fun.

Good lesson on pet care and family December 25, 2008

This was the perfect book to show our daughter why the cutest, fuzziest animal wasn't neccessarily the best match for our family and lifestyle. Funny scenes and storyline, Fancy Nancy learns it best to adopt a dog that fits with her family, not her ideal Fancy world.

Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy is a most delightful book with wonderful illustration, which any little girl will enjoy. I bought this book for my five-year-old neighbor whom I adore. She has so much in commen with Nancy; expressing herself through some strange combinations of outfits, she then expects me to admire. and through the way she speaks. I just know she will use all the "fancy" words Nancy uses. What's more, her parents got the dog she loves from the animal shelter. Skylar will adore this book and will want the story to be read to her and "read" the pictures by herself over and over again.

If your daughter insists on being fancy, this is the series to help her learn to be herself, too. December 11, 2008
Jenn (Chicago, IL)
My daughter always tells me that I look like the mother in this story, "you know, not fancy at all." I somehow managed to rear a child who wears pink every day and owns five pairs of fairy wings. While I want to encourage her to be her authentic self, I also want her to think for herself and be thoughtful. The Fancy Nancy series is wonderful in that it celebrates the frilly tendencies in these kinds of personalities, but also teaches responsibility and that being fancy can mean many things.
In this story, Nancy really wants a fancy papillon puppy, but after taking care of it for a while she realizes that it wouldn't be fair to the puppy or her family to get such a delicate dog. The dog whom they do adopt is just as fancy in his own way, and Nancy has a very positive attitude about it. I love that Nancy looks like a real kid playing dress-up, and that she learns from her parents who play an important role in guiding her.
My daughter identifies very much with Nancy, and the story gives us some terrific opportunities to discuss handling disappointment, learning responsibility, and being comfortable with yourself. This is much better than most of the princess and fairy merchandise that is foisted on our kids.
My daughter loves all of these books ! December 1, 2008

We have every single Fancy Nancy book and my daughter loves them all. They are fun to read and have great illustrations as well. We hope to see more Fancy Nancy books soon !!
Great Addition to Daughter's Personal Library November 25, 2008

This is our second Fancy Nancy book. My girls have asked me to read this book to them nearly every evening since we've gotten it two weeks ago. I think they like this one even more than the first one we got (Bonjour, Butterfly). It teaches fancy words like the other book, but also teaches a lesson (that being unique is better than being fancy).
Within reading this book to my 5 year old two times, she already "reads" the book - she doesn't read, yet - as she's memorized various lines according to the illustrations. When she does this I know she loves it!
