What can I say? The girls were in a frenzy at the prospect of meeting the Fancy Nancy author, Jane O’Connor at our local library on Tuesday! Of all of the books we have ever owned, their Fancy Nancy books are read and re-read over and over. And they of course play at being Fancy Nancy and dressing up… well, fancy! There is something about this character that has captured the imaginations of so many girls and apparently, boys.
Because the library was packed full of kids, girls and boys who were just so excited. I felt like I was attending a rock concert. Oona was chosen to be the helper who held Jane’s book as she was reading. She was beaming at the honor. When Jane started talking about how Fancy Nancy likes using fancy French words, Oona announced the she speaks French and launched into it to the surprise of the author!
Here she is proudly showing us how fancy she herself was when she was a little girl!
Here’s Oona doing her very important job.
Here is the book she was reading from: Fancy Nancy and the Mermaid Ballet
