Fancy Nancy Bonjour, Butterfly By Jane O'Connor Illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser

Nancy's best friend Bree is having a butterfly birthday party, They make invitations and try on butterfly costumes. When Nancy's mom tells her she can't go, because it is on the same day as her grandparents anniversary party, Nancy is heartbroken.

When she sees her grandparents, she perks up, a little. Nancy has so much fun at the party, she forgets to be furious.

I read the book, then had my second grade granddaughter read it to me. She had some trouble with the `Fancy' words. My granddaughter especially liked Nancy's doll Marabelle, who was with her even when she couldn't be with her friend, Bree. And she liked the words: Bonjour, heartbroken, scowl, sulk, glamorous, and gorgeous. I loved the illustrations, the use of French words and Nancy's fancy costumes, hats and hair decorations. We both enjoyed this book and would recommend it especially for little girls who love to dress-up.
