K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Robin Preiss Glasser
&
Ted Enik.
Nancy schemes to get a lost-tooth necklace from the school nurse, cuts her own hair for class picture day, and gets her class to have a fancy dress-up day. Too-Loose Tooth is the most entertaining of the three, though it's less about Nancy's fashion-consciousness and posh personality. Nine "fancy words" per book feels somewhat excessive for the short texts. Review covers these I Can Read Book titles: Fancy Nancy: Fancy Day in Room 1-A, Fancy Nancy: Hair Dos and Dont's, and Fancy Nancy and the Too-Loose Tooth.
