K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Ted Enik.
In Pajama, Fancy Nancy feels excluded when her best friend gets chummy with another classmate. In Show, Nancy partners with a shy classmate for the school talent show. Both books' story lines are somewhat anemic (that's a fancy word for tired). The faux Robin Preiss Glasser art is frilly, frothy, and otherwise similar to the real deal. Glos. Review covers these I Can Read Book titles: Fancy Nancy: Pajama Day and Fancy Nancy: The Show Must Go On.
