Illustrated by
Robin Preiss Glasser.
This collection includes two picture books (Halloween...Or Bust! and Our Thanksgiving Banquet) and four easy readers (Fancy Day in Room 1-A, Splendid Speller, Apples Galore!, and The 100th Day of School). Nancy's definitions of "fancy" words appear in the texts and in glossaries. The frilly art is an appropriate accompaniment for Nancy's frothy narration.
