School Library Journal - 10/01/2025 PreS-Gr 3—Fancy Nancy has been around for 20 years, but she doesn't look a day over six. By this point most readers know what to expect: curly red hair, a day filled with fun, and lots of pink. For those unfamiliar, each page features four or five simple sentences with an accompanying illustration. The artwork is vibrant and detailed, usually floating in the white space, but sometimes grounded on an illustrated background. In this volume, Nancy's bestie Bree goes away for the weekend. In Bree's absence, Nancy makes a new friend: a French girl named Lily. Lily has brown skin, natural curls, and is missing her two front teeth. When Bree comes back, she feels left out, and her feelings are hurt. Nancy's mom encourages her to apologize, which she does. Perhaps the resolution is so easy because of the depth of their friendship, but the conflict and resolution come so late in the book, they feel of little consequence. VERDICT Add where the series is popular. - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
