Publisher's Summary:
Calling all poets!
Fancy Nancy Clancy is so poetic, even her name rhymes. And with limericks, couplets, free verse, and more, poetry is plenty fancy! So when her teacher Ms. Glass gives Nancy and her classmates an assignment to come up with their very own poems, Nancy is determined to write one that is superb. But what happens when she can't think of a good idea?
Complete with Nancy's very own poetry anthology, Fancy Nancy: Poet Extraordinaire! shows how a true love of words can be tres fancy. Ooh la la! And with a little inspiration, which is fancy for something that helps you get good ideas, Fancy Nancy just might be a Poet Extraordinaire after all.

Make Sure It's Age Appropriate
As a poet myself, I was very excited to see this new Fancy Nancy book. I also have a daughter named Nancy, so all of the Fancy Nancy titles find their way into our collection. Still, some titles go over better with my daughter than others. This one is a harder sell than some of the others.
The main reason, I think, is that my Nancy is only just turned 4 and this title, though listed for ages 4 - 7, is a bit difficult. It takes the concepts of poetry (like rhyme, inspiration, writer's block, etc.) very seriously which I like. It also offers some very high level example of poetry and poetry styles which, again, I like. Still, it makes the going harder for a young girl who is looking mainly for a fun story at bedtime. Given a choice, my Nancy prefers the simpler, more story-oriented tales.
Still, I think in time my Nancy will really come to appreciate this book. It is a good introduction to poetry with a fun guide in the guise of Nancy Clancy. For now, I will put it aside and try it again later.
Fancy Nancy, Poet!
As a poetry-lover from my youth, I've eagerly awaited the arrival of this newest "Fancy Nancy" book to give to my 6 year old granddaughter, Mary Mace. She has every book in this series and adores them all. As fate would have it, the book arrived a week before my daughter (Mary Mace's mother) was to teach about poetry to her 4th grade class! She read the book to Mary Mace and was so inspired by the idea of the "poet-tree" made by Nancy's teacher, Mrs. Glass, that she made one for her own class. She made the trunk of the tree from the class's poems, the leaves were related vocabulary words, and she added acorns with her comments. The tree was such a huge hit that almost every other teacher in the school 'borrowed' the idea from her!! She told them how great "Fancy Nancy" is and how much she's helped our Mary Mace to develop an advanced vocabulary for a kindergartener. I'd like to thank Ms. O'Connor and the amazing illustrator, Ms.Robin Preiss Glasser, for such consistently fabulous work. These books will not only entertain your children, but will also teach them new and exciting words.
