Publisher Description
¡Nancy la Elegante ha vuelto! Y ahora que su familia ha decidido conseguir un perrito, ella estÁ segura de que serÁ mÁs elegante que nunca. DespuÉs de todo, un papillon— un perrito delicado y esponjoso— es el mÁximo ornamento. Pero su familia quiere un perro grande y ordinario. ¡CuÁn poco glamorosos!
Con el humor y la calidez caracterÍsticos de Nancy la Elegante, Nancy descubre que la verdadera elegancia no depende simplemente de la apariencia, sino de una genuina joie de vivre, que es una frase elegante para decir alegrÍa de vivir.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Fancy Nancy fans will loudly cheer her return and will be happy to discover that she has not lost a lick of her joie de vivre or her glitter and glam. "I am ecstatic. (That's a fancy word for happy)," she announces, explaining that her family is getting a puppy, "a real one," she adds, as Glasser creates a comical scene of Nancy drafting her sister into the role of pretend-pooch (drawing on a noise with indelible marker). Nancy initially hopes for a dog like Jewel, the papillon that belongs to her elegant neighbor. But Nancy's practical parents think this breed is too small and delicate, and instead suggest hardier dogs; "I shake my head. Too big. Too brown. Too plain. Sometimes it's hard being the only fancy person in the family." Yet when she dog-sits for Jewel, she discovers that the prim and proper pooch does not enjoy romping or fetching like Nancy's friends' dogs. She realizes that Jewel's breed is not the perfect kind for her family. Her parents' idea to visit an animal shelter, however, brings about the perfect solution. Nancy spies spirited and smart Frenchy ("a La Salle spaniel," according to her father), who turns out to be just what the family needs. Glasser's fittingly fancy flourishes and abundant humor once again capture this young heroine's exuberant personality and delightfully exaggerated facial expressions. Author and artist make a sparkling encore performance. Ages 4-7.
