At first Nancy didn't like green. However when her class decided the rules to protect their (also our) planet, she began to favor green color. She did many works in accordance to rules (sometimes she made mistakes...)

It was autumn. Today's class was a trip for apple picking. She and her buddy Lionel were looking forward to. But there was a problem; Lionel was a mischievous boy. He made jokes on bus and in the galore. Finally he broke a promise that they can't climb on apple branches...

Book Review (Fancy Nancy: Fancy Day in Room 1-A)

 

On Sunday nightI look through my wardrobe.That's fancy for all my clothes.I find my most fancy dress.I will also wear boas, bracelets, tons of necklaces, lace gloves, and sparkly clips in my hair.I am fancy all the time,so I must be super-duper fancy on Fancy Day. (p.22)

It was rainy day. All of students were boring. Ms. Glass suggested that they make something fun to look forward to. Then Nancy had an idea of Fancy Day; they can wear fancy clothes and eat fancy food and use fancy manners. Everyone was favor in her idea and teacher adopted. They started to prepare for Fancy Day...

I read it with a lot of fun! It seems not only very fun but instructive. In Fancy Day they used some table manner and some French such as "merci". I thought kindergartens or elementary schools in Japan should introduce such day.
