Fancy Nancy Sees Stars

Fancy Nancy Sees Stars

BEGINNER READER SERIES • BY JANE O’CONNOR AND ROBIN PREISS GLASSER

Created by bestselling author Jane O’Connor and illustrator Robin Preiss Glasser, Fancy Nancy Sees Stars is a sparkling adventure in the beloved Fancy Nancy early reader collection.

Nancy adores stars, loves how they twinkle in the night sky, and can even name constellations. When her class schedules a field trip to the planetarium, she is ecstatic—which she proudly explains is a fancy word for excited! But when dreary rain clouds roll in on the day of the trip, Nancy worries she might miss out on seeing the cosmos. Fortunately, she discovers that a planetarium indoor theater can bring the universe to life no matter what the weather is doing outside.

"Nancy is ecstatic—that's a fancy word for excited. But when it starts to rain Nancy is afraid she might not be able to see the stars."
