I kind of missed the princess bug as a child (I was much more the prince type--you have to be if you're the oldest, and for a long time the tallest of three sisters and you're going to play pretend games together--games with all female characters have their limitations), and so I find it very hard to understand this stuff. I don't mind it on the whole--I have my own princess moments, stylistically speaking, as an adult--but when it becomes a case of encouraging children to be obsessed with shopping and having things, that worries me. And kid yard sales are a recipe for disaster. I like Fancy Nancy better when she's focusing on pretentious manners and art. This is a cute book and is a part of a series. I couldn't help but to think about yard sales I had when I was younger as well. I remember going through the planning process and just knowing it would be a HUGE success! This book could be used in a math lesson in which students would make their own yard sales. This would help give them real life experience with money and value. Fun and cute book (especially for girls) and a nice read.
Again, so wonderful! Nancy stretches herself to make her sisters birthday dreams come true!

Not my favorite of the Fancy Nancy series, but still interesting.
