About this audiobook
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 très 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.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a cute, light nonfiction-ish read for kids. Nancy and her best friend, Bree, have formed an explorer club and investigate insects, spiders, birds and trees, all while trailed by their younger siblings. Young readers get facts, like the differences between insects and spiders, what makes deciduous trees evergreens, and the differences between moths and butterflies.Nancy also has wonderful suggestions on how to act like a proper naturalist - don't pull leaves or flowers, don't catch butterflies (they're fragile), and leave everything the way you've found it. The story ends with Nancy and her friend's younger siblings finding a baby bird, and, since birds don't mind if a human's touched their young, Nancy's mother puts it back into its nest.And, of course, there are a few charming vocabulary lessons along the way! Recommended.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Fancy Nancy spans the age spectrum. It started with picture books, then there are easy readers, and chapters books under Nancy Clancy. Plus some subject books. This is a subject book. Nancy uses her teachers knowledge to tell us what she has learned about poetry. She even includes a little anthology at the end. Not a bad book, but not one of my favorite in the series. I actually found it a little boring.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5this book is all about how Nancy get an idea.
If you like Nancy books,then you have to read this one! - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Sounds choppy & awful / something is wrong with the audio
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Fancy Nancy is a series favorite for one of the girls I babysit. I think initially she is attracted to the fun, quirky, and unique nature of Nancy. In this certain Fancy Nancy book Nancy is learning about poetry in class. From there she wants to know all about poetry, everyone's favorite poem, and how to write her own. This book contains majority of "children written" poetry but it gets a child interested in poetry. In the book Nancy explain many poet terms like anthology, couplet, and ode. The reader even follows Nancy through the struggles of writing her own poem and going through writer's block. Children can relate to Nancy because she is a fellow peer who goes through life like many students do. She goes to school and hangs out with her friends and family. Through the draw and familiarity of Nancy's character students relate to her voice and easily learn from her many lessons on life and learning. By the end of the book the girls wanted to write their own poetry because they were inspired!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I enjoy the "Fancy Nancy" books for many reasons. First, the illustrations. I think they are great because they are very detailed and colorful. Next, I love the way the pages are set up. In "Fancy Nancy: Poet Extraordinaire" each page has the main text along with poems and pictures taken by Nancy, and even some captions. I think this page set up style in a fiction book is something readers will not be used to, but it will draw them in even more! I also like the font the author chose. It matches the idea that Nancy is a very "fancy" little girl. There is not really a problem or a "message" in the book, but the main idea is simply that Nancy loves to read and create her own poems. The book is filled with little poems written by Nancy and other poets.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Characters: Nancy Clancy (Fancy Nancy), her parents, her grandfather, Ms. Glass (her teacher), her best friend (Bree) and some other friends.Setting: Fancy Nancy’s home, school, a local storeTheme: Learning to write different types of poetryGenre: Picture bookGolden quote (optional): “Little by little, I get inspiration.”Summary: Nancy Clancy is a little girl who takes up the challenge of writing poetry. In this book, Fancy Nancy explores the different ways poetry can be written. She surveys her family and friends at school, in addition to talking with her teacher, Ms. Glass. Fancy Nancy always dresses up and is a cute little redheaded girl. For the most part, she dresses up as an ancient Roman orator while exploring the different types of poetry. There is a collection of her favorite poems at the end of the book.Audience: Pre-school through lower elementary agesCurriculum ties: Social studies, friendships, beginning writingAwards (optional): Personal response: This is an adorable book with an audience aimed at small girls, maybe up through 4th or 5th grade. The main character is endearing and very cute. The book captured my heart with the illustrations and font type. I loved the way Nancy discovers the elements of poetry. Where was this book when I was in school? It brought clarity for many elements that eluded me as a young student. Jane O’Connor has a written several books about Fancy Nancy. This is my favorite thus far.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fancy Nancy loves poetry when her teacher introduces it to the class. But, when she tries to write her poem for the poet-tree, she has writer’s block which makes it nearly impossible to start her poem. When she asks her teacher for help, she gets inspired to write her poem. This is a great book for silent reading and a read aloud to help children understand and appreciate poetry.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really enjoyed this book. It is about a little girl who has to write a poem for her class. It is a book about poetry and the different types of poetry. It also goes through writer's block and the way to fix that is to be inspired by something.
