Fancy Nancy Splendiferous Christmas Written by Jane O'Connor and Illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser

Fancy Nancy Splendiferous Christmas Written by Jane O'Connor and Illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser, 30 pages

This book will cool you off and make you look forward to winter!!  I find it hard to resist reading the Fancy Nancy books as the books are so beautifully illustrated.  Nancy is excited this year for Christmas as she has a brand new sparkly tree topper.  Though, while playing with her dog Frenchy the tree tips over and breaks her tree topper. When Grandpa arrives, he comes to the rescue and helps her make a new one.
