To celebrate Fancy Nancy at our library, I planned a special “tea party.”  Children were invited to come with their favorite adult for an afternoon of everything fancy.  Our event was timed for the release of the newest Fancy Nancy picture book, Fancy Nancy and the Fanciest Doll in the Universe. We printed tickets for the party, and families were asked to sign up in advance. ...https://www.alsc.ala.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/fancy-nancy_5-13-001-150x150.jpg
