I love raiding new bookshelves, and in one of my raids of Dionne's book shelf today I discovered this delightful book... Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy!
Story Summary:
Fancy Nancy is just "Posh" thats who she is, and she loves that about herself! She even says in the story, "Its hard being the only posh person in your family." So, Fancy Nancy want to get a "posh" puppy and the story is all about the process she goes through to find out which puppy would best suit her and her family (making sure it fills the one criteria, or being posh!).
Likes and Loves:
* I LOVE the way the author, Jane O'Connor, uses and introduces wonderful words like ''ecstatic" and "exhausted". But she doesn't just use them, she always follows through with a quick little definition of what the word means.
"I am ecstatic." (That's a fancy word for happy)
Teaching Points:
* This book is great for teaching new words and giving definitions that children can understand.
* With your child choose a word of the day, make a poster the word and its meaning. Try and use it throughout the day.
