Fancy Nancy: Apples Galore! by Jane O'Connor - ADVISABLE

O’Connor, Jane  Fancy Nancy: Apples Galore!  Illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser and Ted Enik  Harper, 2013.  $16.99  EARLY READER  Content: G.  

Nancy’s class goes to an apple orchard for a field trip.  Her partner is Lionel, and he is a prankster.  Because he pranks so much, when he finally does get himself in a precarious situation and actually needs help nobody believes him.  Nancy helps him though and she ends up getting some Gala apples like her dad loves.  

This is a typical Fancy Nancy in the fact that it has adorable illustrations and Nancy is a good girl who likes to help others, but Lionel is a bit naughty and frustrating.  He doesn’t listen to the teacher and he has to suffer the consequences.  This is an easy reader with around four short sentences per page layout.  

EL (K-3)-ADVISABLE.
