Review by Booklist Review
After Fancy Nancy gets a set of glitter markers, the Degas pictures in her dance class inspire her to draw beautiful ballerinas (guess who they all look like?), and a Monet postcard leads her to paint the tulips in her own garden. Then she follows Matisse and makes cutouts with paper, glue, and scissors, and she and her friend hang their artwork on the clothesline for an art show. As always with this lively series, the appealing prima donna, whose energetic body language leaps off the page, encourages kids to explore new subjects and interests.--Rochman, Haze.

Review by Horn Book Review
In Artist, Nancy turns her clubhouse into an art studio. Stargazer finds Nancy, little sis, and Dad planning to camp in the backyard. Nancy's giddy narration is spiked with facts; however, the more her books strive to educate readers, the less she sounds like a real kid. Glasser's frilly-frothy art is appropriate accompaniment for both texts. [Review covers these titles: Fancy Nancy: Aspiring Artist and Fancy Nancy: Stallar Stargazer!] (c) Copyright 2011.
