Great find
What a great find and enjoyable book. When the discount department stores are pushing bratty looking dolls in trashy clothes this series of books lets little girls enjoy following a cute and self assured character through adventure after adventure.

Not the best Fancy Nancy
This book does a good job with what seems to be the recurring Fancy Nancy theme of making the best of a not-so-great situation, and keeps with the "fancy words" concept from the original book.
I do like the notion of introducing kids to more difficult words, but I do have a say it makes it a little odd to have those words show up in an "I Can Read" book. As a Level 1, it's really meant for a parent to read with them anyway, but my 6-year old is probably reading Level 3 or 4 of this type-series, where they are supposed to read independently and would need help with some of those words. It's nice that they include a list of the fancy words in the back with their definitions. In this one they are beret, gallery, landscape, lavender, masterpiece, merci, observant, overjoyed, portrait, spectacular and still life.
As other reviewers have mentioned, so much of this story takes place before leaving on the trip and on the bus rather than at the museum which is a bit disappointing. And the throwing up thing is gross -- plus if my kid threw up on a field trip, they'd make me come and pick her up. I do like how the teacher made her feel better about what happened though and helped her make the most of the rest of her day.
Overall though, it's not the best one I've read... I liked Fancy Nancy Sees Stars (I Can Read Book 1) much better.
