This is a great book to read to children especially when learning about the solar system. I think this is a fun way to introduce and review some things about the solar system with children. I love the illustration in this book, I think it keeps the children’s attention with the different colors and keep them into the book. I also loved the facts on the side of some of the pages about the solar system and stars. I think this is perfect to incorporate into a science lesson, as sort of a review but in a fun way for students. Not only is this good for a science lesson, but I think it’s good to help students with their vocabulary. A few times in the book Nancy mentions a big word, but following that big word, O’Connor makes sure to explain what that big word means and I absolutely love that in a children’s book, and can encourage students to branch out in their vocabulary since they have now learned a new word if they did not already know what it meant. Fancy Nancy books are great books to read to children and I plan to read them to my future classes as a teacher. ( )

Fancy Nancy and her father love stargazing, and during her first camp out under the stars, she describes the heavens to him and her sister, JoJo, using her fancy words.

This is another Fancy Nancy true or non-fiction story. This time the reader gets to learn about stars. I like this because it reads like a picture book, looks like a picture book but only uses true facts. A nice read all around. ( )

Fancy Nancy returns in this fifth smaller-sized picture-book devoted to her adventures, following upon such titles as Fancy Nancy: Explorer Extraordinaire! and Fancy Nancy: Poet Extraordinaire!. Unlike the full-sized picture-books, this sub-series of the larger Fancy Nancy collection pairs a fictional narrative - in this case, the story of Nancy, her little sister Jo-Jo and her father camping out under the stars - with factual asides, here involving the stars, the sun and the moon. The result is a winsome little book that is both entertaining and educational.

I continue to be surprised by how much I enjoy the Fancy Nancy books, given how reluctant I was to pick up the first, the eponymously titled Fancy Nancy. Fancy Nancy: Stellar Stargazer is the fifteenth book I have read about this character, but despite that fact, I continue to find author Jane O'Connor and illustrator Robin Preiss Glasser's books immensely engaging. This five-book sub-series is quite appealing, and I appreciate how it pairs fiction and non-fiction. The artwork is, as always, charming and delightful. This is one I would recommend to Fancy Nancy fans, as well as to young stargazers. ( )

This is a great book that helps with learning and interests in the solar system. This book has amazing illustrations and great connection with its readers. It keeps the readers interested in the books. ( )
