Fancy Nancy and the Fabulous Fashion Boutique

Fancy Nancy and the Fabulous Fashion Boutique by Jane O'Connor is such a cute book about being an older sister and doing the right thing. It starts with Nancy going shopping for her little sister's birthday that is coming up. Nancy, her littler sister, Jojo, and their mom go shopping to get party supplies. While shopping, Nancy finds this lace fan she really wants but does not have enough money to buy it. Instead of asking her mom, Nancy makes her own boutique at her house using her grandmother's old clothes. While running her new store, Jojo finds a necklace she really wants but Nancy's friend already wanted to buy it. Jojo throws a fit and asks Nancy to give it to her for her birthday. Nancy feels badly because her friend already bought it, so she goes to buy it back from her friend.

This book could be used by any parent very easily in their own to teach their children bout responsibility and taking care of family members. Nancy does the right thing for her little sister and in the end she is rewarded. Parents who have multiple children, could read this to both the younger ones and the older ones to teach them about family and its importance. This book could also be used in the classroom to teach children new fun vocabulary words and also about responsibility. I loved this book and it is also a series. Check them out!
