Very cute! I was introduced to Fancy Nancy from my dear friend Nancy through Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy. I enjoyed that one and I really adored this one. In Fancy Nancy Ooh La La! It's a Beauty Day readers are brought into a great day interaction between mama and daughter. It's Mama's birthday

This is formatted like Explorer Extraordinaire and Poet Extraordinaire...more fact filled and less charming than the true picture books but still fun for fans.

It's Fancy Nancy's mother's birthday, and our resourceful heroine is determined to give her a day of pampering at their back-yard Ooh-la-la Beauty Spa. From face masks to manicures, pedicures to hair-styling, this is a full-service spa, including special treats and entertainment. But when something

goes wrong with her mother's hair, has Fancy Nancy ruined her big night out at a fancy restaurant...?

The third of these smaller Fancy Nancy picture-books I have read - the first two being Fancy Nancy: Explorer Extraordinaire! and Fancy Nancy: Poet Extraordinaire! - Fancy Nancy: Ooh La La! It's Beauty Day is one I approached with trepidation (a "fancy" word for fear, as Nancy herself would say). It just seemed overly girly, in a self-indulgent way that I find the other books about this character are not. Perhaps I was simply misled by the idea of a "beauty day," but in the end I found this one adorable, and appreciated the warmhearted nature of Nancy's efforts for her mother. It reminded me of similar gifts I gave my mother as a little girl, including "coupons" for the performance of various tasks, and special services. The artwork is every bit as cute as ever, and recipes and suggestions are included, so readers can try to beauty services that Nancy is performing, in their own homes. Recommended to Fancy Nancy fans.
