Nancy can hardly wait for her class visit to the planetarium in this Fancy Nancy story from the beloved  New York Times bestselling author-illustrator team Jane O’Connor and Robin Preiss Glasser. Nancy absolutely adores stars. She loves how they sparkle in the sky, and she can even name the constellations. When she finds out her class will visit the planetarium she is ecstatic—that's a fancy word for excited. But when it starts to rain Nancy is afraid she might not be able to see the stars. Will the rain keep Nancy from watching stars sparkle? Fancy Nancy Sees Stars is a Level One I Can Read book, which means it's perfect for children learning to sound out words and sentences. The back matter features a list of the rich vocabulary words that are used throughout the story along with their definition.


Fancy Nancy: Sees Stars Reviews


  • Jasmine from How Useful It Is

    Read for my toddler's bedtime. I loved Fancy Nancy. I read it years ago for my son. So now I'm reading it for my second kid. It's good for kids to learn new vocabularies. Cute illustrations too.

    Read from kindle unlimited.

  • La Coccinelle

    Nancy and her friend Robert are excited about their upcoming nighttime field trip to the planetarium. They make t-shirts with constellations on them, play with Nancy's solar system mobile, and bake star-shaped cookies with sparkly sprinkles. On the big day, however, a rainstorm washes out their plans. But when all is said and done, Nancy has a brilliant idea and they end up seeing a different kind of star show.

    This book is just as cute as the other ones in the series that I've read so far. It has some great "fancy" words (like meteor, fascinating, and orbit) with clear explanations of what those words mean. I like seeing how there's continuity between the books, too; Robert, the little boy we met in Fancy Nancy and the Boy from Paris makes another appearance here.

    What's not to like about Fancy Nancy? The stories are simple but smart, and the pictures are adorable. I can't wait to read some more of her adventures!

    Quotable moment:

  • Jenn

    Don't judge read it to a little girl

  • Shiloah

    Meredith (11) did our read aloud tonight. ❤️

  • ♥♣Mary♦♠ If She So Pleases

    I like how there are cute activity ideas in this book and plenty to learn. 3 stars- I like it.

    I'm not too much of the new Fancy Nancy books with the new illustrators because they changed the mom to be blondish. I have nothing against blondes, my mom is a blonde, my dad a brunette, there are even redheads in my family. But it is really hard to find a book where the main female character is a caucasian brunette. It is ALWAYS that the boys are brunette and the girls fair. The change is unfair to us.

  • Maddie Patty

    well that took 30 minutes. (it was hard for my lil sister)

  • Felicia Moore

    Very cute read it to the girls!

  • Michael Seese

    How can you not like a book which teaches kids words like "unique" and "brilliant?"

    My kids -- aged 3 - 7, boys and girls -- all like the Fancy Nancy series.

  • Cheryl

    Another cute Fancy Nancy book. Great for vocabulary building and celebrates curiosity and learning. Really liked how the family turned the situation around into something even more fu.

  • Wren ♥︎

    Fancy Nancy series is in my heart.

    I used to borrow Fancy Nancy series from library and read it and I loved it!
    It was like 3 years ago and the books helped me learning English so well!
    'Cause there's like a list of fancy words that used in the book at the end and that was perfect.

    Nancy, Bree and Clara are so cute <3
    I wanna read this again hehe

    Definitely recommend this for little ones and even more!

  • Anthony

    Fancy Nancy and her classmates are going on a class trip at night to the planetarium. A sudden storm causes the roads to flood, and they miss the show. After the storm passes and the skies clear Fancy Nancy returns home, and comes up with a brilliant idea. (Brilliant is a fancy word for very smart).

  • Bizzy's Books

    This book has a lot of goodness in it:
    -Teaches kids some basics about astronomy and constellations
    -It helps kids problem solve and make the best out of a bad situation (especially one that's out of their control)
    -Has Nancy at her best - being fancy and creative and fun and dramatic.

    We just love the Fancy Nancy books, and this is one of our favorites!

  • Elizabeth Edwards

    i loved it ...great illustrations. like i always say i am reading through KU ...but the illustrations are only in the middle of the book, kindle screen so it really makes them quite small. wish the took up the full screen. must read if you are reading a real hand held book.

  • Samantha Grace

    Enjoyable to read, cute, and funny as always.

  • Lynda

    This is a very simple, little Fancy Nancy book perfect for very early readers. My 4 year old loves all the Fancy Nancy stories, there have been none that disappointed.

  • Ryan

    The class wants to see the stars, but the rain, the flood, and the traffic jam get in the way. Another Nancy story.

  • Melissa Namba

    one of the better ones that teaches about stars in a basic but fun way.

  • Ellon

    Not my favorite of the Fancy Nancy series but still a fun read. I'm not sure why alfresco was included as a vocabulary word. I feel like there are better words to teach young kids.

  • K Morlando

    We really enjoyed reading this!

  • Tweller83

    1/4/21 - cute with "fancy" words and the 60th anniversary of the "I Can Read" books.

  • Chanchal

    It's an okay book for a one time read. Got few good moments and some interesting concepts for very small kids.

  • Dawn

    H read it to me

  • asiya

    This is one of my favorite short story books by her!

  • Story

    Very good! I love how much Nancy's personality shines through in the writing style, and I love the way it introduces big words.

  • Rhyme Owens

    My favorite part was when Fancy Nancy saw a shooting star--so amazing!
