Fancy Nancy: Pajama Day (I Can Read Level 1) Reviews


  • La Coccinelle

    This isn't my favourite Fancy Nancy, though it's not terrible. The illustrations seem a little weaker than in some of the other I Can Read! titles. There's a good selection of "fancy" words, but the plot just doesn't seem very interesting to me.

    Nancy decides to forgo being "twins" with Bree on Pajama Day because she wants to wear her fancy new nightgown instead. But when they get to school, it turns out that Bree and Clara have the same pajamas. Nancy feels left out. She can't even hang upside down on the monkey bars because she doesn't want to show her underpants! Later, there's a misunderstanding that almost ends in tears, but it's resolved quickly (very quickly) and everything ends on a high note. It's an okay story, but nothing special.

    Recommended mostly to hardcore Fancy Nancy fans. There are better titles in the series.

    Due to an unstable internet connection, I accidentally selected borrow on this book from my Overdrive app when I was trying to browse through audiobooks. It was written by Jane O'Connor and ready by Chloe Hennessee. It was a really cute story about Pajama Day at school, which was not going well fro Fancy Nancy, it even had elementary-school-female-drama which I thought was pretty funny. This was probably a resource that I wish was available when I was around Grade 1.

  • Tory Wagner

    All the Fancy Nancy books are a delight and this one is no exception. We have a female family book club and have added my granddaughter, age 6, as a new member. This was her book selection and she ran the book discussion handily. The story lends itself to interesting questions and comments and is interesting enough that even adults will enjoy it. The illustrations are wonderful also!

  • J.D. Holman

    Many schools have a pajama day, so this offers, like so many other Fancy Nancy books, some great realism that kids can relate to (or can expect to happen, if they're little).

  • Rose Rosetree

    Fancy Nancy's creative teacher has decreed that one particular day, the entire class will celebrate "Pajama Day." Oboy, how complicated will that be for an elementary school kid?

    Or for a highly social person of any age, actually!


    At school, even the principal wore pajamas. Plus, he carried a teddy bear.

    Altogether this Pajama Day was pretty delightful. Except, perhaps it was a problem how Fancy Nancy was quite overdressed. (As usual, as you could have predicted if you were familiar with other books about this little primma donna.) Only this time, her elaborate just might have limited her fun on this special day.

    However, Fancy Nancy goes home to find a solution. Which she definitely can.

    RATING TIME

    FIVE STAR adorable -- and I just especially the illustrations.

  • Anne Lutomia

    Fancy Nancy shares her experience during Pajama Day at school. Unlike her classmates including her friends Bree and Clara she wears a night gown that makes her to feel excluded. Even though the day is not great for her, her two friends invite her at the end of the evening and they spend time together as friends and ‘triplets’. The author provides young readers with lessons about dealing with uniqueness, being inclusive and friendship. The bookend lists a list of fancy words – vocabulary used in the book. This is a unique way that the author introduces new words to young readers. Great illustrations that relate to the story are used throughout the book.

  • Ellon

    3 stars (I liked it)

    So one thing I really like about Fancy Nancy books is the way interesting vocabulary is included. They are the "fancy" words. This has some great fancy words (unison, unique, excluded, etc.). There is also a relatable plot about feeling left out when your friend is friends with someone else.

    However, this is marketed as an I Can Read book level 1, which is supposed to be for beginning readers. I just don't see how they can justify that. The fancy vocabulary alone would make it not for beginning readers for me but it's also somewhat text heavy and without the repetition I would expect to find in a beginning reader book.

  • Mosley

    My daughter started Kindergarten this year and this was the very first book she brought home on Library day. I was so proud it's a great starter book for reading it has big words with their meaning so they learn vocabulary and over all it has a adorable story.

  • Ryan

    This is a fun upper level easy reader. Nancy is always teaching readers new fancy words, and in this book they even tell you how to say a unique word (you-NEEK). It’s pajama day at school. Nancy wants to be unique, but realizes that sometimes being unique means being alone.

  • Julie

    I think Jane O'Connor does a magnificent job of telling stories little girls can mirror into their own lives. Whether it be make-believe, friend drama, little sister troubles, etc. and she is just so much fun.

  • Shelby Rollenhagen

    My daughter seems to love the Fancy Nancy books and they are cute to read aloud to her.

  • Cyndy

    It's Pajama Day at school. Bree asks Nancy if she wants to dress alike. Nancy decides to wear her new nightgown. What happens when there is an accidental twin at school?

  • kiley kathleen

    this was my favorite fancy nancy book as a child 🥹🫶🏻

  • AleJandra

    Esta historia es muy interesante y ayuda a abrir conversaciones con los niños.

    A ser tu mismo, a tener mas de un amigo, a como te sientes cuando tu mejor amiga decide jugar con alguien más.

    Al final entretiene y aprendemos algo, que es lo importante en loa libros para niños.

    Reseña pendiente de edición...

    This book was amazing because I like being twins and wearing pajamas, two things that Fancy Nancy gets to do in this book!
