Review # 1 was written on 2019-04-09 00:00:00 Alex Mundy This is another quasi-non-fictional Fancy Nancy title, this time teaching kids about poetry. Nancy's teacher, Ms. Glass, gives the kids an assignment: write a poem. The poems will be written on paper leaves so they can go on the Poet-Tree (a cardboard tree on the classroom's wall). Nancy then gets to learn about different kinds of poems. Sometimes they rhyme, sometimes they don't. Sometimes they're funny, sometimes they're serious. They can be started by using the letters in a word. They can even be song lyrics! But Nancy has a problem: inspiration just won't strike. Until it does, she just has to keep exploring the wonderful world of poetry. (Little does she know that inspiration has been sitting right in front of her the whole time!) The book features quite a few poems. Nancy goes around asking people their favourites, and most of those are included (except for her dad's, but those are Bob Dylan song lyrics, so I'm assuming that either they weren't appropriate for kids or the publisher couldn't get the rights). Nancy also shares a notebook of some of her favourite (kid-friendly) poems. I didn't like this one quite as much as Fancy Nancy: Explorer Extraordinaire! But it's still a fairly strong picture book, and it does teach kids quite a bit about poetry. I would still recommend it, especially to Fancy Nancy fans.
