ALA Booklist (Tue Dec 01 00:00:00 CST 2009)

Holiday season for Fancy Nancy means a decorated house, delectable goodies, and the opportunity to finally use the angel tree topper she bought last summer with her own money. The tree topper is everything the box promised: it spins, it flashes, it changes colors. But a fight with the dog results in a knocked-over tree and a broken topper. Grandpa to the rescue, and Nancy loves her homemade tree topper as much as the fancy one, which stretches credulity a bit. However, Christmas is the perfect time for all sorts of fancy doings, which the always-fun artwork makes abundantly and amusingly clear.

Publishers Weekly (Fri Oct 06 00:00:00 CDT 2023)

The world has never seemed fancier to Nancy than at Christmas: there's abundant snow, the house is decked out in lights and, on Christmas Eve, Nancy has a special angel tree topper to hang. The trouble is, Christmas Eve comes with a lot of waiting (Nancy keeps busy decorating cookies, wrapping presents and caroling while awaiting family members' arrival). Nancy's ebullience results in a tearful mishap, but the glamorous heroine's vivacious personality, captured once again in Glasser's cheerfully detailed illustrations and a sprinkling of fancy vocabulary, proves evergreen. Ages 4–7. <EMPHASIS TYPE=""ITALIC"">(Nov.)

Horn Book (Thu Apr 01 00:00:00 CDT 2010)

Christmas enthusiast Nancy, who dresses not unlike a Christmas tree year-round, is heartbroken when the tree topper she bought breaks--until her grandfather shows her that "when life gives you cracked eggs, make eggnog." All the ingredients are here to please Fancy Nancy devotees: tastefully over-the-top illustrations, "fancy" vocabulary words and definitions, and a mid-level bummer treated as a high-stakes crisis.
