Horn Book Review
After Nancy starts a front-yard "boutique" (some would call it a yard sale) to earn money for a lace fan, she regrets selling the rhinestone necklace that her little sister covets. Despite the odds after so many Fancy Nancy outings, O'Connor manages to keep her story lines fairly fresh and minimally cloying. As always, Glasser decorates the pages like an elaborate cake.

Booklist Review
Pint-size glamour-puss Fancy Nancy is wholly in her element in this series entry about the often fraught exchange of sibling gifts. After spending her savings on her younger sister's birthday present, Nancy spots something she'd like for herself. While raising money for it in a yard-sale fashion boutique, she gets into an argument with her little sister, but after some creative reflection, Nancy makes up with her while enjoying the good feelings that come with being generous. With the series' usual combination of energetic pictures, challenging vocabulary, and spot-on family scenarios as well as a high gowns-per-page ratio this is sure to delight fans.--Engberg, Gillian Copyright 2010 Booklist
