This book is about Fancy Nancy who goes with her class to the library on Monday. All the students grab books and Fancy Nancy grabs a book about Sacajawea. The teacher tells them that their assignment is to write a book report about the book they took from the library. Fancy Nancy is exited about it and goes home and tells her parents. They are very exited for her and her mom tells her that she is doing her first book report. Fancy Nancy starts working on the cover of her book. Her mom takes her to the store where she buys some materials she will use for her book cover. Her parents keep telling her that it is nice to work on the cover but to remember that it is a book report. She finally finishes her book cove the night before and even though she knows all about the book she cannot write much. The next day when all the students read their book report all she has is two sentences. Her teacher helps her out and asks her to tell the class what she knows about Sacajawea.
I would use this book in my class because it is a fun little story. I would somehow attach it to a lesson about being responsible and prioritizing. I would read it aloud toe the students and then ask them to think of a time when they focused on something instead of something else more important. This book is appropriate for Pre-K through 2nd grade.
