Review by Booklist Review

With her typical flair and exuberance, Fancy Nancy Clancy describes her class poetry unit in this upbeat series installment. After learning about poetic forms, Nancy and her best friend, Bree, head off to their clubhouse, newly retrofitted into a palace of poetry, to write their own verse, but Nancy runs into a bad case of writer's block. With support from her parents and teacher, she finds inspiration, and after penning a sweet ode, she puts together an anthology to collect her favorite poems. Upbeat and instructive, this cheerful introduction to poetry is an easy fit for the elementary-school language-arts curriculum.--Engberg, Gillian Copyright 2010 Booklist

Review by Horn Book Review

When Nancy's class creates a "poet-tree" to which each student must contribute a paper leaf featuring an original poem, she has trouble getting started. The plot is secondary to the book's larger purpose: defining poetry for young readers (nursery rhymes and song lyrics count) and introducing them to concepts like writer's block and inspiration. Glasser's cotton-candy-like touch graces every scene. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted. All rights reserved.
