Fancy Nancy: Tea for Two
Description
Sometimes even the very best of friends get upset with each other and need to apologize. Kids will relate to this story of Nancy and Bree repairing their close friendship. When Nancy is invited over to Bree's house for a special tea party, she has only one thing to say: oui! The girls enjoy a few charming cups of tea before a disaster occurs that sets the two at odds. A party that weas so fun and elegant ends in tears and a huffy au revoir! When Nancy tells her parents what happened, they remind her of the importance of saying sorry. But what if Bree stays mad forever? As a parent notes: "The story deals with the importance of saying sorry, and how to mend relationships that go through hard times. This is such an important lesson for my four-year-old and I highly recommend this book!"

Fancy Nancy Falls out with her best friend, great for problem solving & emotional intelligence.
My 5 year old loves Fancy Nancy, she identifies strongly because she too is Fancy, she has a little sister, a mum who sometimes wears glasses, my daughter loves tutus and jewellery and she loves discovering the new words that Nancy has to add to her vocabulary.I love Fancy Nancy because amidst the Fabulousness there is an extravaganza of learning opportunities, not just literacy and expanded vocabulary but often emotional intelligence, resilience and problem solving for positive relationships.In this book Fancy Nancy has a falling out with her best friend over a chipped teapot and whilst initially indignant she is justified in her behaviour, she comes to realise with her family's gentle help that it takes two to have an argument, she was in the wrong too and that ultimately she values her friendship more than being right.This is excellent stuff for emotional intelligence and building resilience, falling out with your friend doesn't mean the world is over, but if you aren't prepared to compromise and work together and forgive then the friendship certainly will end. But it does it without preaching or shaming or guilt tripping Nancy, facts are repeated back to her with a fresh perspective and she is encouraged to think on what is important, this is excellent and fits well with childhood developmental and emotional thinking of focusing on the aim to encourage good choices rather than toxic shame a child into socially appropriate behaviour.We love Fancy Nancy and will be adding further to our collection, but this one is a keeper for its gentle approach to allowing a child be responsible for their choices without making them feel bad and to encourage good choices to move forward.

A necessary book for all girls!
I love Fancy Nancy books. Message is fun, yet educational. She overcomes problems which is beneficial to young readers. Teaching young girls about tea parties is an important foundation - I just wish the book was a hardcover or boardbook for durability.
