Fancy Nancy came to our library this past week in the form of a Mother/Daughter Tea Party, hosted by Miss S et moi. Invitations were posted at the library with an R. S. V. P.
Répondez s'il vous plaît" is a formal french phrase that means:
"Answer if it pleases you".
The responses were enthusiastic!

Tiaras and boas, along with Fancy Nancy booklets, were given to each of the girls
who looked so glamorous in their lovely fushia feather boas and glittery sparkly tiaras.
