Fancy Nancy's Favorite Fancy Words

It’s fun to see a mix of common and unusual words, but I wonder what guided the selection process for the most 'fancy' words in this book.

The book makes language seem so playful and exciting — I’m curious if it actually encourages kids to experiment with new vocabulary.

The visuals really bring the words to life and make them memorable. I wonder if the author collaborated closely with the illustrator or if it was a spontaneous choice.
