Celebrating the 60^th Anniversary of I Can Read

Nancy can hardly wait for her class visit to the planetarium in this Fancy Nancy story from the beloved New York Times bestselling author-illustrator team Jane O'Connor and Robin Preiss Glasser.

Nancy absolutely adores stars. She loves how they sparkle in the sky, and she can even name the constellations. When she finds out her class will visit the planetarium she is ecstatic--that's a fancy word for excited. But when it starts to rain Nancy is afraid she might not be able to see the stars. Will the rain keep Nancy from watching stars sparkle?

Featuring the original Fancy Nancy ICR story in a special paper-over-board edition commemorating the 60th anniversary of I Can Read books, with eight pages of bonus material on the history of I Can Read.
