Fancy Nancy is back! And this time she wants to be fancier than ever!

Nancy is over the moon when her family decide to get a dog. She dreams of having a papillon - a small, delicate, fluffy dog - by her side. This will be the ultimate accessory!

But her family have other ideas. They want a plain dog. How unglamorous!

With Fancy Nancy's trademark humour and warmth, Nancy discovers that true fanciness does not depend simply on appearance but more on a genuine joie de vivre, which is a very fancy phrase for having lots of fun!
