Cover via Amazon
Fancy Nancy and the Boy from Paris by Jane O'Connor is an I Can Read! book. Level is simple sentences for eager new readers.

"Paris, France, is the fanciest city in the world. When Ms. Glass tells the class that the new student is from Paris, Nancy cannot believe her luck. Nancy brushes up on her fanciest French words. She is ready to make a new ami. (In French that means friend.) But Robert would rather talk about horses than the Eiffel Tower. Robert may not be as fancy as Nancy, but that doesn't mean they can't have fun!"

What I love about the author's children's book series, is that in the back of each book you will find, Fancy Nancy's Fancy Words.
In this particular book, kids will learn the meaning of French words, such as Belle and Bonjour. Plus, young children will discover big words, like gorgeous and perplexed. It's a fun book and I'm a fan of Fancy Nancy.

Barefoot Books has published several books in French, too.
