App Description

Fanny McFancy, a whooping crane with a reputation for dressing fashionably, is invited to an important tea, and unable to decide what to wear decides on the most daring outfit imaginable.

Fanny, is a crane that loves fashion and clothes. She gets invited to a very fancy tea party and panics because she has nothing to wear. She finally decides to go as-is to the party because clothes don’t make the person, or crane! The words all rhyme, without being too cutesy. And the book has a very good message for children. It doesn't matter what you wear or look like on the outside, but what is important is on the inside.

Fanny McFancy: A Passion for Fashion is a part of the Auracle line from Auryn Inc and is based on Patricia Thackray book by the same name illustrated by Sandra Forrest.
Ages 5-9.

Three ways to read the book.
★"Read to me" - Listen to the narrated story while the text is displayed Karaoke style. After the narration finishes on a page the child can interact with objects till they are ready to move to the next page.
★"Read myself" - There is no narration but the child can touch a word to hear it being spoken aloud.
