    I rate this title on for age 2 and give it 4.0

    I bought this one since by dauther loved the first 2 so much. I enjoyed the first 2 books more than this one, but is still a good story. I'm glad to see Nancy get dissapointed and work thru it. Can't wait to see what happens to Nancy in the coming 4th book.
