Jo Jo Makoons: Fancy Pants by Dawn Quigley

3.0

This own voices book is remeniscent of Fancy Nancy and Amelia Bedelia. Jo Jo, a first grader who lives on an Ojibwe reservation, is getting ready for her aunt's wedding in Wisconsin by trying to learn how to be fancy. She tries hard, but much of the book's humor comes from her misunderstanding situations or trying to be helpful in ways that others find baffling.
