Clementine

Crazy little Clementine! There is never a dull moment with Clementine around, of course she is allergic to sitting still! If you like Junie B. Jones, Judy Moody, Ivy and Bean or Ramona books,, you'll love Clementine. She writes the story herself which makes it a little hard to believe she is only a third grader. I think our third graders have more common sense then she does! Most books I review are for older readers, but this book could be enjoyed by younger readers too. Sara Pennypacker has two more titles about this unique and genuine third grader, The Talented Clementine and Clementine's Letter which I haven't read yet. This "spectacularful"* 135 page book has wonderful drawings to compliment the text. Check out this book and you'll have a head start on reading the Maud Hart Lovelace Nominees for this 2009-10 school year.
