Clementine (2006)

Clementine was a really cute book about a slightly hyper-active, but otherwise well-meaning 8-year-old named Clementine. Clementine reminds me a bit of Ramona Quimby, and fills me with just as many laughs. This book has several laughs just for parents and adults, and plenty for children. Second, third, and fourth graders will totally relate to the inner-thinking of Clementine, while some adults will suspect she might have ADHD. (Oh, how the medical community has corrupted what used to be just called youthful exuberance.)

Although this book was a quick read filled with lots of "oh no" scenarios, there wasn't a very clear plot to the book or underlying them except to see how much well intentioned mischief Clementine can get into.

big fan of pax. wish i would have read these as a child. i found that some instances were funny but mostly i felt it as part of my childhood which was bittersweet and weird. ( )

Clementine and her life in the third grade ( )

More "research" for work. This is such a fun little book. Fantastic illustrations and a cute story too. Reminds me a bit of my favorite series of all time: Ramona Quimby, which is perhaps why I liked it so much. ( )

I kept this book from my childhood as well. I think it was mainly the cover that attracted me to it. Clementine means well just always happens to get into trouble.. kinda like Junie B.
