I didn't think that this third book in the Clementine series was as funny as the first two, but you still have to love her!

I'm kind of ready to be done with Clementine but my nine yr old isn't. It's starting to be like We get it Clementine, you're wacky, you're reckless, you have good intentions. What I do like is her family. She has good parents, and a good teacher too. The adults in these books have kind of obnoxiously excelerated emotional intelligence. No one is ever *that* good, but it's a nice world, and I feel like I get some parenting pointers in reading this series

Clementine just keeps getting better and better in this third installment. Her third grade teacher is nominated in a contest to spend the rest of the year learning in Egypt. Clementine doesn't want him to go so she writes a letter to get him kicked out.

I'm a big fan of Clementine. She has a sweet spirit, but she really needs to check out her ideas.

Clementine's Letter by Sara Pennypacker is the third book in the series. It won the Christopher Award in 2008. It was also the first book in the series I read, as part of my notable books and materials for children 5 to 8 project.
Clementine is having a rough week. Her beloved third grade teacher, Mr D'Matz has been nominated for a year long trip to an archeological dig in Egypt. To make things worse Clementine just can't seem to do anything right for the substitute. At home she wants to get her mother a special box to keep her art supplies but her money making scheme has upset nearly ever single person in the apartment her father manages.
Frazee's line drawings capture Clementine's every emotions as things go from bad to worse, helping to make her a sympathetic and likable character.
The book highlights the importance of routine, ground rules, good communication and the adjustment period needed for anyone starting a new job or for students to get used to a new teacher.

I actually teared up several times while listening to this book.
