Completely Clementine by Marla Frazee, Sara Pennypacker
5.0
** I like to read the books I give to my nieces and nephews so I know what to talk about with them.**
My indy bookstore recommended this to me. Called it the "Ramona for this generation." I enthusiastically agree.
This book is for the 6-8 set. A wonderful book of all the ways Clementine gets in trouble, in one week! She is 8 years old and she IS paying attention, just not to the things adults want her to pay attention too. She has a wonderful creative side to her. And she has all those problems with her best friend that children that age have. I appreciate that her parents listen and encourage her in her creativity.
I read this book in about 40 minutes to myself. But if I were reading it aloud I might read 2-3 chapters a night. It would be hard to stop, but it would be a fantastic creative lesson to see what Clementine is getting into now! I look forward to reading the next books.
PS. The drawings? Are superb. I really love how they capture the moments that happen in Clementine's life. I would give this book a second set of stars for the drawings.
