The Talented Clementine by Sara Pennypacker

5.0

Read to Isabel: I just adore these books. Clementine is funny without being cloying and I love the way the adults talk to her—with respect and amusement. I feel like this series doesn’t get its due; it’s SO much better than that painful Junie B Jones that’s in “kid speak” (i.e. bad grammar and just obnoxious). Clementine is curious without being a brat.
