Clementine by Sara Pennypacker
4.0
Update 2020- When I checked the book out to read aloud to my children I had completely forgotten I had already read this. The kids enjoyed Clementine's antics and the lovely illustrations. We've got the next book on hold.
Clementine doesn't understand why all the adults in her life are constantly telling her to pay attention. She IS paying attention to really important stuff like her neighbor's shoes so she knows who is walking past her apartment, so what if that sometimes means her homework disappears into the black hole otherwise known as her closet. She's also full of great ideas like helping her friend Margaret fix her glued hair, or thinking of ways to fix the pigeon problem at her building. When not all of her ideas turn out the way she planned, and she overhears her parents saying they only need "one" Clementine begins to fear the worst.
I don't know why it took me so long to pick this book up. It's a fast and funny read, and Clementine is a quirky heroine destined to be loved by fans of Junie B. Narrator Jessica Almasy captures Clementine's high spirits perfectly. This is an audiobook to be enjoyed by the whole family.
