It is the spring of Clementine's third grade year, and all the 3rd and 4th graders are getting ready to go on their big field trip to Plimouth Plantation. Clementine and Margaret have agreed to be partners, so that Clementine can help Margaret with anything that is germy or dirty, and Margaret can help Clementine with the "no food noises" rule that the 4th graders have put in place. But when a new girl named Olive joins Clementine's class, all of their plans are turned upside down. Another great Clementine story, looking at how we handle friendship and the changes in our lives. Recommended for grades 2-4.

In this installment of the cute and funny Clementine series, Clementine takes a field trip with her class and learns that it's more important to help out a friend than to be afraid of what others might think about you. She also decides to be a vegetarian!

In the latest installment of the Clementine series, which happens to be one of my all-time favorite series, Clementine is taking a spring field trip with her class to Plimoth Plantation. Clementine has agreed to be partners with her friend Margaret on the trip, mostly because the fourth graders have a rule that you have to eat without making any noise. Margaret wants to partner with Clementine too, since Clementine doesn’t mind dirty things at all and Margaret most definitely does. Then a new classmate comes along and complicates things. Olive has her own language that she teaches everyone and is well on her way to being very popular, when she is paired with Clementine for the field trip. With all of their plans in disarray, what will happen on the field trip?
Just as with all of the Clementine books, Pennypacker has created a modern girl living in a modern family. She merrily inserts levity throughout the book from the cleaning of the statues in the park to the stinky bus they have to take on the field trip. The character of Clementine continues to be complex, artistic and monumentally creative. This of course can lead to getting into trouble, but what jolly trouble it is!
This series belongs in every school and public library. Get it into the hands of creative kids and those who want a good giggle. Appropriate for ages 7-9.
