These books are so, so funny. I love that Clementine's observations are both true and age-appropriate. (As in when she notes that her teacher ignoring her is "Inconsiderate when a kid does it, but Getting On With The Day when an adult does it"). Love it.

She makes us laugh out loud every time! And she lives in Boston!

As fun as the first book. I like how there is a gentle life lesson imparted in the mildest, low key manner with a huge dose of humor and cuteness. Clementine reminds me of a slightly older Junie B. Jones.

The Clementine books are so well-written and adorable it's hard not to love them. They're sort of like Ramona-lite, because Clementine is so similar to my favorite spunky character, but her books are much shorter. I love Clementine's parents, too.
These books would be great as a nightly read-along for younger children, or as independent reading for 2nd-3rd graders.

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.
