I wish there were more of these. I might love them more than my daughter—but the ending is perfect.

Another great Clementine book! It's the end of third grade and Clementine is having a hard time saying good-bye. I would suggest reading the rest of the series as this one doesn't really stand alone. Recommended for grades 1-3.

I've loved all of the Clementine books and am sad to see the series end - but I love that it so perfectly covered her 3rd grade year, which makes it feel complete AND easy to recommend to kids who will read the series all in a row instead of growing with it (those series are great, too, but harder to recommend when you think the series will outgrow the kid).
My only burning question will be of no interest to the book's target audience - did Clementine's mother have a home birth? Did the hospital discharge her hours after the baby's birth? I want to know all about it.
I'm also still wondering about Broccoli-Carrot-Lima Bean's real name - I was really hoping for a last minute revelation!

Clementina bien puede ser el resultado de lo que ocurre cuando mezclas padres amorosos, profesores que escuchan y, en general, adultos que confían en los más pequeños. Una sencilla, pero tierna e inolvidable historia sobre la maravillosa cotidianidad de Clementina.

Any book/book series that gets my kid excited about reading gets 5 stars.
I've seen many reviews from parents who dislike this series because she's "a bad role model". What's more important, imo, is Clementine is relatable to kids around the same age. Pennypacker does an excellent job capturing the thoughts and feelings of a third grader.
And even better, Clementine grows throughout the series.
