I would describe this as a cozy book to read, one that gently and humorously approaches the average everyday fears of a young child and shows that it’s okay to have these fears, to be different, and to not always be perfect. Summer is coming, and Clementine is not ready. Jones, they will probably like Clementine. Sara Pennypacker, Marla Frazee (Illustrator) 4.31. I would recommend this book for 2&3 graders. The things she thinks are typical of what a child goes through at that stage of life. Sara Pennypacker and Marla Frazee have created a quirky, hilarious, and altogether unforgettable character in Clementine. I enjoyed reading this book and felt that Clementine was a totally unique, 100% real character. The problem is, what she pays attention to is usually what nobody else is paying attention to (and her teachers want her to listen to them!) Full of the typical antics of a tomboyish, rambunctious young girl, Clementine’s exuberance for life and being a kid is hard to miss. Reminiscent of Beverly Cleary's "Ramona" for today's kid, Clementine is a sweet sassy girl that is realistic and fun.Clementine’s ability to pay attention gets her in trouble all the time.
