I LOVE Clementine and so do the little ladies. She's a spitfire but she's funny and always has the best intentions.

Clementine is hilarious.... and this was great on audio. My favorite parts were her "OK. Fine."s Of course I listen/read stories like this and get nostalgic for Ramona...nobody beats Ramona! But Clementine comes close and I look forward to listening to her further misadventures.

Clementine is such a mischevious little girl, you can't help but love her. I admire her cleverness and creativity, those are great traits for a kid to have, even if they do get her into trouble a lot.

I am reading the Clementine books with my step-daughter. I decided to add them here because we REALLY enjoyed the first one, and while I wouldn't count these toward my personal goal, I should make it easily. We laughed a ton. Clementine is hilarious and the book is the perfect difficulty for Ellee. For the first book, Ellee read two pages and I read one, to give her a bit of a break.

Love her! A modern day Pippi! My daughter, who adored Pippi, loves Clementine.

Clementine is very ADHD coded. It is beautiful to read about her mind and the beautiful future she could one day have.

I liked it. It had the humor of a Junie B. Jones book, but with a little more heart. It also made me remember just how differently children can view the world.

The setup for this book is my soft spot--a child with a big imagination whose inner world isn't fully understood by the people around her. Clementine is hilarious but the book and the character both have a heart. This one would be a lot of fun to read aloud.
