It's the summer holidays and Clarice Bean is bored. It's way too hot, her best friend is away, she's in trouble with her big sister and her neighbour, Robert Granger, keeps turning up and annoying her. Then a stray dog follows her home and suddenly everything changes.
It's ideal for children who are getting used to reading slightly longer books but still appreciate the pages being broken up with pictures and big, lively fonts. I imagine younger children would like to have it read to them too.
A charming and funny book which captures the delights but also the responsibility of having a pet.
