Despite what you may be thinking, you are NOT too old to read this book! Humor is necessary for everyone, and Clementine delivers.
Clementine is a spunky, creative third-grader who – despite what her teacher thinks – is ALWAYS paying attention. She’s just paying attention to what’s happening out the window – or in the hall. Just because she’s not listening to the teacher does NOT mean she is not paying attention!
I listened to Clementine on audiobook before reading the paper version, and I’m pretty sure some other drivers thought I had lost it. It’s not too often you see another driver alternately giggling and grinning ear to ear, after all. But I promise, you’ll be giggling too. Clementine makes you keep turning the pages to see what she’ll come up with next, even while you’re still chuckling to yourself about her last stunt. Which of course, is never a stunt from Clementine’s perspective. As Clementine says, “Spectacularful ideas are always sproinging up in my brain.” She was HELPING when she cut off all her friend’s beautiful hair. You’ll see!

Looking forward to picking this book up and getting some comic relief. I frequently enjoy books from the juvenile, YA and children’s section. Staying only in the adult section is like omitting non-fiction books from your interests–severely limiting and likely to leave you missing a lot!
On another note, if you haven’t heard the version of the song by the same name by Washington — you are again, missing out!
