Clementine, Friend of the Week - Softcover

??“Humorous scenarios tumble together, blending picturesque dialogue with a fresh

perspective as only the unique Clementine can offer. Frazee’ engaging pen-andink

drawings capture the energy and fresh-faced expressions of the irrepressible

heroine. A delightful addition to any beginning chapter-book collection.”—

School Library Journal (starred review)

“Reminiscent of both Ramona and Junie B. Jones, Clementine is an ingenuous thirdgrader

with a talent for trouble and a good heart. Frazee’s expressive ink drawings

capture every nuance of the characters’ emotions, from bemusement to anger to

dejection. Sometimes touching and frequently amusing, this engaging chapter book is

well suited to reading alone or reading aloud to a roomful of children.” —

Booklist

For

The Talented Clementine:

“Recommenders hoping to turn indifferent readers into voracious ones often reach

first for solid, funny chapter-book series; this follow-up to

Clementine proves that

Pennypacker’s deserves a place alongside those by Johanna Hurwitz, Beverly Cleary,

and Megan MacDonald. Frazee’s polished, warm-spirited line drawings, not all seen,

capture the endearing idiosyncrasies of its heroine, who will equally charm returning

readers and those meeting her for the first time.”—

Booklist

For

Clementine’s Letter:

?

?“[S]he shines with a vibrant spirit that can never be completely extinguished, even

when she is feeling down. Frazee’ pen-and-ink drawings perfectly capture Clementine’

personality and her world.”—
