"The delightfully wacky Clarice Bean is the star of this absorbing story bubbling with exuberance and vitality."
A lively illustrated read
Quirky, funny and brilliantly illustrated. (tBk's Top 40 Children's Books)
Essential reading for all savvy girls... great fun.
Child can make you laugh and cry at virtually every page.
Lauren Child's earlier creation - schoolgirl Clarice Bean - is arguably her greatest.
