Clarice Bean, Utterly Me

Product Information

I used to love this book when I was a kid. I remember my mother gave it to me and that it was the first big book I'd ever read! I was really excited! This book it's cute and funny. It's rare to find a children's book as funny as this one. Also, I reread it when I was in High School because I found it in my school's library. Does any one else thinks her favourite author looks like Clarice Lispector? Maybe that's why her name is Clarice, I don't know... It's just a thought. To be honest, Mrs. Wilberton is not my favorite person on the planet of Earth. Unfortunately, I am from Earth and she is my teacher. Meanwhile Clarice was suspecting her grandfather going out every night, it turns out his friend Bert has 2 dogs and is living in an old Folks home that strictly forbidden pets. So her grandfather kept the dogs and sneaks one of the dog out every night to Bert room in Folks home so he can have a company every night. However one day, one of the dog accidentally ate a bird from his neighbors (birds are somehow only allowed in the Folks home) and his neighbor filed a complain. So now her grandfather is banned from going to the old folk home and Bert and his 2 dogs moved to Clarice home. Bert will stay in Clarice house until he finds a new home that allows pets. Eventually, Bert was able to find a new home but it only accepts one pet , Betty volunteered to keep one of his dog.

Lauren Child MBE is an English author and illustrator. She was the UK Children's Laureate from 2017-19. As the title suggests, the endearing young narrator of Child's (Addy the Baddy) refreshing tale knows what she wants, but hasn't quite worked out the details. With droll one-liners, members of her Continue reading »I liked the way that Clarice was trying to solve the mystery that was going on at home and at school. My favourite character in this story was Clarice Bean because she turned out to be really good at solving mysteries. I recommend it to people who like detectives and mysteries.

Clarice’s way of speaking reminds me of Junior B Jones, which I loved as a kid. Clarice loves Ruby Redford mystery novels and dislikes her teacher. However, she gets to do a presentation on what she learned by reading Ruby Redford books, in spite of what her teacher thinks about the series. I liked the Ruby Redfort interludes- they gave me Alex Rider vibes. I think that reading this without the veil of childhood innocence and naivety made me feel like a parent reading to their child, or in my case, my inner child. I also like how children’s books like this have themes of class, power dynamics, family etc but told from the perspective of a child with a limited worldview. This book is really full of imagination. The writings are easy, and unique - accompanied by illustrations and different fonts.You might think it would be a relief to come to school, but if you do, then obviously you don't know some of the people in my class. Naming no names, i.e., Grace Grapello, what a showoff. During that time, Mrs Wilberton assigned Karl Wrenbury , ( a very naughty kid in class) to be Clarice partner, Clarice didn’t like him at first, but he was a creative boy who was able to recreate the Ruby Redfort story, by making a volcano erupt . Including having the character Ruby and her partner Clancy Crew hanging on a helicopter for the exhibition .

I thought it was funny because she had a good sense of humour and got very over exited. Also with her obsession with Ruby Redford I was able to read parts of that book to.Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments This was my second time reading Utterly Me, Clarice Bean. I read it aloud to my girls, and I think it may have been for a slightly older audience. The first time I read it alone, I found it much more funny. But my girls completely enjoyed it! Clarice has a very funny narrative voice, and reading it now after the Ruby Redfort spin-off books (which hadn't been written yet the first time I read) was very entertaining. I highly recommend them! And the second book in the Clarice Bean trilogy—it's a lot more funny. Child grew up in Wiltshire as the middle child of three sisters and the daughter of two teachers. She has always been interested in the many aspects of childhood, from gazing into toy shop windows to watching American children's shows from the 1960s. After attending two Art Schools, she travelled for six months, still unsure about which career to embark upon. Utterly me is all about getting through a school project- a book exhibit (and be unscathed by Mrs Wilberton), solving the mystery of her friend; Betty Moody disappearing (of course Clarice Bean presumes the worst) and the missing school trophy (did Karl Wrenbury really steal it?).... I liked it because in Utterly Me there is another story that two children in it read, it’s a Ruby Redfort series. I would recommend this book to children aged 7-10.
