A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLLING SERIES

This delightful chapter book series, from the award-winning author of Pax, is a modern classic that has been keeping readers engaged and laughing as they follow the hijinks of Clementine, a clever and quirky third grader who’s the most spectacular friend around. Perfect for fans of Amelia Bedelia and Ivy + Bean!

Clementine is NOT having a good week.

On Monday she's sent to the principal's office for cutting off Margaret's hair. On Tuesday, Margaret's mother is mad at her. On Wednesday, she's sent to the principal, again. On Thursday, Margaret stops speaking to her. Then Friday starts with yucky eggs and only gets worse. And by Saturday, even her mother is mad at her.

Okay, fine. Clementine is having a DISASTROUS week. But maybe can she find a way to make it better.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Starred Review. Grade 2-4–Clementine, a not-so-common third grader, knows her way around the principal's office as well as she does the art-supply closet. Daily rituals take on a different view when seen from her eyes. She's constantly being told that she needs to pay attention, but to her mind she is paying attention and making astute observations. Whether looking out the window during the Pledge of Allegiance at the janitor locked in an embrace with the lunch lady or dealing with a pesky pigeon problem at her apartment building, her concentration is always focused. Clementine goes to great lengths to be friends with fourth-grade neighbor, Margaret, but more times than not, both girls end up in trouble. Humorous scenarios tumble together, blending picturesque dialogue with a fresh perspective as only the unique Clementine can offer. When the protagonist pleads to skip school because of a self-inflicted haircut fiasco, she tries to convince her mom that she must have caught arthritis from old Mrs. Jacobi or has possibly come down with the heartbreak of sore irises. Frazee's engaging pen-and-ink drawings capture the energy and fresh-faced expressions of the irrepressible heroine. And even though she confesses that I do not think fathers should be comedians, her parents are portrayed as being fairly cool. A delightful addition to any beginning chapter-book collection.–Cheryl Ashton, Amherst Public Library, OH

Amazing Book!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 4, 2016

This book is an awesome choice for 2nd grade level readers. I only say that because I am a 2nd grade teacher and my students love her, but some words I still have to help them with, but not very often. is the first book in the now seven book Series. So far my two daughters say that they love the Clementine books, and now are becoming obsessed with Clementine and her whole story plot about her. They also say they can relate to many things that happen to Clementine, good or bad experiences!

Clementine a very witty character that my daughters love and adore. They follow her through her ups and downs of life. They bring their kindle tablets everywhere just so that they can listen to Clementine anywhere and everywhere! They say the Clementine series is the best series they have both ever ever read! I read them the actual books at night before bed.

I would recommend this book series to all kids and parents alike. I enjoy reading the series with my daughters, and of course, like I earlier said, they absolutely love the series. So get this, it totally worth every penny that I used to buy it!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 17, 2007

When the review of Clementine appeared in Book Pages, I immediately put in a request with our library director to let me know when it arrived. It is a delightful and believable story based on my personal acquaintance with redheads ! No discrimination intended, no stereotypes referenced... However I am definitely recommending it to a friend who has a CLEMENTINE AND a LIMA BEAN, aka Spinach, Broccoli, etc !!

Clementine's parents handle her genuine intentional acts of mercy and compassion (vs. attention deficit disorderly conduct !) with wisdom and creativity. The author portrays Clementine as a very likeable little girl and far from mischievous or, heaven-forbid, naughty. The government school officials react in the usual manner and fail to see the delightful value in this compassionate and very bright little girl. Clementine's relationship with her friend Margaret is admirable and her respect for the adults in the story is noteworthy.

I enjoyed this little book immensely, and even read excerpts aloud to our Sunday afternoon family gathering made up of little grandchildren, young adult children, and older adults. There is enough humor in this charming story right up front and in between the lines to make it a entertaining read-aloud !!

Have fun with Clementine....She's a great little kid !

BRILLIANT!!!

I agree with Jaquelyn Mitchard's review and her statement, "I wish I'd written it!" I read about this book in Book Page from the local library and immediately put it on reserve - it wasn't even out yet! Mind you, I'm a 50-something empty nester! But I LOVE great children's books and this is DEFINITELY going to be a classic. Clementine is the gutsy, imaginative, free-spirited girl we all wanted to be. Author Sara Pennypacker is sheer genius! I laughed out loud all the way through and constantly found myself marveling at this phrase or that. Like this one - "I jumped up and gave my dad a kiss right where his beard stops being crunchy." Hilarious!

And if the characters and quirky scenarios and crazy plot lines weren't enough, Marla Freeze gives us the perfect pictures of Clementine in all her glory. An award-winning combination if ever there was one!

My kids are grown and off at college, but I've already decided to start a Clementine collection for my future grandchildren. Bravo, Pennypacker & Frazee! Bravo Clementine! Can't wait for the next one!

My second grade teacher read this book out loud to the class, and I thought that it was really funny. Then my mom got it and we read it out loud together with my little sister, and we all enjoyed it.

My favorite part about it was when Clementine thought about ceiling snakes in the principal's office. My little sister's favorite part was when Clementine was explaining about the different ways to pay attention, like noticing the lunch lady and the janitor kissing in a car in the school parking lot when she was supposed to be working on journal writing. And it was really funny!

Cheerful and good hearted

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 22, 2011

Verified Purchase

Clementine is a good kid who has the occasional "what were you thinking moment". Many of the authors who try these kinds of book, including some of the best known and most often recommended, can be surprisingly tone deaf about what is cute and what is funny. Many are bad at including siblings or parents in the tales. In the Clementine books, like in the "Ivy & Bean" books, our heroine is cheerful, energetic, bright, loyal and always well-intentioned without being anywhere near sappy or prissy. The parents are calm, loving and reasonable. That makes these books easy to like and a pleasure to recommend.

My students loved joining Clementine on her mischievous adventures. We were entertained by stories of the great pigeon war and Bologna glasses. Well written with lovely illustrations, I suggest this for early primary school students.

Schönes Buch

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on April 23, 2023

Ich habe dieses Buch zusammen mit meiner neuen jährigen Tochter gelesen. Ich spreche hier eine absolute Kaufempfehlung aus. Es handelt um ein kleines Mädchen die eine stillsitze Allergie hat. Außerdem fühlt sie sich nicht gerecht behandelt von ihren Eltern. Es ist sehr humorvoll geschrieben. Clementine macht verschiedene Sachen aus guten Absichten, die ja leider nicht so erkannt werden. Beim Lesen bringt es uns Eltern zum schmunzeln und auch meine Tochter mit den neuen Jahren hatte viel Freude daran.

Bauchkrämpfe

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on May 14, 2010

Verified Purchase

Bauchkrämpfe habe ich von diesem Buch bekommen, ja. Aber nicht vom Lachen, sondern eher vor Enttäuschung ...

Clementine ist ein typisches "hyperaktives" Kind der heutigen Zeit. Ständig ist sie abgelenkt von irgendetwas, unkonzentriert und auf dem Sprung zu anderem als dem, was sie gerade tut, tun soll oder gar tun will. Sie richtet dabei - trotz einer der Welt gegenüber freundlichen aber eben auch sehr naiven Grundeinstellung - immer neues und tieferes Chaos an. Die schriftstellerischen Ideen hinter dieser Geschichte kommen dabei allerdings reichlich bemüht daher, die Effekte sind angestrengt und so sensationslüstern wie abgeschnittene und mit Filzstift nachgefärbte Stoppelhaare. Zudem ist Clementine auf Grund ihrer Naivität resistent dagegen einzusehen, wie die Unordnung um sie herum eigentlich entsteht. Was witzig sein könnte, wenn mehr als einmal auch etwas tatsächlich Lustiges oder gar Sinnolles dabei herauskäme. Dabei hilft auch die Figur des Daddy nicht, der wohl das coole Bild des modernen Vaters darstellen soll, aber nur ein unterbelichteter Kumpeltyp bleibt.

Der Blick aus dem Kellerfenster mit der ungewöhnlichen Perspektive auf die Füße der Vorübergehenden ist symptomatisch für das gesamte Buch: Gepaart mit einer einfachen Erzählweise kommt nur eine oberflächliche Sicht der Welt zustande. Die teilweise guten Ideen zünden nicht. Clementine ist ein Buch, das den üblichen amerikanischen Filmen mit den immer gleichen Themen auf der Großleinwand nicht nachsteht. Denn die Geschichte kommt über das gesamte Buch hinweg immer nur auf ein paar Zentimeter Tiefgang.

Bleibt die Vermutung, dass es bewusste oder unbewusste Absicht der Autorin war, Clementine in die Fußstapfen Pippi Langstrumpfs treten zu lassen. Falls dies so wäre, so versänke das arme Kind leider bis über beide Ohren darin: Vom ebenfalls nicht unchaotischen Original ist Clementine so weit entfernt wie Amerika vom alten Kontinent.

Wer wirklichen Geist und Witz in modernen Geschichten über Zehnjährige finden will, ist bei Ella, Lola oder dem Pärchen Lise und Bulle besser aufgehoben. Wenn aber gar nichts anderes zur Hand ist, mag Clementine auch mal eine Wartezeit auf Bahnhof oder Flughafen überbrücken ... Ein Buch, das Schaden anrichten kann, ist es nicht.

Nicht altersmäßig

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on April 3, 2014

Uns hat Clementine nicht gefallen. Sie ist weder besonders lustig noch besonders liebenswert. Ihre Missgeschicke und Überlegungen sind für ihr Alter kleinkindmäßig albern und damit fällt Clementine für uns eher unter "etwa doof". Zu der kleinen Lotta aus der Krachmacherstraße würden die Geschichten passen, aber nicht zu einem Grundschulkind.
Drei Punkte dafür, dass die Geschichten trotz alledem realistisch und für Kinder gut nachvollziehbar sind - abgesehen eben davon, dass Leser in Clementines Alter auf so einen Blödsinn nicht selbst kämen.

A mia figlia di nove anni è piaciuta tanto questa storia di Clementine, simpatica bambina che ne combina una dopo l'altra...dice che a tratti fa anche ridere e mi ha chiesto di comprare il secondo volume (Che talento, Clementine!). Libro di facile lettura scritto in prima persona che non consiglio a chi ama solo libri di avventure.
