Clementine, Clementine, Clementine

The Talented Clementine
Clementine's Letter
by Sara Pennypacker

We all know how incredible the Clementine books are, so I won't go on and on and on about them. Instead, I'll just share some of my favorite lines from these books:

I have noticed that teachers get exciting confused with boring a lot. But when my teacher said, "Class, we have an exciting project to talk about," I listened anyway.

In my classroom, a surprise was waiting: we had a substitute. Mrs. Righty-O. I call her that because she always sayd "Righty-O." Also, okay, fine, because I can't ever remember her name.

Whenever my teacher needs someone to run an errand to the principal's office, he sends me. This is because I am so responsible. Okay, fine, it's also because I get sent so often I could find my way with my eyes closed. Which I tried once. You'd be amazed at how many bruises you can get from just one water fountain.

If you haven't read the Clementine series - do so now! There are so many laugh out loud parts in the story. Clementine is one of the most original and funny characters I have met in a long time.

Clementine is probably one of my favorite series. It may be a little easy for me but hey,who doesn't like a great, funny book?

I agree - Clementine goes beyond the easy, just-right, and someday categories. Clementine should be read by EVERYONE. It's just that funny. It's one of the few books where I laugh out loud throughout the entire book.

Alaina,
I have Clementine's Letter in the classroom - I'm not sure if someone has it checked out or not. I love all things Clementine - she's one of the best characters!
