I really enjoyed reading this book! Clementine's sense of Humor and the way the book was writen was very interesting. My favorite part of the book was the end when she thought she was going to be sent away for being bad, but she wasn't! I wonder how brocolli is doing? What was his real name?

We thought Clementine was hysterical. However, she doesn't act like a typical 9 year old - more like a 5 or 6 year old. She was very imaginative with names - especially naming her new cat "Moisturizer"! We would highly recommend this book to 2nd - 4th graders.

I like when she cuts her hair, then she
draws a picture and how it look's like a dandalion!!!!!!!

i like clementine because she always calls her little brother brocili and that's not all but it is hilarious and she had got in trouble for cutting off margrett's hair when it wasn't only her fault and she had to go see the princepal a.k.a princepal rice and last but not least she and the other characters calls the princepal princepal rice and that's another thing that is really hilarious who ever wrote these books must be really funny or really hilarious.p.s people are making funny books these days.

I like Clementine because it was funny when Clementine cut off margrets hair and colerd it with marker to make it look like she had hair on top of her head.Also Clementine cut off her own hair.Finally at the end Clementine got a new cat it was amazing.

Clemintine is my favorite book because it's a comedy book,and those are my favorite books. Sara pennypacker is a great author that should make more comedy books for older and little kids. My Favorite part of clemintine is when she dies her hair green! If you like comedy books and green hair you should go to your local libray and rent Clemintine.

[Jessica B. Symmes Elementary, 4th Grade]

Sadly, Clementine was not actually my favorite book in the world. The author could have given the characters so much more.. well, character. More details would have been nice, too.

[sydni ms.fitch 4th grade class fairmont park el]

i like this book because she calls her little brother brocili because she is jealous because she named after food and he's not so she call him brocili.and she cutt margrett's hair all off and said it wasn't only my fault and the funniest part of the story is that she and all of the other characters calls her princepal princepal rice and wo would call their princepal princepal rice and at the end of the story she got a cat and went in the bathroom and looked around at all the stuff and found some mosterizer stuff and named her mosterizer and who in the world would name their cat mosterizer well i know. a little 8 year old named clemtine.

The story Clemintine is a very cool story. Clemintine likes to show her individuality in different ways. To me I think she reminds me of my sister. She is a helpful little girl and I think that we should all take what she does and show our personality. Just like her!!!! She is kind of a okay role-model in a weird way!!!

[RMS 4th grade,southern oak]

i think Clementine is such a good book because it is humorous, wow! if you want a good book you should choose Clementine. Green hair are you kidding me? it is so awesome it is like an adventure.

[courtny b. 4th]

the book is very instrating on chapter 1 becase when she cut off all of the girl's hair.

[Caroline]

CLEMINTINE is my favorite book!The reason I like the book Clementine is because how Sara Pennypacker uses desciption and details.I think the FANTASTIC book Clementine is very ENTERTAINING!She always tells how somthing is not right.

[c.b.]

Clementine is a pretty funnny book. I think some of the questions on the battle of the books competion may be pretty hard because there are alot of things you can forget or miss while reading. did you know there are sequals to this book called the talented clementine and clementines letter?

[kaylie simon]

amazingly hysterical

[alayna tiffany]

I love this book!! Clementine always gets in trouble for messing up. Like cuting off margrets hair. That was so funny. Read it!!!!!

[K.R.]

This book is hilarious! CLemintine is so sneaky and always searching for ways to get in trouble. I have to admit her it was funny when Clementine cut Magaret's hair. She's quite smart to think of the Great PIgeon War idea. Everyone if you didn't read this fabulous book READ IT! YOU"LL LOVE IT!

Clementine is always being accused of not paying attention, but to her perspective, she is! She is also jealous of her brother because she was named after a fruit and he wasn't. The main problem is that she got in trouble for cutting Margret's hair(which she didn't). Smaller problem's branch off of that problem. If you're looking for a funny book, then Clementine is the book for you.
