(Age: 6-10) Recommended. Fans are in for lots of fun in the latest
collection of three of the Clementine Rose stories in one
large book. It will be thrilling for young readers to have a large
book in their hands and emerging readers are sure to feel important
and secure in their reading with this delightful collection. It is
interspersed with funny illustrations that add to its appeal. The
print is large and clear, very suitable for this age group. At the
end of each story is a list of characters and their roles.
All three books have previously been reviewed on ReadPlus:
The first story is Clementine
Rose and the wedding wobbles, where Clementine prepares
to be a bridesmaid in her mother's wedding to Drew. Chaos must be
averted!
Clementine
Rose and the bake-off dilemma follows, with Clementine
having inside access to the cooking show that is being filmed in the
village.
Then comes Clementine
Rose and the best news yet and Clementine Rose's news is
that she is to have a new brother or sister.
As one reviewer writes: "Clementine is ageless as the young
seven-year-old with the propensity for creating smiles and sometimes
getting things slightly wrong".
