Clarice Bean: Think Like an Elf: The utterly joyful and sparkling new Clarice Bean Christmas story from Lauren Child

Product Information

I love Clarice Bean. Her voice is so clear, her personality so infectious. She is joyful and hopeful and energetic without being stupidly sentimental; she is funny and real in her disappointments and worries but doesn't give up. Visually, the book is original and appealing, with drawings, photos, and colorful collages illustrating the story and the text printed in red. Clarice’s lively, amusing first-person narrative offers a fresh take on the holiday season as experienced by a child growing up in a quirky but lovable family. A rewarding addition to the Clarice Bean series of transitional chapter books. Clarice Bean usually looks forward to Christmas. Except this year it is going to be a quiet-ish Christmas in her house, which doesn't feel right because Christmas is all about noisiness and being full up and FAMILY. Lauren Child MBE is an English author and illustrator. She was the UK Children's Laureate from 2017-19.

Clarice Bean is worried that her family is losing their Christmas spirit. Her grandmother tells her to think like an elf, and find ways to help the people around her. She finds little things to do to serve others, and discovers that the Christmas spirit is not in the gifts you receive, but in showing others you care.It seems to be a big hit with the kids and younger generation, with some kids standing behind me getting very excited to seeing the window.

And of course as always there’s the annoying glass glare/reflections that spoil the photos! (and Greggs getting their annual free advertising) Sadly not a lot which can be done about that. Her book I Will Not Ever Never Eat A Tomato won the 2000 Kate Greenaway Medal. For the 50th anniversary of the Medal (1955–2005), a panel named it one of the top ten winning works, which comprised the shortlist for a public vote for the nation's favourite. It finished third in the public vote from that shortlist.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.
