Clarice Bean, Utterly Me

Product Information

But I don’t say it because Mrs Wilberton is allowed to say rude things about me and I am not allowed to say them back. Nonetheless, her style is unique - her illustrations (like her characters) are quirky, mischievous and multi-faceted, combining bright colours and bold, chunky outlines with photographic collages and ‘cut out’ images.

In fact, Clarice Bean is starting to feel just like her favorite heroine: Ruby Redfort, schoolgirl detective. Gr 2-4-Rubio has produced a tour de force in this rendition of Lauren Child's Clarice Bean, Guess Who's Babysitting?I also like how the author rearranges the words to form shapes; it really gives a feeling to the sentences. Child always deliberately intended that the Charlie and Lola stories would appeal to both adults and children, but in different ways. I particularly enjoyed how flawed the teachers were as characters, as well as the acknowledgment that other children can be extremely snarky!

Lauren Child's humorous illustrations contain many different mediums including magazine cuttings, collage, material and photography as well as traditional watercolours. Clarice’s voice is that of a perceptive and astute child who comments with deadpan humour on the goings-on around her, highlighting the ridiculousness of adult behaviour, as well as the adolescent shenanigans of her older brother and sister, and the sheer irritation of little Minal. Like Milne, she captures the humorous idiosyncrasies of human nature, in characters who appeal to both children and adults. I love Lauren Child's style of writing, so light hearted, she makes the every day amusing and interesting.Clarice chose her best friend Betty Moody to do the project, however Betty went away to Russia with her parents for a business trip.
