A Mom's Review....
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
I just finished reading this book to my 6 year old daughter. She really enjoyed it though it was a bit over her head. I on the other hand, was "utterly" entranced. I just can't stop thinking about this book. It was incredible on so many levels. It touched on several important themes... loneliness, loss, worry, bullying, moving, incorrect assumptions..... without being at all patronizing. Far from being annoying, I found Clarice Bean's peculiar conversational cadence made the story that much more real... and towards the last few chapters, even poetic. The book is rich and amazing... definitely one to reread.... Kudos to Lauren Child, very well done !!!!!
The Rare Talent of Lauren Child
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
There are already many good reviews of the various Clarice Bean books; I don't wish to reinvent the wheel. All that I really want to add is that Lauren Child has that rare gift of being able to write about a child's thoughts with humor and genuine insight. This is much harder than it looks.
Love this book!

Very interesting and suprising
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I'm 8 years old and I like the Clarice Bean books. In this book Clarice Bean is upset because her best friend Betty Moody moved to California for her dad's job. Clarice misses her a lot. Other things start to go wrong like a new kid named Clem Hansson is sitting in Betty Moody's seat and Clarice doesn't like her that much. There are some problems with Clarice's house and they need to get it fixed. Clarice's new room is an attic, and she's a little nervous because she doesn't like spiders and there are a lot of them in the attic. My opinion about this book is that it is a very good book. I thought the book was very interesting. I read it in less than two days. I liked it a lot more than Clarice Bean Spells Trouble, and it's about as good as Utterly Me, Clarice Bean. I think a lot of kids would like this book.
I love this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Review of Clarice Bean, Don't Look Now, by Lauren Child By MJ age 9 I love this book! It was sooooo hard to put it down! This book is the BEST! (You must read the other books in the Clarice Bean series or this one won't make sense!) Clarice Bean is miserable because Betty Moody has moved very far away. As her house is repaired, Clarice Bean has been e-mailing Betty Moody because Clarice Bean's phone isn't working. To make matters worse, a new kid comes to school and Clarice thinks she is a bully. Her name is Clem, Clem Hansson. Want to know more? Well, I don't want to ruin surprises, do I? =)
