Clarice Bean, Utterly Me

Product Information

The flibbertigibbet, middle-child star of three picture books jumps to a more extended format without losing her exuberance, short attention span, or stream-of-consciousness style of narration.

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. urn:lcp:utterlymeclarice00chil_0:lcpdf:8c5bd1c0-1fba-42a9-83f3-08e5875f471c Foldoutcount 0 Identifier utterlymeclarice00chil_0 Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t1kh1nt8c Isbn 9780763627881 Shadow-box boudoirs and forest dioramas set the stages for this retelling, designed in flamboyant typefaces and populated by glamorous paper cutouts.

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. Ongoing Covid restrictions, reduced air and freight capacity, high volumes and winter weather conditions are all impacting transportation and local delivery across the globe. Before writing and illustrating children's books Child started her own company 'Chandeliers for the People' making lampshades. It was only when she came to write and illustrate the book Clarice Bean, That's Me that she decided to devote her time to writing and illustrating books for children, which combines her fascination for childhood and her talent for designing and creating. Child gets her inspiration from other people's conversations or from seeing something funny happen.I enjoyed the story and that Clarice and Betty Moody used tips from the Ruby Redfort stories to solve the mystery of the Missing Book Report Trophy.

It is utterly impossible to be bored reading any of her work. This was my second time reading Utterly Me, Clarice Bean. I read it aloud to my girls, and I think it may have been for a slightly older audience. The first time I read it alone, I found it much more funny. But my girls completely enjoyed it! Clarice has a very funny narrative voice, and reading it now after the Ruby Redfort spin-off books (which hadn't been written yet the first time I read) was very entertaining. I highly recommend them! And the second book in the Clarice Bean trilogy—it's a lot more funny. Lauren Child is the 10th Waterstones Children's Laureate. Of the role she said, “I want to inspire children to believe in their own creative potential, to make their own stories and drawings and ignite in them the delight of reading for pleasure. In an increasingly fast paced world, children need the freedom to dream and imagine; to enjoy reading, drawing and telling their own stories without value judgement or restraint”.
