Clarice Bean, Guess Who's Babysitting
Checking Availibility...Description
Lauren Child's spunky character returns and -- as if things could get any livelier in Clarice Bean's household --Uncle Ted is babysitting!
Who can Mom and Dad get to babysit the feisty Clarice, her pesky brother Minal Cricket, and the school's guinea pig, Albert, who's visiting for spring break? (Not to mention teenage brother Kurt, who abhors daylight; big sis Marcie, who chats on the phone all day; and Grandad, who tends to wander off.) Only Uncle Ted, firefighter and movie addict, can be persuaded. Will he survive the week?
About this Author
Lauren Child attended art school and did "lots of other things" before writing CLARICE BEAN, THAT'S ME. She designed ceramics for children, worked as an artist's assistant, and created lampshades for her own company. About the inspiration for this book--her first for Candlewick Press--she says, "I grew up with an older sister who read a lot and a younger sister who I had to share a room with whenever we had visitors (which was a lot, and my sister was very untidy, and guess who had to clean up the mess.)"
Reviews
"Child makes the most of every word and inch of space in this uproarious
romp. . . . A sumptuous serving of off beat humor." -- School Library Journal - Starred review
