Clarice Bean: The Utterly Complete Collection: The Utterly

Most of these things are just bigger for children because they haven’t learnt to deal with those situations so they seem much more scary. But I think pretty much everything, even the fussy eater […] carries on applying at any age.' Betty Moody is Clarice Bean's best friend, and they do most things together. Clarice and Betty both love the Ruby Redfort series. Betty also loves dogs, and in the first book she received a dog from Clarice's grandad's best friend. She appears in the series wearing glasses. She and her parents traveled a lot, along with call-me-Mol and call-me-Cecil. In the last book, she moves to San Francisco because call-me-Mol goes to California for a vacation, but finds a job and decides to stay there.E.H. Shepherd was of course the famous illustrator of A.A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh books, and Child’s characters and stories in many ways echo Milne’s writing as well as Shepherd’s illustrations. Like Milne, she captures the humorous idiosyncrasies of human nature, in characters who appeal to both children and adults. She is often described as having a fascination with childhood, yet it is more than this, for it encompasses an exploration of human nature as a whole. Child’s titles, particularly those in the ‘Charlie and Lola’ series, appear at first glance to be toddler-like statements, yet they also capture the ‘inner child’ that most adults (if they are being honest) will recognise in themselves. I Will Not Ever, Never Eat a Tomato (2000), But Excuse Me That Is My Book (2005) and I Absolutely Must Do Colouring-In Now (2006) encapsulate both child-nature and adult-nature with the same comical insight that is evident in Eeyore’s glumness, Piglet’s excitability and Pooh’s pondering. Perhaps the delight of such books, and the reason they appeal to adults as well as children, is that they bridge the gulf between childhood and adulthood, encouraging adults to identify and embrace their own childlike qualities, while also celebrating those qualities in children. 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. PW said of this story in which a clever boy cajoles his fussy sister into eating foods she says she hates, "Youngsters will never not Continue reading » And I said, “Oh you think these are carrots. These are not carrots. They are orange twiglets from Jupiter.”

Clarice Bean, Utterly Me by Lauren Child | Hachette UK

I thought it was funny because she had a good sense of humour and got very over exited. Also with her obsession with Ruby Redford I was able to read parts of that book to. Charlie’s efforts are not only creative and amusing, but are also evidence of how much he cares for his little sister. The love between the two children gently suffuses every story, while the quirky humour and mischievous behaviour ensure that it is never depicted in a sentimental manner. Clarice Bean loves reading the adventures of Ruby Redfort, ace girl detective and secret undercover agent. Ruby is always going on exciting missions, but the most Clarice gets to do is go to the local shop on her own . . . Really funny and I loved the characters in it. My favourite character is Clarice Bean because she's the main character and I also like her best friend Betty Moody. I would recommend someone else to read it because it is a really good book.I used to love this book when I was a kid. I remember my mother gave it to me and that it was the first big book I'd ever read! I was really excited! This book it's cute and funny. It's rare to find a children's book as funny as this one. Also, I reread it when I was in High School because I found it in my school's library. Does any one else thinks her favourite author looks like Clarice Lispector? Maybe that's why her name is Clarice, I don't know... It's just a thought. I have to say though, I can see why the girls love this series. It's well written, funny and full of clever little asides about family and school and relationships. Personally, I found the Ruby Redfort interludes like a less realistic Alex Rider, but I'm not nine years old. The writing made me smile several times and actively giggle once so I would imagine the girls would be in fits of giggles. A spin-off series titled Ruby Redfort, which the US publisher called a "six-book middlegrade fiction series" in advance, was inaugurated in 2011. [1] Books [ edit ] 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.
