I think Clementime Wan't a great book. But that was because I don't enjoy books as much if I am sitting at the back of the room and listening to it. I think I might've liked it more if I read it myself.The book was good though. I like the plot. If I read it again I will probaly like it.

I liked this book because Clementine found names in the bathroom. I liked Margaret because she was organized. Clementine was helpful and unorganized and wanted bracelets for her teeth.

The book was very interesting to read and we would recommend it to children. We thought Clementine was a funny and original. She chose strange names for her pets from the bathroom.we wonder if Clementine will find another reason to help her father in his job.

You have to read this book!It is called Clamentine. Clementine is a great book about an 8 year old girl who has a terrible week at school. If you want, read the whole book Clementine.

Clementine is really funny. I like how she calls her brother "Rutabaga", "Radish","Spinach",and things like that.
I also like how she and her dad had the business for getting rid of the pigeons. And when Clementine and Margaret cut each other's hair.
On a scale of 1 to 100, I would rate it 110!

This is a blog entry about the book Clementine. The main character is Clementine. In the story there are many prblems. The most important problem is Clementine gets herself and other people in a lot of trouble.
Something I learned is not to get people in a lot of trouble because it can totally backfire. In the story everytime Clementine tells on the person the thing she tells on them for is really dumb.
If you want to know the type of book it is then I'll tell you. The type of book it is, is a drama book. It is verry funny and has words that are easy to read but not too easy. This book is perfect for a teacher to read to their children and for children who like drama books. This is a great book to read so read it now!

"Pay attention or follow the rules" is always told to Clementine. If you like humorous books, you'll enjoy Clementine by
Sara Pennypacker. What makes this book halarous is the strange things Clementine does like cut her friend's hair or color her own face with markers! I really enjoyed this book I'm sure you will too.

Clementine is a funny and interesting book. Clementine is a silly character. Clementine has many odd ideas like the great pigeon war. Clementine is always unpredictable. You never know what she is going to do next! The funniest part was when she suggested that her dad should put diapers on the pigeons. Clementine was also funny when she drew ringlets with her hi-liter on Margaret's head.

Did you ever feel great by saving your hometown from pigeons? A girl who is name Clementine makes a life harder for her family because Clementine fights pigeons. She used a waterhose and diapers and got them all mad.That's why she wants to make the world a better place for her hometown. I like this book because it shows that kids have a way of showing that they can help the world. If you want to know how Clemetine got to fight pigeons and what she got at the party you can if you read Clementine by Sara
PennyParker.

I really enjoyed reading Clementine by Sara Pennypacker. She is a pretty outrageous kid, because of the way she talks, such as how she calls her brother vegetable names and is afraid of pointy things. Most kids will enjoy this book because she seems like a real person.

We like her personality. She is funny and wacky. She makes up words. Our favorite part is when she finds out how to stop the Pigeon War. Another favorite part is when she wore the stilts. She likes to help people, but she does it in a weird way. We all read this book. You should really read this because it was interesting.
