Product Description
Clarice Bean is back in a second riotous family saga. When Mum and Dad both have to go away on Important Business, there's nothing for it but to ask Uncle Ted to babysit. Uncle Ted is a fireman and says he has had lots of close shaves which is funny because he has a beard. Pretty soon chaos reigns as the guinea pig escapes, Grandad disappears and Minal Cricket gets his head stuck in the railings...An older picture book which will make you laugh out loud: Clarice Bean is a real heroine for the new millennium. CLARICE BEAN THAT'S ME winner of the Bronze Award in the Smarties Book Prize "Brilliantly written and drawn by Lauren Child...Clarice Bean has an Eloise-like charm which makes her view on life irresistible"

As we read Clarice Bean books using different voices for all her famiy and friends, My Uncle Is A Hunkle, is a particular joy because we get to go American!! My children love this story because once again, Clarice's phrases and quirkiness are exactly how they see themselves in the world. The illustrations as ever are a delight!

More fun in the Bean household! Mum has to go to New York, and Dad has to go away on IMPORTANT BUSINESS. So who looks after Clarice, Marcie, Minal, Kurt and Grandad while Mum and Dad are away? As a last resort Mum calls in Uncle Ted. After only two days of normality Chaos takes over.
Albert the Guinea Pig gets lost, Minal has an accident and Grandad wanders off.
Lauren Child's book is a long way removed from the pastel coloured world of traditional kid's books. The illustrations are full on, with clever use of photomontage with text and type-fonts that go every which way. Most children will get a kick out of the very stylish layout and quirky humour. You can really believe that young Clarice wrote this book. All young readers will certainly enjoy her latest story.

Do NOT buy this book if you own Clarice Bean 'Guess Who's Babysitting?'. They have different titles and covers but are actually the same book same words and illustrations throughout.
