Jan's Reviews > The Talented Clementine

In my review of the first book in this series I said that some of Clementine's ideas are doozies. Well, this one has some that go way beyond that, and then some. Clementine means well, and her ideas always sound good, but she doesn't always, (hardly ever!), think things through. This one had me laughing so hard, but also thinking what wonderfully tolerant and loving parents she has. She is a very lucky kid.

Clementine wants to come up with something for the school talent show, but doesn't think she's talented at anything. Maybe she could tap dance like her friend Margaret, but she would need tap shoes for that. Hey, what about gluing bottle caps onto the bottom of her tennis shoes? They would make a great clickety clickety sound and she knows just where to get a bunch of bottle caps. The condo association has beer in the refrigerator for their meetings. Won't they be happy when they have their next meeting and they don't have to take the bottle caps off their beer because it will already be done for them? They will definitely thank her! Oh boy :(
