Clementine

This arrived in excellent condition. The story is very sweet. A gift for my brand new grand daughter Clementine!

It’s very cute. The story is great. The illustrations are nice. I bought this for my daughter, coincidentally named Clementine, birthday. When I also saw that the same author wrote a book called Remembering Crystal, also coincidentally my mother’s name. Happy coincidences.

This is a sweet book with darling illustrations. It is sure to capture the imagination of both boys and girls.

From the inside flap:Once there was a little snail who loved everything round -- hoops and wheels and balls and most of all, the moon. Oh, how she longed to glide gently over the moon's surface, around and around and around.And so she made a daring decision. "I'm going to fly to the moon," she whispered into the night . . ."This is a story about passion and promise. It's a story about the delight of discovering something wonderful right in your own backyard."When I first began reading this delightful little book, I thought it would end up being another book about a particular shape. It is about things that are round, but it also about dreaming and following those dreams as well.What I liked about the book: The illustrations are beautiful. They are full of soft pictures that make it easy for students to point out all things round. I also like that Clementine is not afraid to follow her dream. The story has a nice message about not giving up as well as one about discovering the unexpected close to home. The text in this book is a little longer than that found in most picture books, but it fits well with the story. Teachers of young students will appreciate the educational notes at the end.What I didn't like about the book: I liked it all!Recommended for Pre-K through 1st GradeMrs. Archer's rating: 5 of 5!
