Just picked up a copy from the library. I will start it soon.

I read this one and several other of the Clarice Bean books in December - tried to get a jumpstart on the new year. They are fairly quick, enjoyable reads.

Fun and humorous. One of the lessons you might get from this book (which I agree with) is that a book doesn't have to be "useful". Love how Clarice can't wait to get back to reading about Ruby.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book!
