A Fun Read

Recently I've been thinking about the chapter books I will pick to read to the kids during our upcoming weekly read-a-thons (starting Thursday, June 4 at 10 a.m.). I decided on Sara Pennypacker's hilarious book Clementine to start with. I challenge anyone to read the first five pages of the book without laughing. I will seriously give you a prize if you can do it.

Clementine is a very impulsive girl who has trouble staying focused on the teacher when she's in school. She always means well, but usually ends up getting into trouble because she doesn't think things through very often. Anyone would like this book, but I think it would be especially fun for kids in grades 2-5.
