Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
Rating: four and half stars.
Absolutley gorgeous, a continuation of the character of Clarice Bean from the picture books by Lauren child. Clarice Bean is a hugely appealing character, she is quite witty, always child-like, with the same child-like fascinations and complexities.
In this second book in the series Clarice Bean has a series of problems - there is a spelling Bee at school and Clarice Bean does not like spelling Bees, but in actual fact finds out that she enjoys finding out about words and the meanings. There is a lovely scene in the book where she speaks in Q words, and her mother and father do the same. It is great fun. There are serious things in the background which tend to fly over children's heads. Clarice Bean's friend Karl Wenbury has tracked down his missing father, but is clearly disappointed by the response. While we never actually see this happening Clarice Bean witnesses the aftermath of it all.
At the same time there is the school Play and clarice Bean desparately wants to play Leisl from the Sound of Music, only she is given the part of Nun 4, and then relegated to Nun 7.
Lauren does children and their reactions and idioms beautifully. what she also does nicely is natural justice, which is something very difficult to teach, But sometimes bad things happen to good people, and sometimes things which are true cannot be said and so on. Its a lovely reflection of life for which children 5-9 will find appealing.
Just like the picture books, Lauren Child books are appealing to adults, or this adult at least. In Clarice Bean, Child has created a well-rounded and interesting character, and a fun story - all based around the sortsof things which children do experience.
