Product Information

The one and only Clarice Bean is back to save her family’s Christmas in this sparkling story of joy, goodwill to all peoplekind, and some very Clarice catastrophes, perfect for sharing with all the family! We've read all of the Clarice Bean books that we've been able to find plus the Charlie and Lola books and others that Lauren Child has written or collaborated on. Se me hizo larguísimo y aburrido porque no entendí casi nada pues el audiolibro está grabado en inglés británico y a mí me cuesta mucho entenderlo además de que no me gustó la voz de la narradora. Young Clarice shares her every thought on the angst and antics of Christmas with 3 siblings: Kurt, Marcie and little Minal Cricket - plus Clarice herself, her exhausted but loving parents, dear Grandad and Clement the Dog.

And without those things, she is going to have to try exceptionordinarily hard to stop the Christmas spirit completely floating away… But luckily, there is no one in the world like Clarice Bean – and she is going to THINK LIKE AN ELF, and that means everything will be A-OKAY. She’s been at the forefront of innovation for 20 years and has collaborated with high-profile artists across different fields. Clarice already knows that family and friends truly make Christmas - but it doesn't hurt to make several copies of wish-list letters to Father Christmas (even if Marcie does say, 'You'll be lucky').Lauren Child has been at the forefront of innovation in children's books for over 15 years and has raised the profile of illustration as an artform for all ages.

And without those things, she is going to have to try exceptionordinarily hard to stop the Christmas spirit completely floating away…But luckily, there is no one in the world like Clarice Bean – and she is going to THINK LIKE AN ELF, and that means everything will be A-OKAY. Before writing and illustrating children's books Child started her own company 'Chandeliers for the People' making lampshades. She is joyful and hopeful and energetic without being stupidly sentimental; she is funny and real in her disappointments and worries but doesn't give up. Clarice is a quirky and often hilarious narrator, but the loveliest thing about this book (as well as Lauren Child’s superlative collaged and sketched illustrations) is its warm-hearted celebration of sharing and families.She finds little things to do to serve others, and discovers that the Christmas spirit is not in the gifts you receive, but in showing others you care. Everyone is scattering to different places and Clarice is afraid that the spirit of Christmas will be lost. During that time she focused on raising the profile of illustration as a sophisticated art form for all ages. Still, there’s a lot to do even to prepare for a Christmas for seven, whether that’s remembering to send off Granny’s parcel to New York, taking singing lessons for the Christmas concert, making fudge or helping Clarice’s friend Karl walk his dogs – and source a perfect wooden spoon.
