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! 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. It’s time to take a trip back to Navarino Street (number 7), to join the Tuesday family for the holidays! Es klappt nicht alles wie geplant, aber am Ende ist es doch der Geist der Weihnacht, der alles zusammenhält. I’m happy to report that not only was it entirely suitable I found myself laughing out loud at some of the perfectly painted family moments - and very pleased by the happy ending.

About this book she says, "My childhood memories of Christmas are all good--even the things that went wrong were good.She's worked with mixed media, pioneered text as an integral part of illustration and collaborated with artists across different fields.

Since she was first published in 1999, Lauren has sold over six million books in 19 languages worldwide. 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. Her work really grasped me as a child and made me realise how much fun literature could be - was just as fun being reunited with Clarice Bean as an adult! A delightful story to read this time of the year about the wonder of Christmas and with an added special message of hope, compassion and humankind. During that time she focused on raising the profile of illustration as a sophisticated art form for all ages.

Her first Charlie and Lola book, I Will Not Ever Never Eat a Tomato was listed in the top 10 Kate Greenaway Medal winners of all time.
