Product Description:
'Fans of Child's irrepressible, impulsive picture-book heroine — as well as kids who have not yet had the pleasure of making her acquaintance — will devour her very first chapter-book adventure.' —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
It's not easy to concentrate at school when mysterious things are happening all around you. In fact, Clarice Bean is starting to feel just like her favorite heroine: Ruby Redfort, schoolgirl detective. Clarice and her utterly best friend, Betty Moody, are planning to ace their book project about Ruby and win the class prize, until Betty disappears into thin air, and horrible teacher Mrs. Wilberton teams Clarice up with the naughtiest boy in school. Will her new partner ruin everything? Will Betty ever come back? And what on earth happened to the silver trophy everyone's hoping to win? Lauren Child brings her trademark wacky wit and eccentric visual energy to a full-length, fastpaced Clarice Bean episode that will charm even the most capricious reader.

This was a gift to my daughter. I think I was into it more then her.
I liked the descriptions of Clarice Bean, her family, friends and school mates. Everybody probably has known such people in their life times.
Clarice loves to read Ruby Redfort ace detective with her detective helper Hitch. Her friend Betty Moody loves the books as well and one day in school, they get an assignment to do a presentation about a book. Clarice at very first is stumped for a choice; especially, when Betty mysteriously disappears.
In a stroke of imagination, she decides on the Redfort books and to her surprise she gets teamed up with the class troublemaker Karl Wrenbury since Betty is missing.
Mystery abounds as somebody floods the boys bathrooms, where did Betty go?, who stole a trophy, will the arch-nemesis Grace Grapello spoil the book project, Clarice's mother is acting strange and why is her brother Kurt a stranger to cleanliness becoming clean and talking to people?
This is a good book for a young girl. The wandering style and imagination of Clarice is fun. Especially with the wavy sentences and fun artwork.
If you are reading it; you have to try and imagine the character talking and read the same way! It will add to the story.
Overall it's a fun read. However, I found my girl getting confused at times when the story switched to a passage of Ruby Redfort.
On to the subsequent book!

This was one of the best books I have read over the years. It was very interesting because it tells you a lot about one of her favorite books, Ruby Redfort Runs. It's very funny how she uses "utterly" a lot. Clarice's teacher is Ms. Wilberton. It is interesting how Ruby Redfort has the same type of teacher as Clarice. Ruby's teacher's name is Ms. Disco. Clarice's best friend is named Betty Moody and they both like the Ruby Redfort series. Betty Moody and Clarice do a book report on Ruby Redfort and it's interesting how they learn so much about clues and solve the mystery of the stolen trophy cup.

Book Review
What Mrs. Wilberton is up arms about is that, ``Someone, and I've got a pretty good idea who you are, has stolen the book exhibit winners cup'!''
Clarice Bean and her best friend Betty Moody are doing a book exhibit called Ruby Redford, but when the book exhibit winner's cup is stolen it's up to them to find out who. Is it , Mrs. Wilberton ? Or is it Grace Grapollo?
My favorite part of the book is when Clarice Bean writes a letter to the author of the Ruby Redford books. Patricia E. Maplin Stacy, and Clarice and Betty get a letter back. I like this part because I would know how Clarice felt. I love to read books and I am kind of like Clarice Bean herself.
I gave this book a five star book. If you like mysteries you should read Utterly Me, Clarice Bean by Lauren child. One of the reasons I think makes this a good book is when Lauren Child uses real cloth. I also think what makes this a good book is when she uses real pictures then puts in a little animation. One of the pictures has a hippo wearing glasses! You should read utterly me Clarice Bean.
I think the authors purpose/ moral of Utterly Me, Clarice Bean is you always learn something even when you think you don't.
