Clarice Bean - too young for 7yo girls?

[Gillian76]

Am ordering en masse from Amazon for Christmas so haven't actually read the new Clarice Bean book.

What do you think?

Anyone?

Cod, where are you?

my 7yo son loves it.

Are some of the earlier ones picture book style? The newest one is traditional 'novel' style with black and white pics.

ooh no

just the right age

And are they picture book style?

Some of them are picture book style but 3 of them are short novels. They are all fab! We started with the picture books and then progressed but we still buy all of the new picture books even though, at 9, dd2 is prob a bit old for them now.

sort of she makes the text into words often
REALLY deffo the right age
start int he right order htough

OK so what's the right order, then? They are twins so I'll get the first 2

utterly me
i think
i looke don amazon i htink "clarice bean thats me"is a picture book ratht er confusingly

Be warned that one of the books has a remark about Father Christmas - if the child in question still believes you may want to vet it first....

My ds had them at 8 - loved them. Still reads them as "comfort reading" now! Also try Judy Moody. Same sort of thing.
