"A delightful addition to any beginning chapter-book collection."
-School Library Journal, 10/06 STARRED REVIEW

"Along with humorous bits, Pennypacker seamlessly weaves into the narrative common third-grade themes...Fans of Judy Moody will welcome this portrait of another funny, independent third-grader."
-Publishers Weekly, 08/06 STARRED REVIEW

"Middle-grade readers will sympathize with Clementine's conflicted feelings about her friend and her family, and laugh out loud at her impulsive antics, narrated in a fresh first-person voice and illustrated with plenty of humor. Give this to readers of Cleary and Blume and cross your fingers for more."
- Kirkus Reviews, 07/06 STARRED REVIEW

"The ending of Pennypacker's very funny book is as happy for Clementine as it is for her readers."
 -Horn Book, Jan/Feb 2007

STARRED REVIEW School Library Journal, April 2007

"New readers and listeners will cheer when Clementine discovers her talent and will eagerly await the next book about this "one of a kind" girl."
-Horn Book, May/June 2007

"Frazee's polished, warm-spirited line drawings, not all seen, capture the endearing idiosyncrasies of its heroine, who will equally charm returning readers and those meeting her for the first.
