Use Clementine by Sara Pennypacker to turn your read aloud or small group work into a time to improve comprehension and talk about the text in purposeful ways.

Clementine is a captivating book that follows the spirited and imaginative third-grader, Clementine, as she navigates a series of entertaining misadventures. Students will laugh out loud as they get to know Clementine and fall in love with her a special kind of warmth, humor, and a touch of whimsy.

This is the perfect text to use for a Book Club focused on nonliteral language. Clementine shares her name with a fruit, names her brother after vegetables, and wants to have bracelets on her teeth like her best friend, Margaret. The text and illustrations provide a rich context for readers to examine how an author's word choice shapes the tone and meaning of the text.

In this first book of the series, Clementine tries to help out her friend Margaret, but ends up in a lot of trouble for it. Things get worse each day of the week, until finally she's worried that Margaret is right: Clementine's parents might consider her "the hard one" in the family.
