What Planet Are You from, Clarice Bean?

32 pp. | Candlewick | March, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-1696-6 $$16.99
(4) K-3 In Child's third Clarice Bean offering, our narrator needs a topic for her school assignment on the environment. When a neighborhood tree is slated for destruction, her brother Kurt's "Free the Tree" project becomes a madcap family affair. The story and language are inspired, but the mixed-media art, which incorporates swirling lines of text, is too self-consciously zany.
