Clementine Rose and the Pet Day Disaster


Clementine Rose and the Pet Day Disaster
By Jacqueline Harvey
Random House


Clementine Rose is a five year old blonde haired girl who is busting to start school. But her first day doesn’t goes as planned with a different teacher than she expected; a snotty boy sharing her desk; and lunch that tastes awful. A bit of bullying is something Clemmie has never encountered before. The usually bouncy little girl, unhappily heads home after a hard day, and never wants to go to school again. Her mum and honourary uncle take her to the doctor who convinces her to give school another try, because of the big announcement by the school principal, of the Queen coming to visit to judge the pet show. All hilarity ensues as Clemmie’s great Aunt Violet’s cat is a late entrant, who ends up in a very sticky situation.

A wonderful and easy read. Harvey at her usual best. The story flows easily and would be read aloud in a classroom setting
