I bought Elizabeth this copy of Clementine, by Sara Pennypacker, from our local used bookstore thinking it would be a huge hit. Unfortunately, Elizabeth seemed largely disinterested, and poor Clementine sat ignored on a shelf for several weeks. Until...I noticed there was a copy of Clementine on cd at our local library. Since I brought the cds home almost 2 weeks ago, Elizabeth has gone through the book 5 or 6 times. She's begging me not to take it back to the library. I can't remember if you can renew cds or not, but since my hidden book box (the one in my closet that holds new and used books for a rainy day) contains the The Talented Clementine, and I'm fairly certain I saw that cd set at the library as well, I'm positive Clementine will still be around for a while.
It took a C.D. set from the library to get my daughter interested in The Wind in the Willows, but once she listened, she wanted to read the book as well. I haven't seen the Clementine books...they look cute.
