When it comes to tackling third grade, Clementine is at the top of her game-okay, so maybe not all the time. After her teacher announces that the third and fourth graders will be putting on a talent show, Clementine panics. She doesn't sing or dance or play an instrument. She can't even hop with finesse. And as if she didn't feel bad enough, her perfect best friend, Margaret, has so many talents, she has to alphebetize them to keep them straight? As the night of the big "Talent-palooza" draws closer, Clementine is desperate for an act, any act. But the unexpected talent she demonstrates at the show surprises everyone--most of all herself. This next Clementine book is sure to bring the house down Review citations PW Notes and Reprints - pg. 54 - 01/15/2007 Kirkus Best Books - pg. 17 - 01/15/2007 Kirkus Review - Children / Best Of The Best/Highly Recommended - pg. 230 - 03/01/2007 Kirkus Review - Children / Exceptional Presentation - pg. 230 - 03/01/2007 Kirkus Review - Children / Book Of Special Distinction - pg. 230 - 03/01/2007 Kirkus Review - Children / Top 15 Book Of The Year - pg. 230 - 03/01/2007 Kirkus Review - Children / Highly Recommended - pg. 230 - 03/01/2007 School Library Journal / Best Of The Best/Highly Recommended - pg. 114 - 04/01/2007 School Library Journal / Exceptional Presentation - pg. 114 - 04/01/2007 School Library Journal / Book Of Special Distinction - pg. 114 - 04/01/2007 School Library Journal / Top 15 Book Of The Year - pg. 114 - 04/01/2007 School Library Journal / Highly Recommended - pg. 114 - 04/01/2007 Booklist - pg. 54 - 03/15/2007 Horn Book Magazine - pg. 287 - 05/01/2007 Hornbook Guide to Children / Superior - pg. 334 - 07/01/2007 Hornbook Guide to Children / Good - pg. 334 - 07/01/2007 Hornbook Guide to Children / Reviewed - More Editing Needed - pg. 334 - 07/01/2007 Kirkus Best Children's Books - pg. 1 - 11/15/2007 SLJ's Best Books - pg. 37 - 12/01/2007
