Books in Clarice Bean series

The audio CD edition of Lauren Child's best-selling first novel, introducing Clarice Bean to a whole new audience. Read by Claire Skinner, star of the hugely popular TV series 'Outnumbered'. The story revisits Clarice's wacky family, and introduces Ruby Redfort, ace girl detective and star of Clarice's favourite books.

But when Clarice and her best friend, Betty Moody, decide to do their school project on the Ruby Redfort books, they suddenly start finding mysteries everywhere. Why are all the coats on the wrong hooks at school, and where has Grandad disappeared to?

Now in paperback. Lauren Child’s spunky character returns and—as if things could get any livelier in Clarice Bean’s household—Uncle Ted is babysitting!Who can Mom and Dad get to babysit the feisty Clarice, her pesky brother Minal Cricket, and the school’s guinea pig, Albert, who’s visiting for spring break? (Not to mention teenage brother Kurt, who abhors daylight; big sis Marcie, who chats on the phone all day; and Grandad, who tends to wander off.) Only Uncle Ted, firefighter and movie addict, can be persuaded. Will he survive the week?
