Description

Clarice Bean's mum and dad are going away on Important Business, so Uncle Ted comes to stay. Everything goes really well at first, but before long there's a guinea pig on the loose, Granddad's gone missing, and Clarice's little brother is stuck in the railings like a giant squeaking tomato.

Luckily Uncle Ted's around. He'll come to the rescue . . . won't he

A hilarious look at family life starring the inimitable Clarice Bean.

'A ticklish title and a ticklish book.' - Guardian

Reviews

A virtuoso display of stylish graphics, dizzying typefaces employed to maximum humorous effect, and a story which takes it for granted that the reader is as streetwise and worldly as Clarice Bean herself * Financial Times *
Wild, entertaining fun * The Northern Echo *
