About this listen

Meet the fabulously feisty Clarice Bean in this hilarious short story. Brilliantly read by Claire Skinner - star of BBC's Outnumbered!

All Clarice Bean wants is a bit of peace and quiet. But that can be hard to find in a house where your little brother is being utterly annoying, your big brother is in the dark tunnel of adolescence and your grandad's pouring soup on his cornflakes . . .

"A fresh, playful, wonderfully chaotic look at family life that will make you laugh out loud" Independent

Written by former Children's Laureate, Lauren Child, this is the story that launched the award-winning, bestselling Clarice Bean series!

Wonderful to read aloud.
It'll make you roar with laughter
Laugh-out-loud funny gloss on family life
Child's spot-on portrait of family life...has an anthropological quality reminiscent of Posy Simmonds' Weber family...exuberantly inventive
For a humorous and refreshingly honest look at family life, you can't get any better than this
Brilliantly written and drawn by Lauren Child, the cringe-worthy details are a joy
A real treat. This is only Lauren Child's second book for children and I'm totally hooked
Text and illustrations are united in giving this wittily ironic, child's-eye view of familiar characters and their foibles
Represents the arrival of a sparkling and irresistable new talent
A modern classic
The quirky perspectives show cheerful disregard for convention in this unusual take on family life
A fresh, playful, wonderfully chaotic look at family life that will make you laugh out loud
Full of wonderfully dry one-liners
