Product Information

The writing does such a good job of letting us see things from Clarice Bean's perspective, and it really captures her childish voice. Her work really grasped me as a child and made me realise how much fun literature could be - was just as fun being reunited with Clarice Bean as an adult!

Also great for British Mums living in Aus as it brings back the cold British Christmas vibes as the children read it. After attending two Art Schools, she travelled for six months, still unsure about which career to embark upon. The hardcover version - beautifully produced pages, fonts and illustrations - is a package of delight. The illustrations and the writing style were acutely creative, unique and playful and I enjoyed the different style fonts and sizes. All the characters and dialogue are well judged and it’s a perfect read aloud in the run up to Christmas as it simply sparkles with humour and kindness ( even if , as in real life, sometimes the kindness leads to a very different conclusion than may have been expected).

Es klappt nicht alles wie geplant, aber am Ende ist es doch der Geist der Weihnacht, der alles zusammenhält.

About this book she says, "My childhood memories of Christmas are all good--even the things that went wrong were good. The illustrations are darling but I found the font to be difficult to read in some places and the storyline seemed to meander all over the place. Aber dieses Jahr wollen ihre Eltern nur zu siebt feiern, denn, wenn sie schon an die ganze Arbeit denken, wird ihnen ganz anders. Even if you’ve never read a Clarice Bean book before, you will fall in love with this brilliantly narrated story of thinking about others, doing kind things and believing that your biggest Christmas wishes can come true. Before writing and illustrating children's books Child started her own company 'Chandeliers for the People' making lampshades.

I’m happy to report that not only was it entirely suitable I found myself laughing out loud at some of the perfectly painted family moments - and very pleased by the happy ending.Join the one and only Clarice Bean and 'Think Like an Elf' in this irresistible and spectacularly sparkling Christmas story from the inimitable Lauren Child.
