About this listen

An utterly good audio edition of this best-selling Clarice Bean novel, read by Claire Skinner, star of the hit BBC series Outnumbered.

There are so many things in life you can't explain. Like why isn't YOU spelt U? Why isn't WHY spelt Y? And why can just opening your mouth get you into some very BIG trouble? Clarice Bean is in non-stop trouble these days - almost as much as Karl Wrenbury, and he is the naughtiest boy in school. Clarice just wants to star in the school play and impress Mrs Wilberton in the spelling bee. But things aren't quite going to plan....

Ever since I was a kid I used to listen to these to sleep or when I was sick or something. And somehow, 17 years later, I still do it. Thanks to whoever made the audiobook, and thanks for the book being written in the first place. It’s gotten me through a lot

Great story, great acting, and a great comfort
