From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 2–Clementine, a small-town poodle, moves to Manhattan to become a circus dog and is given three days to get her act together. New friends help her locate the props she needs (e.g., a trip to the feather district for a boa) and explore the town as they go. Clementine's show is spectacular until she falls and breaks her leg, but all is not lost. Her hospital roommate, after hearing about her exploits, hires her to write for his travel guide. Readers are left with a sense that they'll hear more about this pooch. Clementine's fresh narrative introduces each new experience or concept. A variety of fonts enliven the pace and effectively capture the city's hustle and bustle. Fans of Maira Kalman's witty animal stories and urbane flair will be the best audience for Clementine's adventures. Preschool and early elementary teachers may wish to use this for city/country units.–Kathleen Simonetta, Indian Trails Public Library District, Wheeling, IL
