It was Clarence's birhtday and thats all he could think about. He was having accidents all through the day. He had a party after school and was still having accidents. His friends gave him a letter telling him to be careful. he loved the lettert and begin to think about what he waas doing. A good book to help students realize to think about htings before they do them.

This book is good for adults and children in the way that the moral of the story is to think about what you are doing so you do not make mistakes. However, to keep it interesting for children. Marc Brown uses cats as his animals rather than people. He also relates the same problems to childrens problems. Sometimes children have a hard time focusing and Clarence the cat trips over his shoelaces and sharpens his pencil too much and spills the ice cream. Basically he is having a bad day and the author refers to this as a "cloud over his head". The author website is http://www.marcbrownstudios.com/. This is a great resource for parents, teachers, and kids. It even has a part where teachers can have a character come visit their school!
