Synopsis
This here's the story of the meanest, most ornery and pugnacious, pigtail-wearing, pint-sized person in the whole entire Texas Hill Country, and how she saved the town of Lovett from getting blown clear off the map. It's the story of little Clementine Sweet, the youngest of fourteen, who gets so tired of being forgotten about that she starts stomping on people's feet just to get noticed. Things look pretty bad for the sore-footed folks of Lovett until Clementine finally discovers a better use for her extra strong legs and super tough feet, and the townspeople can put away their steel-toed shoes and start two-stepping again. Vibrant illustrations capture all the spunk and exaggeration of this uproarious tale, full of fun-to-read-aloud true Texas slang. Clementine Sweet's frustrations and triumphs will enthrall little cowgirls and cowboys everywhere.

From Booklist
K-Gr. 2. Pigtailed Clementine Sweet is misnamed. She's the most ornery, pugnacious girl in Texas Hill Country. It wasn't always thus. At a family reunion, relatives forget her birthday and her name, prompting her to yell, "I'm Clementine Sweet! I'm gonna stomp your feet." This becomes both her catchphrase and her chosen method of acting up. When people stop at her family's cafe, she is ready to stomp them if they don't call her by her proper name. But after she learns the two-step and stomps a tornado, Clementine gets the recognition she craves and settles down to be the town darlin'. Whether everyone will find her adorable is another question. Kids will love mimicking her signature line, but adults are likely to be less appreciative. Still, this has the allure of a tall tale, and Wohnoutka's boisterous, oversize artwork has a comic look, especially when he uses unusual perspectives (with feet often in the forefront). Children looking for a heroine who takes matters into her own hands--make that feet, too--will find her here. Ilene Cooper
