Dans une langue qui lui ressemble, c''est-à-dire pétillante, malicieuse et entraînante, Clarice Bean confie qu''elle n''a absolument aucune idée du projet environnemental qu''elle effectuera pour répondre aux exigences de madame Wilberton, son enseignante. Or, lorsque son grand frère rentre à la maison en annonçant que les autorités ont l''intention de couper le peuplier centenaire du quartier, elle réalise qu''elle tient son cheval de bataille ... -- Des illustrations débridées, qui amalgament peintures, collages, montages photographiques et traits de plume vigoureux, servent d''écrin au texte dont les multiples jeux typographiques reflètent l''énergie débordante de l''héroïne. Une petite leçon d''écologie qui se double d''une ode rafraichissante à la spontanéité, au franc-parler et à l''imagination enfantins, le tout servi dans un album dont l''esthétique est à mi-chemin entre le "scrapbook" et le journal intime.
