scales

Is there a book of scales out there that makes them more interesting and fun to practice. was able to learn them on sax very easily, probably because its an octave instrument. years later after self teaching myself clarinet, i'm finding it hard to buckle down and learn them on clarinet.
is it because the clarinet is in 12ths or is there a method used to get them under my belt that would be different from learning them on sax. As a little history if i had not mentioned this before, my high school and college did not allow guys to play clarinets or flutes so i had to opt for the sax instead.
have nothing against the sax it just doesnt do it for me like the clarinet. I love everything about the clarinet. when i left college I bought my own clarinet and joined a couple of bands here in atlanta, took a few lessons and was told i have to learn the scales to be good on it. so i ask is there such a book of scales that makes them interesting to practice. I need this practice so i can start learning the concerto no 2 piece by weber. I have a great desire to play this piece, however i dont think all of the basics are there for me to take on this yet. btw i work full time with a family so time is very scarce for me at times.
