Ramona and her Mother (Ramona Quimby #5)

4.03 of 5 stars 4.03 · rating details · 10,636 ratings · 213 reviews

Beverly Cleary has given books to each member of the Quimby household except Mrs. Quimby. Now she gets her turn at last in a story that hits the high and low points of a working mother's life as seen from Ramona's seven-and-a-half-year-old viewpoint.

Inevitably domestic tensions, not without their amusing side, occasionally arise. Mr. and Mrs. Quimby sometimes forget who is

We started reading the series of books starring Ramona Quimby, Beezus, Henry and their friends a few years ago, but we never made too much progress. We intended to read more, but we always chose something else.

Our youngest was given the book Ramona the Pest (Ramona Quimby to read by her second grade teacher to practice her reading comprehension and I thought we'd give the series another try.

At 7 and a half, with working parents and a sister at "a difficult age," Ramona Quimby tries hard to do her part to keep family peace. Usually, however, she ends up behind every uproarious incident in the house. Whether she's dying herself blue, watching while her young neighbor flings Kleenex around the house, or wearing her soft new pajamas to school one day (under her clothes, of course), Ramona's life is never dull. Through it all, she is struggling for a place in her mother's heart, worried...more

I really enjoy the ramona books, I think they are great for children coming of age. They are funny and engaging books that all kids will love. Ramona comes to life in this book, as she struggles to find her place within her family.In this book the author is focused on the bond between Ramona and her mother. It basically discusses the complexities of mother/daughter relationships, nostalgia for earlier and simpler stages of childhood, resolving arguments, and sibling rivalry. My favorite part of...more

As a farming, homeschooling, radical homemaking Mama, I will happily go on record stating my distate for the likes of Junie B. Jones and Judy Moody. The modern sisters to Ramona Quimby, Junie and Judy, in my opinion, are simply brats living in a world that I'd prefer not to share with my daughters (although, I must admit, they rather enjoy them). But enter Ramona Quimby, and we are all on the same page. We all relate much more more with Ramona's mishaps and adventures, because they are based on...more

Okay, just after saying that this series deserves 5 stars across the board, I'm giving 4 stars to Ramona and Her Mother. :P

It's not that this book isn't great - it is! - I just didn't find it quite as interesting as the others. Ramona watches her mother and Beezus bond while hosting a brunch and discussing hair, and she feels left out. She yearns for her mother to show her the same type of affection that she shows Beezus.

As a mother, I am always thinking about "fairness"... Of course, I need to...more

Synopsis:
This is the 5th book of a series of books called Ramona & Beezus. This book doesn't have a really interesting plot, because it talks about a little girl named Ramona' life. In this book (book n*5) the author talks about Ramona' relationship with her mother. It also talks about how she feel's when people don't pay as much attention to her as when she was small and how her sister Beezus get's all her mother's attention. In this book you will read some of the silly mistakes Ramona has made like keeping her new pyjamas on because they were so soft and cosy and wore them to school under her uniform. Beverly Cleary also talks about how Ramona fell's when her mom and her dad work to much and how she want's it to be back the way it was when she was small. I didn't love this book but didn't hate it either, because it didn't have emotional moments nor a lot of excitement but I liked how it spoke about how a little five year old girl feel's in those moments of her life.
Favorite scenes:
Scene 1:
I found chapter 6 extremely funny and sweet. Because in this chapter Ramona's mother find's brand new Pajamas Ramona is of course extremely happy about it because it was her very first piece of clothing that didn't belong to her sister before her. The pajamas are very comfortable so when she has to get ready for school the next day she doesn't want to take it off so she takes the decision to leave her pajamas on and put her close on top of them like the fireman she saw before. At first she feels extremely cozy inside her pajamas but after a few hours of staying in class with them she get very hot. When her teacher asks what is wrong she responded she was just very hot so the teacher worried Ramona was sick sends her to the nurse’ office. When the nurse takes her temperature she finds out she has no fever so she goes back to class. The teacher asks her what was wrong back then and when Ramona tells her teacher she tells her it all right and that she could go to the girls bath
Scene 2:
My truly favorite chapter is chapter 7. It is very funny and a little sentimental. In this chapter Ramona’s Teacher calls her house. When Ramona hears her mother talking on the phone and laughing she is certain that her teacher told her mother about the Pajama accident that had happened a few days earlier. She gets very angry and says that she is going to run away for ever. When she get’s into her room she start’s pacing her mother then comes in and tells her that she wants to help her pack and bring an extremely big suitcase…

I enjoyed reading this book but didn’t love it. It is a book that is fairly easy to read but it does have a nice story into it. So I gave it a Ratting of three stars.

A nice enough memory to be sure, but more so in light of the fact that things were frequently less than ideal at home. I have a friend that can rattle of pleasant memory after pleasant memory of her childhood while mine frequently ended with comments like "that was right after our house burned down" or "I think my grandma was in the mental institute then" or "I'm not sure why the neighbor shot our dog" and so on and so on. Of course there were plenty of moments of that weren't laced with trauma: being involved in local theater, hand making our own Christmas paper, eating snow cones while my dad coached baseball, etc, etc, etc but the memory that can bring back the most thorough and pleasant sensations is that of my mom at the end of my bed.

Even when it was happening I could fell that it was a unique time and I didn't want to do anything to interfere with it. More than once she sat on my foot unintentionally and I laid as still as possible, ignoring the slight discomfort for fear of undoing any part of what was happening.

Now I have my own kids and my own version of a "less than ideal home", and I read to them as well. The other night was chaotic and I was too occupied with other things to give them the attention they deserved and before I knew it bedtime was there and I was grumpy and yelling at them to get their teeth brushed and get to bed. I scolded myself in my mind AGAIN for not being the kind of parent I wanted to be that day and then...

I sat in the hall between their rooms and read them the last chapter of Ramona and Her Mother and we laughed so hard at parts that I had to stop reading for us to collect ourselves and when Ramona referred to her mom as , "Better than any mother in the world" my daughter yelled "no!" and my son explained, when I looked up (assuming something had happened outside the book), "you're the best mom".

And they're wrong. I am NOT the best mom in the world and I know that as they get older the juvenile idolization of parents will give way to a more cynical and frankly accurate perception of who I really am. They'll be able to reflect on all my parental short comings and likely find insecurities or imperfections in their personalities that they can blame on me BUT hopefully with that they will remember those moments when we forgot about cleaning rooms and brushing teeth and doing homework and bickering and we laughed really hard and talked about what we were reading and we just felt happy to be connected to each other.

"Ramona and Her Mother," by Beverly Cleary, was a childhood favorite. Reading it as a college student brought a smile to my face. However, I cannot say that I have the appreciation that I once had. Ramona, a love-starved child, desperately seeks the attention and love of her mother, who is often sidetracked with work, life, and her oldest daughter Beezus. Ramona seems trapped in between stages; she is no longer a baby but does not understand why people do not take her seriously. She goes on many...more

About Beverly Cleary

Beverly Cleary (born April 12, 1916) is the author of over 30 books for young adults and children. Her characters are normal children facing challenges that many of us face growing up, and her stories are liberally laced with humour. Some of her best known and loved characters are Ramona Quimby and her sister Beatrice ("Beezus"), Henry Huggins, and Ralph S. Mouse.

Her characters are normal children facing challenges that many of us face growing up, and her stories are liberally laced with humour. Some of her best known and loved characters are Ramona Quimby and her sister Beatrice ("Beezus"), Henry Huggins, and Ralph S. Mouse.

Beverly Cleary was born Beverly Atlee Bunn in McMinnville, Oregon. When she was 6, her family moved to Portland, Oregon, where she went to grammar and high school. She was slow in learning to read, due partly to her dissatisfaction with the books she was required to read and partly to an unpleasant first grade teacher. It wasn't until she was in third grade that she found enjoyment from books, when she started reading The Dutch Twins by Lucy Fitch Perkins. Thereafter, she was a frequent visitor to the library, though she rarely found the books she most wanted to read — those about children like herself.

She moved to California to attend the University of California, Berkeley, and after graduation with a B.A in English in 1938, studied at the School of Librarianship at the University of Washington in Seattle, where she earned a degree in librarianship in 1939. Her first job was as a librarian in Yakima, Washington, where she met many children who were searching for the same books that she had always hoped to find as a child herself. In response, she wrote her first book, Henry Huggins, which was published in 1950. Beezus and Ramona, Cleary's first novel to feature the Quimby sisters as the central focus of the story, was published in 1955, although Beezus and Ramona made frequent appearances in the Henry Huggins series as supporting characters.

In 1940 she married Clarence T. Cleary and they moved to Oakland, California. The Clearys became parents to a set of twins, Marianne Elisabeth and Malcolm James, in 1955. Clarence Cleary died in 2004. Beverly Cleary currently lives in Carmel, California.

She has also written two autobiographies, A Girl from Yamhill and My Own Two Feet.(less)
