Now that I am pursuing books for my daughter to devour (in hopes of luring her away from a Junie B. Jones who does not understand the beauty of adverbs) I remembered my favorite child character was Ramona. I hope she loves her as much as I did.
My favorite books from when I was in 7-8. How could a kid not love Ramona? Who didn't sympathize with Ramona when she became a kindergarten drop-out or when she cracked an uncooked egg over her head or when she got stuck in the mud while wearing her shiny new red rain boots?
When I read Rammona The Pestit was really funny and you never knew what Rammona would do next.The book I read is titled Rammona The Pest by Beverly C.This book is a good read of 211 pages.My opionon on this book is that anyone could enjoy it from age 8 to 80.My reaction was laughter because I was so much like Rammoana when I was youngher.The plot of this book is that Rammona is going to kindergarden and is most excited.But the problem of this story is that everyone finds her to be a bite of a pe...more
I remember reading these when I was little, how I would curl up on the sofa hugging a pillow while totally engrossed in Ramona's latest escapades. Having to travel so much when I was younger, reading was definitely a solace because it preoccupied my mind, took it away from all the great fun I could be having back with my friends, back "home". Ramona was just awesome, and Beverly Cleary knew how to capture my attention and heart, I would even rush through dinner and wake up early on weekends so t...more
My oldest, who just turned 9, loves to read. For her birthday my parents got her this boxed set. I loved Ramona the Pest when I was her age but I never read the rest of the books. Don't know why. Guess I didn't know about series back then quite yet. Anyhow, Katelyn read Beezus and Ramona first and loved it. She was constantly telling me throughout the book "I know it's just a pretend story but it made me feel better to know I'm not the only one with a little sister than annoys her!" Maybe it's b...more
Seeing the Ramona titles brings back such great memories of reading with my kids!

i'm not going to mess with reviewing all the beverly cleary i had to read. suffice to say that in a 2nd grade year that was rough for both me and Ms. Stewart, i was made to read the beverly cleary books as a kind of compromise (i had a boycott on with the regular reading book) and because she seemed to think that beverly cleary was all it took to set a wayward child straight.

One of the best modern children's series out there. Ramona is as real as a little girl in fiction can be, and her world and surroundings are also so real and believable that the books have an almost photographic quality-- as if we were looking into someone else's family photo album. I would totally recommend this to anyone who has been a kid-- and that counts all of you guys, so start reading! lol
i want to tell you all this book changed my life. i have same kind of family like two sister family. this taught me about human behavious.expectation and sibling love and parents value. it is the cool breeze in hot hell of depression. It taught me to be tolerant and help me to understand my family better.
i recommend this book to every one. kids, mothers, fathers and sisters.

I thought this book was good because Ramona thinks she can not go to kindergarten unless her teacher likes her.Another reason I like the book was because it is funny. A part in the book that was funny is when she gets her feet stuck in mud.There were also some parts in the book that I did not like.I am only going to tell you one because if I tell you more then it might spoil the ending.So... here it goes... the part that I did NOT like was when Ramona would not go back to school.
Beverly Clery is an amazing children's author. The stories are so funny and the adventures of the characters makes a great tale for any child to read. I loved listening to my mom read these to me in her great story telling voice, and i still remember the books! Definitely a good book to read to children.
Rereading these. Still in love with Ramona and her stories. Beverly Cleary was a genius with understanding the internal dialog and struggles of a young girl. These stories remind me of the girl I once was and make me more sympathetic to my own kids. I do miss the old illustrations.
I love the character Romona, she always reminds me of a young me. I think kids who have an interesting way of looking at the world is a hard thing to accomplish in a book and when little girls or sisters of little girls read them, They can feel like someone gets them.
These are fabulous first chapter books for children, particularly girls, in the early grades. They may be read-to's, at least initially. Ramona is the child who always seems (at least to her) like the less-perfect sibling. Set in Portland, Oregon.
A lady came to our 1st grade classroom and read the first chapter of Ramona. I couldn't wait to hear the rest. I made my mom take me to the library to get it. Thus began my love of reading.
Just finished listening to the entire Ramona series on audiobook with my children. I loved it even more now as a parent than I did as a kid. Classic growing-up literature.
Loved Ramona since I was 8. Now with two daughters, we're listening to them on cd and I can more clearly see Cleary's knack for seeing the world as a child does.
the thing that i think is that ramona has to be nice to mrs kemp who watch her while ramona mom works and RAMONA IS SO MEAN TO HER AND HER FRIEND YARD APE AND ramona first da of school and she was going to school and she try to do the trick her dad did aand it cracked on ther head and her father was going to collage because he need a master d so he could get a better job and ramona and beezus had to cook diner because they didn't like what there mom cooked so they had to cook diner and they made...more
We are continuing with the Ramona books. Beverly Cleary is an amazing author. Like Ramona the Pest, this book brought back childhood memories for me. I loved Ramona's emotional blow out when her school report comes home.
Mara is really transfixed by Ramona's experiences. From being scared of the dark to playing brick factory with Howie, she seems to find something to relate to. Some of it goes over her head, but much of it seems to resonate. Here are her words "What I liked best about [the book]...more

When you've worn out Junie B. Jones, move on to these far superior classic stories about the spunky Ramona Quimby. Beverly Cleary rocks!
Excellent children's reading. The author writes age appropriately about Ramona and each member of her family and extended neighborhood.
