    <body><![CDATA[I'm pretty sure that I will forever love anything that Beverly Cleary writes. Thanks to my first grade teacher's love for Cleary's books, I developed a strong love for the Ramona series.  I couldn't wait until I was old enough to read them on my own. The appreciation has stuck with me throughout the...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56861207">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[One think I liked about the Ramona books is the characters are so well drawn.  Especailly I like the true feeling of have Ramona and her sister sometimes love each other and sometimes hate each other.   It is so realistic--not like some books where the kids always, always get along and never fight--...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38279965">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It's funny that when I read this, I was just turning 8 years old, too. It's funny how the books that find you throughout your childhood have characters that are the same age as you. When you reach the stage of adolescence, age no longer matters when reading so long as it's a gripping story. But when...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62194255">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Although it's been many years since reading this, what I can remember is that I once wore this book out.  After it sat on my shelf for many years, my mother finally asked me to donate it so that someone else may enjoy it.  If that is my correct memory, than I may say that this book is excellent and ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50120865">more...</a>]]></body>
