More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This is the second title in the hugely popular series about Ramona Quimby. Ramona doesn't think she's a pest - she knows that she isn't a pest on purpose. So how in the world does Ramona get in trouble? Why does Davy run away whenever Ramona comes near him? And how does she manage to disrupt the whole kindergarten class during their rest time? Beverly Cleary is one of America's most popular authors and has won many prestigious awards, including the American Library Association's Laura Ingalls Wilder Award. Ramona the Pest is being published to coincide with the publication of the lastest Ramona title, Ramona's World.

I first had "Ramona The Pest" read to me when I was five years old. I read the book a year ago (I'm 36 years old) and still found it entertaining and sweet. I think that anyone who was a "brat" when they were a kid can relate to this girl. It's not that she's really a brat; it's just that she has a unique perspective on things that isn't shared by her kindergarten teacher or most of her schoolmates. Beverly Cleary writes all of her books with an innate understanding of how kids' minds work, and she writes charmingly.

It's finally happened! Ramona Quimby is old enough to attend kindergarten! She can't wait to do big kid stuff like learn to read and participate in show and tell. Parts of school are confusing, like the song about the dawnzer. But she is making new friends, like Davey, her first crush, and Susan, whose hair is so curly it just cries out to be tugged. But when things go horribly wrong, will Ramona ever return?
I had read this book before but had forgotten just how wonderful it was until I reread it recently. Author Beverly Cleary expertly captures the emotions and reactions of a 5 year old. Heck, I think at times Ramona is more honest then many adults are today. While some of her behavior isn't acceptable, it is understandable. And absolutely funny. There are so many wonderfully funny moments here that anyone will relate to.
The story itself is more episodic then a true novel. But that doesn't mean it isn't entertaining. I certainly didn't want to put it down.
The book was originally written in the late 60's, so it might be slightly dated, but this really is a minor issue. The heart of the story is Ramona and her new kindergarten world.
Beverly Cleary has a wonderful pen for writing. The book works well for mid to late elementary school students to read to themselves. Or it can be read aloud with absolute ease.
If you haven't discovered the joys of kindergarten with Ramona, pick up this book today. You'll laugh and smile as you are carried away to a world that was simpler.

If you haven't introduced your children to Ramona, now is a good time to start.
Ramona the Pest was one of the few books in the seris that we didn't have to pass on to our grandchildren. Effectively paying just package and postage on this little book, it couldn't have been better. Yes it was a school library book but in excellent condition which is surely all that matters.
Excellent service too.
