Ramona's World

I just finished reading this book to my elementary-aged daughters, and we had such a blast! I remember loving the Ramona books as a little girl in the 70s, and I was surprised to see some newer ones out. As a parent, it's so refreshing to read a book where the humor is clean, and the author sees a need to preserve childhood. So many books today try to corrupt the innocent minds of children. Each chapter of the book has a clear story arc and can be read as a stand-alone bedtime story. Yet unlike a short story, this children's novel gave us something to look forward to every night at bedtime. We couldn't wait to see what would happen next! We don't want the series to end and hope Mrs. Cleary will write at least one more Ramona book!

Ramona Quimby's back! After years of waiting and anticipation, Beverly Cleary's given us another fabulous book in the popular Ramona series. Ramona's all grown up, 'practically a teenager!' and ready to take on the fourth grade. With her new new best friend, Daisy, at her side, she's off for many new and exciting adventures, including falling through a ceiling while playing princess, and cat-sitting! Her friends Howie and Yard Ape, and her not-so-good-friend Susan are all in her class, and together they get in a bunch of hilariously sticky situations. Beezus has started high school, and her life is filled with baby-sitting, parties, (although they don't QUITE turn out the way she'd expected!) and a few very interesting events. I loved reading about Ramona again, and would definitely recommend Ramona's World to any Ramona fans. Years have passed, but this spunky go-getter hasn't changed a bit! She's still as funny to me now as she was when I was her age.

This book is wonderful! I was the first one to buy it atTarget. I am 12 years old and could not keep my eyes of it. I read itin 2 days flat! I will add this book to my collection. I will alsogive my collection of B. Cleary books to my kids. these books are a treasure to me. I know it sounds silly but these books like "The Paper Route" were all great books that helped me cope threw life where i'm at. These books are so down to earth. Thats why i like them so much! I recommend these books any day to kids my age and even the librarian. If Beverly Cleary is listening keep up the good work your excellant! i would give more stars or thumbs up but they only let me have 5 stars or thumbs up. It would be imposible for me to say that i have a favorate book by her. I admire here corage to keep righting books. keep righting them Beverly. Please if you agree with this statement then vote for me at the bottom of this paragraph. END

I thought this book was awesome! Cleary really put humor into it! It was fuuny and thrilling. It really was cool. I hope Mrs. Cleary doesn't stop writing the Ramona books. Also, Daisy and Roberta the new charecters made the book better then the rest! Not that all Ramona books stink! RAMONA RULES!

My 9-year-old daughter has read and loved all of the Ramona Quimby stories, but she says this is the best of the bunch. She read it over two days in a few hours. It has been the only book (among more than 100 children's novels) that she hasn't been able to put down for a long time. Blume, Konigsburg, Paterson, Lowry, Naylor, Cresswell -- they're all great in their own ways, but Cleary speaks straight to the heart of youngsters every time like no other children's author alive. And Ramona is every girl's friend.
