I loved Beverly Cleary's books growing up, especially the ones about Ramona. I recently found a few copies of my old books and thought I'd read them now that I'm an adult. I love this one just as much as I did when I was a kid. It is easy to relate to Ramona, even as an adult. She doesn't want to be...

I remember reading this as a child and being completely in the moment with Ribsy during all his adventures. Re-reading as an adult, I still had fun with his story, but the realism of Henry Huggins and Ramona slips here a little. For the most part, Ribsy behaves as a dog, but I suppose it's hard to t...
I didn't connect with Henry as I did with Ramona, but his adventures are still a lot of fun as he creates chaos on a city bus, delights in his guppy population boom, schemes to get out of the school play, and negotiates his place among the other boys in the neighborhood. My 1965 printing's illustrat...
Without Beezus standing in for the reader to call out some of Ramona's outlandish behavior, the reader is left with characters that coddled Ramona and allows her to throw temper tantrum after temper tantrum until she gets her way. It isn't cute or funny, just painful. Ramona is egotistical, borderin...
The Mouse and the Motorcycle is a book about a mouse named Ralph who longs for adventure, but doesn't have much of a chance until a little boy with a toy motorcycle moves into the hotel where Ralph and his family live. The little mouse cannot resist the toy motorcycle, and embarks on an adventure th...
Any and all Ramona Quimby books would be, in my opinion, a huge benefit for teachers to share with their class. After having the Ramona books read to me growing up, I think these books would be most suitable for a second grade classroom. Beverly Cleary does a wonderful job of introducing readers to ...
I read this book in one of my classes around 3-5th grade and I remember loving it. It would be another great book to read before watching the movie. ages 8-12
This isn't my first reading of [b:A River Never Sleeps|2348849|A River Never Sleeps|Roderick L. Haig-Brown|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1266750749s/2348849.jpg|2355560], and one of the remarkable aspects of Haig-Brown's writing is how well it stands the test of time. This book remains a fly fish...
