by Beverly Cleary, Stockard Channing
Well, I was "conned" into spending a few days in Queens, taking care of my 6-month old granddaughter, Ramona, while her parents were sampling beer in Germany...and other things, perhaps even a spot of "work". So, naturally, I had to read the next Ramona book to get into shape for the "ordeal", so to...
Please Note: Some list this book as number 6 in the series and others list this book as number 7 (number six is a compilation of previous books). This is the Ramona book I read in the first grade and it turned me into a reader for life. Since I wasn't all that enthused about the previous books (th...
Ramona Quimby, Age 8 is such a fun book! It is sure to have every eight year old hooked because of it's relatability and humor. In this book, poor Ramona just cannot catch a break.
