Summary: Beezus faces a problem of small stature but not small impact
Review: Nine-year-old Beezus Quimby has her hands full with her little sister, Ramona who is always making trouble and somehow getting all the her parents attention. Every big sister can relate to the trials and tribulations Beezus must endure. Old enough to be expected to take responsibility for her little sister, yet young enough to be mortified by every embarrassing this that Ramona does. Beezus knows she's supposed to love and like Ramona no matter what, but she isn't sure she can do that anymore.


Beverly Cleary has written a ton of children's books that have managed to withstand the test of time for generations.She has won numerous awards including the Newbery Medal. Two of her other books also in the Ramona series, were also named Newbery Honor winners. I am always amazed by Ms. Cleary's novels, and have no doubt that they have a wonderful impact on children. ...

Summary: Wow, What a litter sister!
Review: Poor Beezus. This story is mainly focused about her, and how her little sister, Ramona is always messing everything up for her. Beverly Cleary does a wonderful job of describing how horrible little sisters can be. Beezus feels like a terrible person because there are times when she doesn't love Ramona, but is reassured when she finds out that sisters don't have to love each other all the time. This book is a great read for children (especially those with siblings.)

Review: ramona never tried to do anything bad but she always did get in trouble. by erica hess age 8

Summary: Wow, What a litter sister!
Review: The book, Beezus and Ramona is great. Read it now. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate it an 8 because big kids, like Beezus, should know that little kids can pests. Little kids, like Ramona, can do naughty things. Little kids should learn from their mistakes. It may take a few times, but one day they will learn.
Ramona is one crazy girl. She does pretty silly and extreme things. She is always causing trouble. My favorite character is Beezus because she is more civilized than Ramona. Beezus doesn't do things that could get her into trouble. Although Beezus is my favorite character, my favorite part is when Ramona breaks the eggs. I thought that was pretty funny. My other favorite part is when Beezus reads 202 Things to Do On a Rainy Afternoon.
I would recommend this book to anyone who has a younger brother or sister.

Summary: Classic fun
Review: There isn't much to say about this book other than that it captures a great sense of fun. Ramona's childish randomness is completely believable, while Beezus' struggle to come to terms with her relationship with her younger sister provides a "moral" to the book without ever becoming cloying.

This is a volume that belongs on everybody's bookshelf, and should displace all the "Goosebumps" and whatever else clutters the average youngster's shelves.

Rating: 5 stars

Review: This is a great book! I read it 4 times, and I got the cassettes at our library! Ramona is the cutest little kid, while Beezus trys to act older and more mature. All in All, this book is great!

Summary: The beginning...
Review: This is the beginning of the Ramona Quimby series. From my childhood I have memories of teachers reading to us about the little girl who likes to do things her way. This book introduces the character of Ramona at the age of four and of course her sister Beatrice (Beezus), their parents and Henry Huggins.

Cleary's writing has two clear advantages. 1) She creates real characters that children can relate to and make the mistakes and feel the same way they do. 2) The language she uses can be understood by all while still posing a slight challenge to be read individually. The only problem with the book is that it was written nearly 50 years ago and is slightly out of date. However, updated illustrations, Cleary's habit of using only fictitious names and r4eality based plots have helped to keep the book relevant to today's readers.

Why 4 stars?:
While it is not the best in the series it is the one that began the Ramona Series. Due to its age it has been dated to a point, but maintains its appeal to today's readers. The writing is appropriate and interesting to elementary school readers and will hopefully keep them interested in reading.
