Rating:  Summary: Ramona is not average even when she is average.... Review: Ramona is a fun loving young one, who does nothing but pester her sister. It is never her goal to do so, it just happens. Although she is now in first grade this still hasn't changed too much. Ramona now attends the same school as her sister Beezus, and now that shes there she is let down. It isn't what she expected, in fact, it doesn't seem to be any fun at all. Ms. Cleary's Ramona books are a fun read full of humor, but she never neglects to address the problems that really face school age children. As a child reading these books I remember that it helped put things into perspective for me, although at the time that probably wasn't the word I used. I would recommend this book to all children, and even to adults with children.

Rating:  Summary: Spunky Little Ramona Review: Ramona is a little girl who is in 1st grade. She gets into trouble a few times in 1st grade. Mrs.Griggs, Ramona's teacher is not one of her favorite teachers because she is kind of mean to Ramona. The worst part of Ramona's day was losing a shoe because she threw it at a dog. Ramona is also a spunky silly girl who likes to do bad things. I hope you will enjoy this book. Have fun reading it!
Rating:  Summary: Ramona Is Sweet And Believable, With Plenty Of Funny Moments Review: Ramona is a truly realistic character that is brought to life by the believable writing of Beverly Cleary. Still trying to grow up as she proceeds into grade one, Ramona can't help but continue to fall into trouble. One entertaining, true-to-life moment after another... Reading about Ramona's antics is very enjoyable. From being embarassed by her older sister, to being embarrassed by her friend Howie in front of her class, to dealing with Copycat Susan and her copied owl, and many, many more funny and frusturating things... You'll have fun reading this book. And you can't say that for a lot of books. Told in a way that you can really understand this first grader, Ramona The Brave will remind you of when you were a child. And what it felt like. Readers will pity Ramona when she's upset, they'll understand what she does and why. They'll feel her anger, and her happiness. Definetly a great book, and definetly worthy of 5 or more stars! Enjoy!
Rating:  Summary: Brave and fearless she is! Review: Ramona thinks she's brave and fearless but she truly is deep inside. If Ramona was ever a real person, which she is to me, I'd probably love to be her friend. She is so interesting, it's hilarious. Like the word "guts". I'll always seem to think of her now.
Rating:  Summary: a spunky gal Review: Ramona's life is not picture perfect. Six is a difficult age, as I can definitely attest. Ramona has to deal with a teacher who doesn't understand, a classmate who baits her into getting into trouble, a best friend who is far too literal for her wild imagination, AND a big black gorilla. This book is painful in places, which makes it less easy to read than some of the others. But, it's wonderful anyway!

RAMONA THE BRAVE
By Beverly Cleary
[...]
Rating:  Summary: Ramona never ages Review: This is a book I read when I was a kid and I still pull it out from time to time when I am down and need some reassurance that things will get better. Bravery is not an easy thing to come by and sometimes, as Ramona shows us, being brave doesn't always mean being a major hero. A hero for the day is sometimes all we need to get through the hard times. This book always makes me smile and should bring smiles and laughter to readers of all ages.
Rating:  Summary: Very true-to-life and inspiring Review: This is my favorite of the Ramona books, both now and when I read it back in first or second grade. There are so many wonderful scenes in this one... Ramona seething with anger because her art project was copied, Ramona lying in bed afraid of the dark, and Ramona making a slipper out of paper towels because she lost her shoe. It made (and makes) me feel like my childhood mishaps weren't so unusual after all.
