Summary: Touching
Review: A very sweet book. I didn't expect to enjoy this as much as my all-time favorite Ramona book, Ramona and Her Father, but I did. While Ramona and Her Father is funny, Ramona and Her Mother is touching. I actually cried when Ramona was about to run away. Beverly Cleary really outdoes herself here. Her books make me believe that there are such things as good people and happy families. I will have my mother read this the next time I see her. Ramona and Her Father may be my all-time favorite, but this book comes a very close second.

Summary: "Ramona and Her Mother"
Review: Are you a mama's girl or daddy's boy who wonders how others get along with THEIR parents? Do you ever wonder how kids could be so close to their parents when you can't stand yours? All of these questions could be answered by reading the book, "Ramona and Her Mother", by Beverly Cleary. The book is about a young girl named Ramona who has two very hard working parents. Although Ramona knows her parents work hard to support their family, there are times where she feels left out. She sometimes thinks that her parents pay more attention to her sister Beezus and ramona feels she should get the most attention because she's the baby in the family. Ramona wishes that one day her mom could just stay home from work and spend time with her. She also wishes peopple would tell her she's a mama's girl just like they tell her friend. Cleary has written many books including, "Ramona the Brave," "Ramona Quimby, Age 8," "Socks," and other books that young readers have been attracted to. her writing, though, can be for anybody to read. it is very easy to make connections with this book, but you have to think each scene out throughly and think about its actual meaning or purpose. Beverly clery's books remind me of Ann M. Martin, a populare author of "The Babysitters Club" series. they both show great meaning when conducting a scene. So, if you ever wonder about things that relate to you and your parents, this is the book for you

Summary: **[My] Review**
Review: At 7 and a half Ramona Quimby tries hard to contribute to keeping the family peace. Usually, she ends up being the cause of every uproar and incident in the house despite her efforts. One could never say Ramona's life is dull. She's always up to something from dying herself blue, watching while her young neighbor flings Kleenex around the house, squeezing an entire tube of toothpaste into the bathroom sink, to wearing her soft new pajamas to school one day. All she wants is her Mother's attention and recognition as she struggles for a place in her mother's heart, as she has begun to worry that she might be unlovable.

Beverly Cleary's undeniable gift for understanding the web of thoughts and emotions scrambling around in a child's mind and heart is remarkable. Luckilyher novels will be around for a long time yet to come.

Summary: Ramona and Her Mother
Review: In this book Ramona seems to be more agreeable than Beezus, unlike previous Ramona stories - probably because Beezus is becoming a teenager. One of the funniest parts is when Beezus insists on getting a haircut at a beauty school on the other end of Portland - they get off at the wrong exit and can't find their way back to the freeway - I made the same mistake in Portland in real life, so that screwy exit DOES exist!

Summary: this is a very good book!!
Review: The book Ramona and Her Mother was a very funy book. This book is about a little girl convincing herself that nobody likes her. One of the most intresting things this book is all the problems that the Quimby family goes through. One problem is that the parents got into an argument and Ramona and Beezus , Ramona's older sister, thinks that thier parents were going to split up. Ramona gets so angry at her parents that she says that she is going to run away. So Ramona's mother comes in and says " Do you want me to help you pack?". well these are not the words Ramona expected to hear her mother say so she said "yes." Her mother told her to pack all sorts of things. When Ramona was all finished packing the bag was way to heavy for her.So she burst out in tears and told her mom she wanted to stay. I believe that this was a very good book and i encourage people to read it. So read the book and find out more about Ramona.
