Summary: Trip Down Memory Lane
Comment: My 8 year old son and I read together about 3 hours a week and this book is definitely one of the most touching books in the Ramona series. We've both grown to love Ramona Quimby. In fact, my son gasped when we read about Ramona overhearing her teacher, Mrs. Whaley, calling her a nuisance and couldn't believe anyone could say anything mean about poor Ramona. Beverly Cleary has a knack for expressing Ramona's thoughts in a way that reminds adults about how great an impact our words and actions have on children.

Summary: Fun
Comment: A characteristically enjoyable Ramona book. Obviously Beverly Cleary has never forgotten what it's like to be a kid. She's very good at showing that children have feelings and thoughts of their own and how children can be both petty and noble. Also, Cleary never talks down to her young readers, using such words as "reflect" and "apparent," which not all grade-schoolers might be familiar with. I think her books are very aspirational, showing children that they can be more than they are. Ramona, to me, is the embodiment of aspiration, with her creativity, imagination, and talent for self-actualization. When I have children I will have them read all the Ramona books, especially my daughters. I want them to read about girls who are strong and self-reliant. I liked this book because it introduced the character of Yard Ape, who is described as "sturdy" and "smart and lively," the perfect foil to Ramona herself. I must say I didn't see why this book got a Newbery Honor; I enjoyed other books in the series more, like Ramona and Her Mother, and the other Newbery Honor book, Ramona and Her Father. But I still enjoyed this book a lot and would recommend it to readers of all ages.

Summary: A Very Funny Book
Comment: This book was very funny. Ramona Quimby goes to the third grade. She has to go to a new school, Cedarhurst. On the bus she meets a boy named Danny. Ramona calls him "Yard Ape". In the beginning of the school year, Ramona tried to crack an egg on her head and got her hair eggy. Ramona thinks it's good to be eight. She likes her new teacher, Mrs. Whaley. If only she didn't throw up in school, one day, and if her mother wouldn't remind her to be nice to Willa Jean Kemp, Ramona's life would be perfect. I don't want to spoil this for all of you who haven't read this book. If you want to find out what happens to Ramona next, read this book and find out.
