They teach Beezus that family relationships are complicated, and we don't always feel in love with those closest to us.The book balances sweet and silly. Luckily, her mom and her Aunt Beatrice convince Beezus to share her feelings. Beezus realizes that at that moment she doesn't love her sister at all, and then feels terribly guilty, for only a horrible girl would feel that way. The worst moment, however, is when Ramona ruins Beezus's very special birthday. Ramona has a wonderful imagination and cute face, which everyone seems to notice, while overlooking Beezus. She is a little jealous of her younger sibling, too. Beezus thinks that Ramona always gets her way. Or when she writes her name on every page in the library book, after her dad tells her that she will have to return it and she doesn't want to. Even though Ramona is her sister, and they have some nice moments together, Beezus can't help wishing that Ramona would act more like other girls' little sisters.Especially when Ramona pulls stunts like inviting all the kids her age to her house one rainy afternoon, without telling her mom, just because she wants to have a party.
and quite mature at least, she believes she is. In this, the first of the Ramona series, the central character is actually Beezus, Ramona's older sister. Her blend of outrageous imagination and mischievousness is a winning combination that creates fun stories. I enjoy mist books that Cleary wrote, but Ramona is always my favorite. Her characters, including Beezus and Ramona Quimby, Henry Huggins, and Ralph, the motorcycle-riding mouse, have delighted children for generations. Henshaw won the Newbery Medal, and Ramona Quimby, Age 8 and Ramona and Her Father have been named Newbery Honor Books. Cleary's books have earned her many prestigious awards, including the American Library Association's Laura Ingalls Wilder Award, presented to her in recognition of her lasting contribution to children's literature. And so, the Klickitat Street gang was born! She based her funny stories on her own neighborhood experiences and the sort of children she knew. When a young boy asked her, "Where are the books about kids like us?" she remembered her teacher's encouragement and was inspired to write the books she'd longed to read but couldn't find when she was younger. Before long, her school librarian was saying that she should write children's books when she grew up. But by third grade, after spending much time in her public library in Portland, Oregon, she found her skills had greatly improved. As a child, she struggled with reading and writing. Beverly Cleary is one of America's most beloved authors.
