Life is hard when you're sourrounded by perfection! At least this is what Ramona thinks! Cute book about the trials and tribulations of fourth grade. Ramona soon learns that imperfection is the way to go.

Ramona's World is a wonderful and humorous story. Ramona is a young girl entering the fourth grade. She experiences this transitional time with humor, curiosity, and with a few struggles. The reader moves with Ramona on her search for friendship, identity, and responsibility. The experiences of Ramona are ones with which many students will identify.

Oh, how I missed Ramona! I wish Cleary would write a teen Ramona series, it would be interesting to see how her life has turned out. It's odd, but I remember loving Ramona as a child, and in this book more than anything, I was really interested in Beezus's life (hence the Teen Ramona idea). As always, Ramona is relatable to any child, and even more so now with the addition of a lovable best friend, Daisy Kidd. The ending is sweet, but as always leaves you wanting more, and more will sadly not be appearing. Amazing book, should be read by everyone no matter the age. ( )

In this book, Ramona is a fourth-grader. She becomes best friends with Daisy Kidd, a new girl at school, who is friendly and not too perfect. Ramona also has a new baby sister at home, and Beezus is going to her first boy-girl party.

To me, this is not the strongest of the Ramona books. It's still enjoyable, though. One of my favorite things about these books is that Beverly Cleary seems so in touch with how kids feel and with what matters to them, and that's what makes the Ramona books seem so authentic. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0380732726, Paperback)

Ramona Quimby is back! Beverly Cleary's best-loved and most exuberant character has been winning friends since the 1950s when she made her first appearance as Beezus's pesky little sister. Now, in Cleary's first Ramona book in 15 years, our beloved spitfire is 9 years old, and she fully intends to make fourth grade the best year of her life. Even with her spelling struggles, a new baby sister, and a fall through her best friend's ceiling, her wish seems to be coming true. Old friends Yard Ape and Howie are still around--and with her new best friend Daisy, Ramona is on top of her world! The ever-popular Cleary has been awarded many honors, including the prestigious Newbery Medal for Dear Mr. Henshaw in 1984. Two books in the Ramona series, Ramona and Her Father and Ramona Quimby, Age 8, were named Newbery Honor Books. Cleary's masterful expression of children's emotions endears her to the hearts of her young readers, time after time. Who else could know just what it feels like to accidentally make a funny face during the school pictures, or the dread of being forced to play with the annoyingly perfect Susan? Happily, Cleary is still teamed up with illustrator Alan Tiegreen, whose simple line drawings capture the most complex of childhood predicaments. (Ages 8 to 12) --Emilie Coulter
