Work detailsRamona's World by Beverly Cleary (1999)
None. More fun with Ramona. If you don't enjoy these books, maybe you don't remember what it was like to be a child? ( )Ramona's World is an action packed book. Ramona Quimby begins fourth grade and thinks it will be the best year of her life. She soon realizes that fourth grade is going to be alot of work. She has a new baby sister,Roberta,who looks up to her and she meets a new girl in school named Daisy. Travel through Ramona's life in the fourth grade by reading this book. She meets new friends, has a new teacher that she can't decide whether she likes her or not, and has many after school adventures. This book is a good book to read to upper elementary classes. I think they would enjoy this book at the beginning of the semester to show them that everyone has a hard time, at some point, in school. If I taught second or third grade, I would read this to my students. As I read it, there could me many activities to do. We would begin a journal that the students could write in as we read the book. At the end of every week they would be assigned to write what they liked about the book so far and predicted would happen next. Then after we finished the book, the students would be assigned to write if they have ever felt like Ramona did and why. I loved Ramona to death back in the day, so I was surprised to find that there was a Ramona book I hadn't read. It wasn't published until I was 19 (way out of the target audience), so that makes sense. Eh. It was OK. Nowhere near as resonant as the other Ramona books, and I don't think that's just because of reading it as an adult. Much less angst than I remember. There are a few points of conflict, but not that many. And no blue oatmeal, Q's with whiskers, ears and tails, or No Smo King campaigns - no real memorable images at all. It's nice to have another Ramona book, but it's pretty forgettable compared to all the othes. After seeing the new Ramona & Beezus movie, I bought all the of the Ramona books I read when I was little for another re-read. Loved them just as much now as I did when I was 8. In this last book about Ramona, she is in for new adventures now that she's in fourth grade. With a new best friend by her side, if promises to be a good year...if she can survive spelling that is. It was great to revisit this series I loved as a child. I wish there were going to be more books. I'd love to see what happens to Ramona next. no reviews | add a review
