I have always loved the Ramona books. They were the first chapter books I read as a child and I could not put them down. I specifically remember this book because I am an older sister and my little sis always bothered me. This is a great book for someone with a little sister to relate to. This book is also very humorous and I don't know a single girl that would not love it!

I'm not sure that this would be a good book to bring into the classroom as it is geared more towards girls. I really do not think that boys would enjoy this. You could however relate this to some sort of family activity. Students could put together their family tree at home with pictures and paragraphs describing each family member. It is a great way to remember your family and a good way to share! ( )

I like how Beezus learns to accept Ramona, for her age even if she knows she wasn't like her when she was four. I also appreciate the difference in lessons that both we as the reader and Beezus learn in terms of reflecting on what's really important with having a younger sibling and what's not. This book is really funny and incredibly truthful. You can't help but love Ramona for herself. The reader experiences the whole process of Beezus accepting and loving her as well. ( )

Nine-year-old Beezus Quimby has her hands full with her little sister, Ramona.

A great book about the differences and misunderstandings of siblings. The characters are believable, hilarious and endearing. Both Beezus and Ramona are classic characters, haven't met a kid yet who didn't love this series.

This is such a fun series book. The friendship is eluded from each page. There is also a variety of books listed from the author, Beverly Cleary, in the front of the book.
