Loading... Ramona the Pest (1968)by Beverly Cleary
This is a good transition book that takes children from picture books chapter books with ease. Little Ramona Quimby has just started kindergarten, which opens the door to all kinds of new adventures. She learns how to write letters (often like animals), how to play new games, and gets a big lesson in getting along with her peers. All of this is hard on a little girl, but don't tell Ramona that! She thinks she's all grown up now. It's been quite a while since I read one of Beverly Cleary's books. I forgot how funny they are. I think it's great that her books can make me laugh just as much now as they did 20 years ago. I really like the perspective this book gives on what makes an unruly child act the way he or she does. I read the Ramona books over and over again when I was a kid. Beverly Cleary wins me over, and so, always, does Ramona. Ramona is starting Kindergarten and the reader or listener gets to go through this milestone with her and experience the wide range of feelings and emotions associated with it. As she is a unique little girl with a creative imagination the story is filled with her unforgettable and never ending experiences both good and bad. This is a perfect beginning chapter book to read aloud to emergent readers and for early/transitional readers to begin to engage in independently as they will easily be able to personally relate to the main character Ramona, who will likely be the same age or near the same age, and exhibit traits that the readers will connect to:funny, mischievous, creative, adventurous, bossy,determined,and lovable. no reviews | add a review Is contained inBeezus and Ramona / Ellen Tebbits / The Mouse and the Motorcycle / Muggie Maggie / Otis Spofford / Ramona and Her Father / Ramona and Her Mother / Ramona the Brave / Ramona the Pest / Ramona Quimby, Age 8 by Beverly Cleary Beezus and Ramona / Ramona the Pest by Beverly Cleary Beezus and Ramona / Ramona the Pest / Ramona the Brave by Beverly Cleary Beezus and Ramona / Ramona the Pest / Ramona the Brave / Ramona and Her Father / Ramona and Her Mother / Ramona Quimby, Age 8 / Ramona Forever / Ramona's World by Beverly Cleary The World Treasury of Children's Literature by Clifton Fadiman Beezus and Ramona / Ramona Quimby, Age 8 / Ramona the Brave / Ramona the Pest by Beverly Cleary
