He definitely understood that some of her behavior was bad, but also he liked her. He wrote on one of his kindergarten reading logs that he liked when she did crazy stuff. Part of the interest is that you can see how Ramona's intentions are not always as naughty as her actions might make it appear. (  )kwilibrary | Jun 29, 2009 |   Ramona is finally old enough to go to Kindergarten... the day she has been dreaming of forever! This gives her a whole new grown up perspective on life, but not without some struggle. Between her relationship with her sister Beezus, her friend Howie, and class bully Susan, she finds she has a lot left to learn! BrennaSheridan | Jun 10, 2009 | Although this book is called, Ramona the Pest, I don't believe she was actually being a pest at all. Ramona is your typical, "I am so excited to be in Kindergarten" girl who is curious and wants to please. Ramona goes through many emotional and troublesome times during her 1st year in school but she also enjoys herself and entertains the reader at the same time. It brought me right back to those early school years when I, too, just wanted to be noticed. Ramona made me smile and laugh until the very end. christivance | May 9, 2009 | The entire time I spent reading this book, I felt like I was five. Ms. Cleary captures the essence of Ramona so strongly that I felt like I was seeing through her eyes. My outer adult was entirely silenced, and oh how I wanted that ribbon and those red boots. I'd give this to a child looking for funny easy fiction, or for a parent looking for a read aloud. This would be especially great to share with someone just about to start kindergarten - the chapters are short an self-contained enough to be read one by one.

Amazon.com (ISBN 0380709546, Paperback)The engaging tale of young Ramona Quimby's first days in kindergarten, Ramona the Pest takes a pint-sized perspective on the trials and delights of beginning school. Ramona can't wait to learn all the important things. But she's disappointed when her teacher can't fill in missing parts of story lines, such as how Mike Mulligan (of Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel) went to the bathroom while digging the basement of the town hall. Nonetheless, Ramona loves her teacher, and loves going to school in spite of the torments--having to wear hand-me-down boots, for example, or having to (sometimes) suppress the urge to pull on another girl's "boing-boing" curls. Ramona's energetic take on life appeals to children who have passed through this stage, or who are dealing with a kindergarten-age sibling who is exhibiting Ramona-ish tendencies. (Ages 7 to 12) --Richard Farr(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:05 -0400) The first test round has been closed. Visit the Open Shelves Classification group for details. |
