Loading... Ellen Tebbits (1951)by Beverly Cleary
Ellen is probably not as alluring as rambunctious silly Ramona to most people, but she was my first Cleary book and I never forgot her. Upon rereading I found that Cleary can still make me remember the joy of skipping through huge empty elementary school halls while others were in class. (I was probably on my way to the principal's office, but the hallway time was still fun.) (  ) E.J | Apr 3, 2013 |  Clearly Beverly Cleary 2012, Book 7. ( ) FlanneryAC | Mar 31, 2013 | PB  peacelutheran | Mar 23, 2013 | Quick read last night before bed: "Ellen Tebbits". The book showed its age in a few spots (listening to shows on the radio) but was worth reading. The author, Beverly Cleary, has such a way of capturing childen, it takes me back to the angst of not being picked to 'clap' the chalk erasers after class and other important aspects of being eight years old. Not as good as the Ramona books, but still a good read. (  )1  fuzzi | Sep 8, 2012 | I read all the Beverly Cleary books over and over again as a kid, so I wanted to revisit this old favorite on audiobook. While I'm not sure it really holds up compared to the realistic fiction being published today, it's still a relateable story of best friends. The audio recording is nicely voiced, but the volume fluctuates, making it annoying to listen to in the car sometimes. I didn't particularly care for the voices used because a lot of the kids seemed to have a thick New England accent when the story is set in Oregon, but kids might just find the voices funny.

Soon the girls are best friends who do everything together—attending dance class, horseback riding, and dodging pesky Otis Spofford.

The part of third grade Ellen Tebbits likes most is having Austine Allen for her best friend.
