pick4.5⭐️ One of my favourite books from when I was younger. It was either my first or one of the first books that I chose from a bookstore (still have my original copy) when I was in grade 2. I chose the book because I recognized my grandma‘s name on it. I also liked the book because I felt the same way as a child and hated that I rarely got shiny new boots. #2022 #earlyreaders #fiction #bookreview #bookstagram #favourites
pickI never read the Ramona books as a kid, and I‘m not sure why! The adults in my life might have deemed her too “sassy.” 😆 Or (not unrelatedly) she might have intimidated my shy, pleaser kid self. Anyway, my grownup self enjoyed this and finds her adorable, and Stockard Channing‘s narration was great.
Thank you Beverly Cleary for Ramona Quimby, Beezus, and Henry and Ribsy, and for making me laugh and helping build my love for reading. Rest In peace and so much love.
💜💜💜

Whilst we did enjoy this, Beatrix and I both decided to take a break before we read the last two in the series. This book was a little more melancholy than the previous titles - I was sorry when Ramona overheard her teacher referring to her as a nuisance and had to hold back tears when Ramona‘s mother came to get her from school when she was sick, after Ramona had assumed she would not be able to leave work. Ramona is growing up.
I tagged Ramona because I WAS Ramona but also included Leslie Knope because that's ALL ME as an adult. 🙃
1) I played volleyball and basketball. I will watch pretty much any sport. ESPN can just play all day and I'm happy. I married a baseball player though so I'm a die-hard LA Dodger fan. 💙 #webleedblue
2) My family. I've had vertigo for almost 2 weeks and they have taken such great care of me. ❤️

pickPoor Ramona! She wants to be good (mostly), but kindergarten brings so many temptations. Who can blame her for wanting to tug on the very curly hair of another little girl? But when her be,over teacher tells her she can‘t come back to class if she won‘t stop, what will Ramona do?
This was one beloved character that inspired me throughout my childhood. As an avid reader turned author, I believe writing children's books can be the best gift we can give to children. Ramona Quimby has always been a favorite character of mine indeed. I read other books about the beloved character, but this book is where it all begins for me to love her. Thank you, Beverly Clearly.
Tuesday humor. But seriously tho, take me b a c k to Klickitat Street!
pickFinished another Ramona book with my daughter! She loved it. Book 13 of 2019
So this happened... I was reading Ramona to my kindergarteners and I was on the Halloween chapter. Ramona was running around yelling, "I'm the baddest witch in the world!!" So I yelled it, only I didn't say "witch"... I instantly realized my mistake as my students started saying, "You said a bad word!!" and "My sister calls my mom that!" Luckily, no phone calls from angry parents yet wondering why I'm cursing at their kids...?
My daughter named her owl Dish Network which I love because it reminds me of Ramona and her doll Chevrolet.

pickOh, Ramona. Kindergarten drop-out with a doll named Chevrolet and singing about the dawnzer lee light, you hold up to my memories. I cannot believe how long ago this was written because it really does not feel dated, other than in a few small instances that are easily forgiven. Beverly Cleary was ahead of her time, and Ramona is a timeless character.
Parker and I listened to this today and yesterday. I enjoyed it. I loved these books as a kid. I couldn't tell if she liked it. #audio #ramona #beverlycleary
Onto book two!
#JuneTunz #AmericanKids Ramona and Beezus Quimby and Henry Huggins from Klickitat Street in Portland, OR were some of my favorite American kids when I was growing up. Even though I was the youngest in my family, I was more of a well-behaved Beezus-type--but I wanted to be more imaginative, adventurous and even a bit bratty like Ramona. 😆These are just some of the books in the series and some of my favorites.
pickAs good as I remembered. My 5 yo couldn't get enough. Ramona figuring out kindergarten, dropping out of kindergarten, gaining independence. I think my son completely identified with her struggles from wanting to have the new rubber boots, to the thrill of losing a first tooth. Loved sharing this book with him. #kidlit #kidclassic #nostalgia #welllovedread #riotgrams
Happy birthday, Beverly Cleary! Ramona was always a favorite read for me as a kid! I also loved reading these books with my girls and talking about the historical details of the early books.
Happy 101 Beverly clearly !! Thank you for all the adventures you took me on during my childhood ❤️📚📖
We are keeping up with a minimum of 20 minutes a day of reading to self over spring break.
I love reminiscing with these books. And that they're so quick and easy to read.
Beverly Cleary was one of the most influential #womenwriters of my childhood. This book in particular was my favorite and I was thrilled to find an image of my cover. I might need to go back and do a Cleary re-read.

My favorite bookish siblings. My kid loved this book as well 😀 #augustphotochallenge #favsiblings
In honor of my inability to adult, I'm serving up my favorite fictional child for TBT. I love Ramona because she is so real, and her family and their struggles are real, in a way that lots of kid lit isn't anymore. Ramona is spunky and funny and exactly the kind of kid I love.
This was the first Beverly Cleary book I ever read, and it hooked me. Thank you, Beverly Cleary!
We hear it is someone's 100th birthday today!!! Thank you for all your books, Beverly Cleary, but especially for Ramona. She made me a reader and she created the same reading magic for my daughter! Happy day, Beverly! 💗
pickThe first time I ever read about a kid feeling scared about school, or worried about her parents, or resentful of her sister was with Ramona Quimby. It's also why I still feel joy when I see gummy bears and Pink Pet erasers! Happy 100th birthday, Beverly Cleary. You had a huge impact on my life. ❤️
