I haven't reread this series since I was a kid but revisiting them has been so delightful. Ramona Quimby is a literary icon. ❤️

Another Ramona book I apparently missed as a child. Mini-Me was sorry to see this one end. I’m both amazed and thrilled at how spot-on Beverly Cleary is at depicting life as a kid, even so many years after the books were written. Mini-Me recognized herself more than once. A true reminder that no matter how many things change, some things will always be the same.

This was a Newbery Honor book for bingo. We had read all the other Ramona books when a Reid was about three and while he enjoyed them he only remembered pieces. I felt like as a first grader now he could relate more. We listened to it on audio and I while am not a super big fan of stockard channing’s stuffy nosed reading voice but it was still enjoyable. This one is SHORT but it is a cute story and I like the way it treats things like money problems, family arguments, embarrassment etc. It definitely shows it’s age (Reid was confounded that she would be so excited by a new plain pink eraser) but I think it still deserves its place as a children’s classic.

This is such a great classic. Everything that I remember about the Ramona books happens in this one. It's also the one where her dad goes back to school, so we could really relate. And the one where their mom serves tongue. Groosssssssss.
