Ramona and Her Father by Beverly Cleary
4.0
Seven-year-old Ramona is full of feelings, and this installment in the series gives readers a glimpse of Ramona experiencing some relatable family difficulties.
Ramona's father loses his job, which understandably adds anxiety to the family dynamics. Additionally, Ramona and Beezus think their dad should quit smoking to save money and, ultimately, for his health and the sisters undergo a "stop smoking" sign campaign.
While addressing more serious topics, Ramona and Her Father is not without humor, such as an amusing outcome to carving pumpkins and an unfortunate crown of burrs. It ends with a softer side of Ramona while participating in their church's nativity play.
