A review by mb101
Ramona and Her Father by Beverly Cleary

5.0

So, I originally read the entire "Ramona" series as a kid. I remember going to Barnes and Nobel eagerly every month to pick out the next book during my eight-year-old school year, as the library near our house was undergoing renovations (and thus closed for a year). Today, I just needed something wholesome to read with how the world is going, and I remembered one of my favorite books in the series, "Ramona and Her Father". It was an easy read, and I really recommend people reread it as an adult. As a kid I just loved that her dad drew pictures with her and didn't yell like mine did. As an adult, I was able to appreciate the struggles he and the family went through.

For those with kids, it's a fantastic book for when your income is suddenly down and kids are old enough to know (like right now). It's charming, heartfelt, and the story is timeless enough that kids nowadays will appreciate it.
