Ramona Quimby, Age 8 by Beverly Cleary

5.0

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.
