A review by karebear0099
Beezus and Ramona by Beverly Cleary

4.0

Given that this book was first published back in 1955 I would expect it to feel more dated. Sure, there are some references that no longer feel relevant but it’s a timeless story. I enjoyed reading it to my 5 year old, she liked hearing about Ramona’s antics quite a bit. I thought I didn’t remember this book from my childhood but recalled the chapter about painting imaginary animals very well when I was reading it. I was also happy to read online that Beverly Cleary is still alive and 104 years old- wow!
