A Girl from Yamhill by Beverly Cleary

4.0

This book is a real treat. Beverly Cleary applies her excellent ability to write from a child's perspective to her own life--a child's joy in exploring the world, her puzzlement at adults' ways, and her own logic that leaves adults scratching their heads. The book gives us a clear understanding of what it was like to grow up during the Depression. And for those of us who know the Portland area some fun glimpses of a by-gone era.
