Ramona and Her Mother by Beverly Cleary
4.0
Ramona reminds me so much of my son. She definitely is a character. I enjoyed this book. This family reminds me of my own growing up a little too. I definitely felt nostalgic while reading this book. Those days of sibling rivalry and wanting your parents to pay attention to you.
Everything about this book is human. The way everyone has their own insecurities and flaws. The author doesn't paint Ramona's family as perfect. She illustrates the family through the eyes of Ramona. The story feels genuine because of that fact.
I loved how she wore her pajamas to school. I love how she didn't want anyone to find out. She takes herself so seriously, because she doesn't want anyone to laugh at her like she is a baby. Totally like me when I was younger.
