Ramona and Her Father by Beverly Cleary
5.0
A parent's review
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2019
This book is too funny, and it is most definitely going on my kids reading list.
I read it years ago as a child, and recently saw it in the library by happenstance, and something possessed me to get it again to reread.
As an adult/parent, it's probably a lot funnier to me than it was when I was a child. (That is true of many of these Newbery honor books. A lot of them are written for children, but making use of humor that is more appropriate for adults.)
Beverly Cleary's series are good because they contain children being children and parents being parents. (Not children behaving like 40 year old thrice divorced anguished alcoholics.)
Verdict: Recommended at the new price.
