Ramona the Pest by Beverly Cleary
4.0
The last day of April, we got the word that my younger son and his spouse had just landed us a new granddaughter. They revealed that her name is Ramona. Ramona? I thought. Oooh, I've heard that name before, Ramona the Pest! And so, naturally, I had to put a copy on hold at my library. The copy became available a week later, and I read it.
One of the interesting things about this book is that Ramona (in the book) is in kindergarten. My grandson, Anderson, is in first grade, but I think a lot of the issues with which he's dealing aren't all that different from those with which Ramona (in the book) is dealing. Then too, Ramona (in the book) is intelligent and creative and not always inclined to sit still and do what she's told if it doesn't make sense to her. Wow, just like Anderson! So, this book is a two-fer for me, it's sort of about my new granddaughter and also about my adorable-but-trying-at-times grandson.
Needless to say, I loved this book and am highly likely to read more in the series. What's not to like about an intelligent and lively girl named Ramona? Reading these books will likely get me in shape for what's to come.
