A review by attytheresa
Ramona and Her Mother by Beverly Cleary

5.0

National Book Award winner category for 2016 Pop Sugar challenge. Won in Children's Fiction category in 1981. Why choose a children's book? Most others that appealed to me I had already read and I am avoiding rereads unless category mandates it. Plus reading Rainbow Rowley for my YA Bestseller got me thinking about her as successor to Cleary and Blume. Looking at winners list, it jumped out.

I so enjoyed reading this! In fact I could not stop smiling as I read! Absolutely recommend for anyone with kids looking for books both to read together and independently. Ramona and her family are having a lot of the same problems kids experience in their families today, nearly 40 years later.
