I just got this set for my daughter on the premise that if she reads the first book we will see the movie. I enjoyed them
as a child so I thought she would too. She is enjoying them immensely, but what really bothers me is the pages are falling out while
she is still reading them. Most books can be read and re-read over and over, but these are the worst I have ever seen. It won't make it through even
a second reading. Cheap production that does a disservice to Ms. Cleary's stories.

I remember reading these books when I was young, and have shared them with my 3 daughters. Currently my 6 year old and I are reading them together. These are wonderful, laugh out loud books. They are still as relevant today as they were when I was a child. What I love about these is that Ramona is a girl like so many, who gets into trouble without meaning to. She isn't mean spirited, just impulsive like so many kids this age are. These are SO much better written than Junie B. Jones, but still have the same spirit of fun about them. Kids can just relate to Ramona and her frustrations, and you'll even find yourself enjoying them too. Highly recommended.

We have the original illustrated collection. My 6-year old daughter and I love these books. Unlike other more contemporary series like Junie B Jones (terrible language), the characters of these books are wholesome, convincing, funny, lovable and memorable. And like all good literature, the stories and characters ring true. I am thoroughly impressed with Ms. Cleary's writing and imagination-- no wonder two of these books won the Newberry prize. These are indispensable classics.

These were some of my favorite books to read when I was young.My second grader and I loved reading these books together. My daughter is excited about the movie that will be coming out this summer about Beezus and Ramona,we hope it is as good as the books.
The books were great very funny and entertaining.

I purchased this for my 8 yr old nephew who loves books. He has already enjoyed them quite a bit.

I was thinking about ordering this set, but it doesn't give the books that are included?! Can someone list the books that are included?

I read these as a young boy and thoroughly enjoyed them. I bought this set for my 8 year old niece to carry on the tradition. When she's done with these, I will send her the Ralph set and then the Judy Blume Superfudge set. Classics.

The Ramona Quimby series is wonderful for children and adults. It is a great series to start reading to your young child because it gets them interested in chapter books at an early age and then when they can read on their own and they've forgotten the stories they can read the books again. The stories are humorous, but they also deal with many real situations, like their father losing his job and how each of the characters cope with it. It also challenges their knowledge of vocabulary as there are some words throughout that might be tricky for a young reader. Children will enjoy the stories and adults will enjoy reading them to their kids too.

The illustration is different than I remember when I was a kid, but they are the exact same books.

Good condition, great books, I would recommend a quicker ship method though. My daughter couldn't stand the wait. :)
