5.0 out of 5 stars Still a favorite, June 16, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Ramona Boxed Set (4 Volumes) (Ramona the Brave, Ramona the Pest, Beezus and Ramona, Ramona Quimby - age 8) (Paperback)

I read these books as a child, and loved them. Ramona deals with childhood tribulations (fear of going to the principal's office, worrying about her family when her father loses his job, having to play with her friend's little sister whom she detests) that most children experience in some variation, and so a child can identify with her as they read and feel reassured by the fact that they are not the only one who has gone through these things. Also, many of her mischevious adventures are so entertaining and wonderful (for instance, when she makes a "toothpaste cake" in the bathroom sink using the entire tube of toothpaste). Even as an adult, I still find myself reaching for these sometimes to be reassured by an old friend and to re-live a childhood comfort.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Ramona Boxed Set (4 Volumes) (Ramona the Brave, Ramona the Pest, Beezus and Ramona, Ramona Quimby - age 8) (Paperback)

This book is a good book for all ages because it's funny and it reminds you of yourself and your siblings when you were young. Once you read this book you will want to read all the other Beverly Cleary books. I recommend this book to all the people out there who likes reading Beverly Cleary books. I rate this book 5 stars because it's a funny and good book.

I grew up loving Ramona books and 20 years later I still love and remember them. Ramona is every girl-her worries, troubles, joys are true of all girls. She is funny, tricky, a worrier and a fun seeker. She loves her family and as she goes through life we get to learn the lessons with her, watching her fall as well as succeed-making us laugh all the while. These books are something that young and old can enjoy together-they stand the test of time.
