Funny submitted by peterflorence on August 29, 2014, 8:22am Funny

a classic for good reason submitted by schriste on June 12, 2015, 12:47pm Beverly Cleary writes young children so authentically. My daughters thought Ramona was very funny, as I remember thinking as a child. Reading it again as an adult was rewarding because of Cleary's empathy and affection for her main character. This is a wonderful book to read aloud.

IT IS GREAT!!! submitted by Kevin Bolon on June 29, 2016, 8:44pm Ramona is funny girl that gets in to a lot of trouble. They are great books!

Timeless Classic submitted by mickplu on July 4, 2016, 4:13pm Every 5 year old is Ramona at one phase or another. I loved this book when I was a kid.

Relatable Classic submitted by smileforjd on July 19, 2019, 7:27pm This book is a relatable classic that all readers (of any age) can enjoy!

Classic submitted by TLW1998 on July 27, 2019, 12:00am I really liked Ramona when I was a kid

Classic Ramona submitted by crp on August 5, 2019, 11:13pm Brilliant, classic Ramona. Kids of all ages love these books!

Ramona the Best submitted by sonya r. on August 17, 2020, 8:38pm I love these books! This one is very funny. I think that the book should be called Ramona the Best! :)

A funny and fun book! submitted by PharmRach on June 12, 2021, 6:51pm Like other reviewers, I really enjoyed the Ramona series as a child, and now am reading them to my daughter! It’s so surreal seeing her relate to Ramona while I now relate with her parents! Beverly Cleary really is a genius- how she captures a child’s point of view while making us all laugh is incredible!

Still current submitted by lora.campredon on June 11, 2022, 12:21am My 3 and 5 year olds are eating up Ramona in 2022 and I'm loving how well and empathetically she's written. Highly recommend the entire series. Good for older kids too, since Ramona ages with the series.

Ramona is so REAL submitted by Diananana on July 5, 2023, 6:38pm OK, I consider myself an acolyte of Beverly Cleary. She was a children's librarian who wrote what kids wanted to read, not the typical sleepy, boring fare of those times. Ramona is anything but boring. Cleary gives such depth to her character. And she's just so REAL. Ramona the Pest is my favorite of all the Romana books. Her questions and confusions reflect so much of what I remember of my own childhood. Want to know how the author was able to get this so right? Read the first of Beverly Cleary's two memoirs, A Girl from Yamhill. Did you know there really is a Klickitat Street in Portland, Oregon? It is in the Hollywood neighborhood, where Beverly Cleary spent most of her childhood.
