Summary: Trip Down Memory Lane
Review: A characteristically enjoyable Ramona book. Obviously Beverly Cleary has never forgotten what it's like to be a kid. She's very good at showing that children have feelings and thoughts of their own and how children can be both petty and noble. Also, Cleary never talks down to her young readers, using such words as "reflect" and "apparent," which not all grade-schoolers might be familiar with. I think her books are very aspirational, showing children that they can be more than they are. Ramona, to me, is the embodiment of aspiration, with her creativity, imagination, and talent for self-actualization. When I have children I will have them read all the Ramona books, especially my daughters. I want them to read about girls who are strong and self-reliant. I liked this book because it introduced the character of Yard Ape, who is described as "sturdy" and "smart and lively," the perfect foil to Ramona herself. I must say I didn't see why this book got a Newbery Honor; I enjoyed other books in the series more, like Ramona and Her Mother, and the other Newbery Honor book, Ramona and Her Father. But I still enjoyed this book a lot and would recommend it to readers of all ages.

Summary: Romana is Truly a Character
Review: Although it is easy for many of us to forget what it was like to be little it is obvious that Beverly Cleary has never suffered from this problem. She shows that children have feelings and thoughts of their own. Her skills as an author are also present in the way she regards her younger readers as intelligent individuals while teaching them that they can be more than they are with a little thought and work. Ramona is creative, imaginative, talented, and of course active just as every other eight year old would be. Not only are her active escapades entertaining, but so are her thought processes. Watch and enjoy as Ramona strugles to keep happy in some very potentialy traumatic times.

Summary: Ramona Quimby, Age 8
Review: Hi! My name is Roger. I am 9 years old and I am in third grade. I just read the book Ramona Quimby, Age 8 by Beverly Cleary. It is about Ramona Quimby, a member of the Quimby family. The third grade is harder than Ramona expected. Ramona is funny and intelligent. Beezes is starting junior high school and has a lot of homework. Ramona's dad is going to college, and Ramona's mom has a new job. I think the book was great. It was funny. I recommend this book to 3rd graders. It would be too hard for 2nd grade and 1st grade students. I give this book 5 stars for the vocabulary and the funny parts it has.

Summary: oatmeal and fruit flies
Review: I have happy memories of reading this book aloud to my father when both of us were sick with stomach flu. Somehow, cuddling on the couch reading about Ramona's similar predicament helped both of us feel better. Like all the Ramona books, this is an outstanding portrayal of a very real little girl as she learns to enjoy reading, falls off her bike, fights with her sister and makes peace with old friends. It's a great book for eight-year-olds and for those who were eight a long time ago!

Summary: Loved it as a kid, brings back a lot of memories for me!
Review: I loved this book as a child. My mother bought it for me when I was 8 and had pneumonia, so I definitely related to the part when she threw up in the classroom (as I almost did). Ramona was always a character that I could identify with--being the younger sister, having to go to the neighbor's house to go to school, doing something stupid in public (remember when she broke the egg in the school cafeteria and it went in her hair?) and being embarrassed by it. I would definitely recommend this book to any child because as I said, Ramona Quimby is a character that almost any girl little girl who is boisterous and outgoing as she is could relate to.

Summary: Trip Down Memory Lane
Review: My 8 year old son and I read together about 3 hours a week and this book is definitely one of the most touching books in the Ramona series. We've both grown to love Ramona Quimby. In fact, my son gasped when we read about Ramona overhearing her teacher, Mrs. Whaley, calling her a nuisance and couldn't believe anyone could say anything mean about poor Ramona. Beverly Cleary has a knack for expressing Ramona's thoughts in a way that reminds adults about how great an impact our words and actions have on children.

Summary: Ramona Quimby Age Eight--Read it!
Review: Ramona Quimby Age Eight In the book Ramona Quimby Age 8 Beverly Cleary tells the life of Ramona. Ramona is a short brown haired, brown eyed eight year living in the city. In the beginning Ramona had the first day of third grade. After school Ramona had to go to Howie her preschool friend's house to play. Pretty soon she got bored of going to Howie's house. Later, Ramona got an egg dropped on her head in the cafeteria. Ramona also threw up and had to go home. I would recommend this book for ages 7 and up. There is no violence in this book. It really is a great book and the ending is very exciting.
