About Beverly Cleary

Beverly Cleary is one of America's most beloved authors. As a child, she struggled with reading and writing. But by third grade, after spending much time in her public library in Portland, Oregon, she found her skills had greatly improved. Before long, her school librarian was saying that she should write children's books when she grew up.Instead she became a librarian. When a young boy asked her, ""Where are the books about kids like us?"" she remembered her teacher's encouragement and was inspired to write the books she'd longed to read but couldn't find when she was younger. She based her funny stories on her own neighborhood experiences and the sort of children she knew. And so, the Klickitat Street gang was born!Mrs. Cleary's books have earned her many prestigious awards, including the American Library Association's Laura Ingalls Wilder Award, presented to her in recognition of her lasting contribution to children's literature. Dear Mr. Henshaw won the Newbery Medal, and Ramona Quimby, Age 8 and Ramona and Her Father have been named Newbery Honor Books. Her characters, including Beezus and Ramona Quimby, Henry Huggins, and Ralph, the motorcycle-riding mouse, have delighted children for generations.

Goodreads review by M.M. Strawberry

ewwwww, omg, gIRlS HavE CooTiEs!!! In all seriousness, I think Henry and Ramona were both kinda assholes in this book. Henry's a chauvinist, and Ramona is a nosy brat. Sure, the ending is cutesy, but this is definitely one of the weaker Beverly Cleary books. Sure, this was published in the 1960's, bu......more

Goodreads review by Sophie

I Love the anniversary edition with the classic illustration! Wish the publisher would do the same for the whole Ramona series! I love the language in these books, none of the bratty talk and mundane scenarios that plague contemporary children's fiction. Beverly Cleary really remembers what it is li......more
