RIP, Beverly Cleary, aged 104!!!

Beezus could not help feeling annoyed. Miss Robbins was letting Ramona stay in the class—the one place where she was never allowed to tag along! Miss Robbins would probably like her painting, because it would be so full of imagination. Ramona’s pictures, in fact, were so full of imagination that it took even more imagination to tell what they were.I’ve had Beverly Cleary on my mind for a while now ever since NPR did a story about her (as of this writing, she is 103 years old!), so it suddenly seemed ideal to take a break in the middle of the dystopian novel I’m reading and turn to the gentle adventures of Ramona Quimby and her long-suffering older sister, Beezus.This book is the first in the series, written in 1955, and is the only one written from Beezus’ point of view (Beezus originated as a character in Cleary’s Henry Huggins novels.) Cleary didn’t write another Ramona book until 1968, and from then on every book was from Ramona’s point of view.Ramona is four to Beezus’ nine in this book, and she IS pretty awful: ruining two of Beezus’ birthday cakes in one day, inviting her friends over for a party without telling anyone, and, worst of all, defacing a library book so she can keep it.Cleary demonstrates why she’s an enduring, endearing children’s author here by having unshakable empathy for her characters. Kids can sniff out an adult who is not “one of us” in a heartbeat. And there’s an important message in here that it’s ok if you don’t always love your siblings.I also like that Ramona’s actions have consequences, whereas too frequently in other stories like this the older sibling is instead at fault for not having unlimited, supernatural patience (to take one example, All's Faire in Middle School, a book by my beloved Victoria Jamieson that I didn’t really like for that very reason, amongst others.)I feel a Beverly Cleary bender coming on and I’m here for it.

I read this as a kid, and I loved the book and the story. As a older sibling, I had several younger sibs to deal with... although I don't remember any of them being as quite annoying as Ramona! Some of the things she did actually made me chuckle as I read them although now as an adult I can not help but think of how absolutely aggravating it might have been to be Ramona's parents sometimes, especially with the apple bit.Even though this book would be quite dated now (this happened in my grand- and great-grandparents time) even as a kid I enjoyed it nonetheless because of the quality storytelling, and still think it would be a fun read for kids today, showing how things were back then before video games or smartphones were even a distant possibility.

Somehow, even though I read and enjoyed other Beverly Cleary books as a kid, I'd never read any of the Ramona books until this week. Now I've just finished reading Beezus & Ramona with my 7-year-old, and it was such a revelation! We both loved it so much, and we were laughing hysterically in some parts. (The fabulous party scene!!!) It also had the loveliest and most nuanced conclusion about sibling relationships of any book I've read in a long time. We will definitely be devouring the rest of the series!

** spoiler alert ** What a Way To Start The Ramona Series! Beezus and Ramona is a character driven chapter book that focuses on Beatrice (nicknamed "Beezus") Quimby, the 9-year-old sister of 4-year-old Ramona Quimby. The book is essentially a series of vignettes depicting the relationship between the two sisters, in which Ramona's mischief features prominently. The book is different from the other books in the Ramona series in that Beezus is the protagonist instead of Ramona. Thus, the book is essentially a portrait of a young sibling relationship--especially its challenges--from the perspective of an older sibling.Since this chapter book is character- and relationship-driven, the plot is minimal. However, the vignettes do develop the central theme of Beezus's struggle to feel love for her sister. Beezus--the quintessential conscientious bookish first-born child, concerned about doing things right--worries over her periodic anger and resentment toward Ramona--the classic misbehaving baby of the family who always seems to get her way and wreck things for her sister.Throughout the book, Cleary subtly paints an alternative picture of sisterhood in the happy relationship between Beezus's mother and her sister Beatrice (the aunt after whom Beezus was named). Beezus adores her Aunt Beatrice--she's a young, pretty, jovial schoolteacher that drives a yellow convertible; what's not to love?The book culminates with Beezus's 10th birthday dinner, which Aunt Beatrice attends. A dinner conversation between Mrs. Quimby and Aunt Beatrice, in which they recall (with laughter) the sibling rivalry of their youth, helps Beezus re-envision her relationship with the exasperating Ramona. Beezus realizes that she doesn't always have to feel love toward her little sister, and she gains hope for a happier sister-relationship when they both get older. After all, if Aunt Beatrice was once a frustrating little sister, then there must be hope for Ramona too! I loved the imagination and sister bond. I would recommend this book for 5 and up.

Not as good Ramona the Pest (Book #2.) In this first installment, Ramona is a 4 year old still learning to interact with family and friends. Parts were funny and in some parts, Ramona is a whinny brat trying to get her way by throwing temper tantrums, which is the part that I didn't care for.Stockard Channing as the narrator in this audio book did an excellent job in projecting the different characters. Glad to see that she's the narrator for most of the Ramona Quimby books.

I had no idea this was written in 1955! Short and cute. Episodic with plenty of hijinks. The audiobook reader Stockard Channing is fabulous.
