Ramona the Brave audiobook

Twenty five years later, Ramona is still entertaining!

re-read for book club...GOD DAMN BEVERLY CLEARY WENT SO FUCKING HARD, EXPOSING THE RAWEST PUREST EMOTIONS...NO GRITTY PRESTIGE DRAMA COULD DARE TO TOP THE EXQUISITE TORMENT OF RAMONA DESTROYING HER OWN PAPER OWL TO PROTECT THE PURITY OF HER ARTISTIC VISION......A MILLION STARS.

The third book in the Ramona series finds Ramona starting first grade. Before the start of school though Ramona is getting her own bedroom. I loved remembering my own fears, I had as a kid, of the dark. At school are some wonderful moments with Susan, who still has her curls. Many characters are still present from earlier book's, like calm unexcitable Howie.On the home front, her mom is working at a doctor's office, and Beezus's loves her teacher, he can do no wrong. These book's are nostalgic for me. I read them as a little kid, and now as an adult I am revising them. Enjoy the wonderful talent of Beverly Cleary.

I read this book so long ago, but I still remember Ramona being nervous and scared of spending the night alone by herself. Beverly Cleary made a character that was believable and easy to connect to despite all her flaws, this is a great series.

My eight-year-old daughters and I loved reading about Ramona tackling first grade. She's just such a fun and spunky character. Even though these books were written some time ago, Ramona has such a timeless quality about her. Her story remains funny and often poignant. Love her!

Guts! Guts, guts, guts! (Kate)

”Mama, why doesn’t Picky-Pick [the cat] like me?”“Because he has grown grouchy in his old age and because you were rough with him when you were little. Now go to sleep.”.........Ramona was left alone in the dark. She said her prayers and then repeated them in case God was not listening the first time.I’ve been recuperating from surgeries this fall, and there are days when I’ve found returning to this series so soothing. Cleary began writing her first series about Henry Huggins to give kids a relatable character and she understands them so well and effortlessly that it’s deeply endearing. And her novels have a timeless feel and gentle humor that will resonate just as well as it did when they were first published in 1975 (the year I, like Ramona, turned 6.) And Ramona will need to be brave for the terrors ahead: older boys who tease Beezus in the park, first grade, a teacher who doesn’t get her, unleashed dogs, the ghost gorilla under her bed, Women’s Liberation. Will she triumph in these trials of fortitude?Duh.Cleary wrote about these characters off and from 1955 to 1999, well beyond when I had moved on to different reading. I think I’ll just finish the series while I’m at it. It’s like getting a warm hug from someone you love.

Oh how I loved Ramona when I was a little girl! I look forward to revisting her with my own children!

Ah, the woes of a six-year-old! :)

Just the absolute best. Beverly Cleary wrote Ramona with such clarity and specificity that you absolutely fall in love with her and root for her through every mishap. This was a great back-to-school read and I felt so much for Ramona, who likes to write her Q's with cat ears, is bursting with creativity, and is struggling to transition to 1st grade with a teacher who doesn't always see her for who she is. I can't recommend it enough.

it was better than the second one.But it was okay.But i`m actually not sure if it was better than the second or not ya know.............i don`t know.
