Ramona was filled with joy. Christmas was the most beautiful, magic time of the whole year. Her parents loved her, and she loved them, and Beezus, too. At home there was a Christmas tree and under it, presents, fewer than at last Christmases, but presents all the same. Ramona could not contain her feelings. “B-a-a,” she bleated joyfully.She felt the nudge of a shepherd’s crook on the seat of her costume and heard her shepherd whisper through clenched teeth, “You be quiet!”In this fourth book in the Ramona Quimby series, Ramona is starting second grade and Beezus is in seventh. Fictional children. They grow up so fast!The world Beverly Cleary has created is a sweet, cozy one, but she still deals with serious issues in her thoughtful way. In this book, Ramona’s father loses his job and is unemployed for months. This puts not only a financial strain on the family, it creates some tension between Ramona and her father, the parent she’s always bonded with best. As Christmas approaches (and Beezus, of all people, is picked to be Mary in the church pageant), will the family have a happy holiday?Cleary has two important running themes through this series. One is that when someone is angry or upset with you, it doesn’t mean they hate you or will be angry forever. And the other is Ramona’s keen sense of justice. As a rambunctious and imaginative child, Ramona can’t help but cross the line sometimes. But she also gets scolded for honest misunderstandings and blamed for things that are not her fault. Cleary’s books are just SO good at empathetically capturing that frustration.(And there are also plenty of other times, it should be said, when Ramona’s parents and teachers go out of their way to be understanding.)I also need to mention how much Tracy Dockray’s sweetly funny illustrations add to the story:I have two trivia items to end on. This book was first published in 1977, when I was only a year older than Ramona is here. And second, these books have always been vague about where they take place and I’ve always wondered if they were set in Cleary’s native Oregon. In this book, that was finally confirmed when Ramona and her dad discuss taking the Interstate Bridge that connects Portland to Vancouver.

My girls and I continue to enjoy the Ramona series. Very interesting to read a book set in this time period, which focused a lot on smoking (and Ramona's dad quitting). Highlights for the kids included the tin can stilts, which they couldn't quite fathom, but loved the idea nonetheless. Ramona, Howie, and Picky-Picky remain favorites. Lots of good lessons here, including Mr. Quimby losing his job and how that impacted the family finances. No matter what, the essence of Ramona as a little girl remains, which is why these books continue to hold my girls' interest.

A parent losing a job is never an easy thing to deal with, but if you've read the series so far, you will know that Ramona despite her imperfections, tries to help and cheer people up, and it's hard to hate her for that even if she does become an annoyance sometimes. Ramona has matured nicely since the first book, but maintains her childish perspective as she is still what, 7 or 8 years old in this book?

I have always loved the fourth book in this series. Ramona And Her Father. It begins with her father losing his job. Everything changes for the Quimby's. Suddenly her mother is working full time, and her father is taking care of the house, while looking for a job.I loved how Ramona repeated commercials with kid's in them, hoping she could learn to be on tv, so she could make money for the family. My favorite part is Ramona campaign to get her father to stop smoking. This is a wonderful next chapter in the tale of Ramona Quimby growing up.

I'm not sure whether it was reading Ramona that unconsciously inspired me to repeat almost all of her mistakes, or it was my being reckless that made me love Ramona so much. Either way, I loved this book, and still do.

Ramona is really the sweetest. I mean, don't get me wrong ... she's a pain, too! ... but she's also a sweetheart. :)

Ramona, who longs for a hamburger at Whattaburger and to cozy up in a booth with her parents where she feels safe and warm; Ramona, who learns to tie tin cans to her feet and walk as if on stilts, banging around the neighborhood singing "99 bottles of beer"; Ramona, who desperately wants her father to quit smoking and feels like the only happy person in her family after her father loses his job and her mother takes on a more demanding position; Ramona, who volunteers to be a lamb in the church nativity but has to wear bunny pajamas because they don't have money to make a new costume and feels sad about it. Just one of the most endearing, classic, child characters ever created in fiction. Beverly Cleary is a national treasure for a reason.
