Ramona the Pest audiobook

Ramona the Pest (Ramona Quimby #2), Beverly ClearyRamona the Pest, by Beverly Cleary, is the second book of the Ramona series and the first to focus on Ramona Quimby as the protagonist. This children's book chronicles the adventures of Ramona's first few months at kindergarten.

I love you Ramona Quimby— and I’m sorry that I never read the books with your name in the title… when your character was first introduced, I wasn’t reading yet and when your books were out with new covers, I’m afraid I thought I was too old to read a book about a pesky little kid. How wrong was I! Listening to this book so wonderfully narrated by Stockard Channing, I enjoyed it as a Mom and as the youngster I was back in kindergarten. All I can say is I would have “boinged” Susan’s hair too!!The levels of charm were endless… thank you Mrs. Cleaey. You captured the universal troubles of all 5-year-olds so terrifically!! I look forward to hearing more from Ramona soon!

I read RAMONA THE PEST with my eight-year-old daughters. We had such fun with this one, and wow, the story really holds up over time. They were totally into it, laughing and engaged throughout the entire book. The actual physical copy we read was mine, given to me by my Dad in 1987, and I loved that I could share it with them now. Ramona--what can I say? A timeless character. The girls adored her, and I fell in love with her all over again. Cleary has such an amazing knack for writing children and capturing their true essence. Reading it again as a parent I was truly blown away by how well she could write from a child's perspective. Grace and Zoe loved Ramona's antics, and we are already on to the next book.

The second book in the Ramona series finds her starting kindergarten. It is wonderful to watch as she starts school. In her word's she is finally growing up.There is new characters in this book, like Miss Binney, Ramona's new teacher. Ramona loves her new teacher, and feels Miss Binney can do no wrong. There is also Howie, and Davy, who Ramona longs to kiss, and Susan who has hair that is temptation for Ramona's hands. There are so many delightful moments in this book, one of my favorites is Ramona getting new rain boots, and the trouble she gets into with them. It's a great book for kids, and kids at heart.

“Miss Binney, I want to know—how did Mike Mulligan go to the bathroom when he was digging the basement of the town hall?”Miss Binney’s smile seemed to last longer than smiles usually last. Ramona glanced uneasily around and saw that others were waiting with interest for the answer. Everybody wanted to know how Mike Mulligan went to the bathroom......“Boys and girls,” she began and spoke in her clear and distinct way. “The reason the book doesn’t tell us how Mike Mulligan went to the bathroom is that it is not an important part of the story.”.....Miss Binney spoke as if this explanation ended the matter, but the kindergarten was not convinced. Ramona knew and the rest of the class knew that knowing how to go to the bathroom was important. They were surprised Miss Binney did not understand, because she had showed them the bathroom the very first thing.This book is the second in Cleary’s series about the indefatigable young Ramona Quimby, and the first to be written from Ramona’s point of view. A point of view so undeniable that Cleary wrote six more books about her.In this installment, Ramona begins Kindergarten. She learns to write her name! She gets new boots! She finds a boy she wants to marry! (Or, a few.) She has an existential crisis about Halloween! And she loses her first tooth and learns just because someone is mad or disappointed in you doesn’t mean they hate you.Adorable, funny, and the next best thing to being five again.

True confession: I thought a lot of Ramona's "pest" behavior was horrible, even while I strongly suspected that I was guilty of the same thing!

Such a cute story. I'll have to revisit the series again. Stockard Channing did a fantastic job in narrating this audiobook. I was all smiles and giggles.

Oh, Ramona. Kindergarten drop-out with a doll named Chevrolet and singing about the dawnzer lee light, you hold up to my memories. I cannot believe how long ago this was written because it really does not feel dated, other than in a few small instances that are easily forgiven. Beverly Cleary was ahead of her time, and Ramona is a timeless character.

In Margaret Donaldson's quintessential 'Children's Minds,' she discusses the importance of 'decentering' in the language we use with children. Teachers know more than students, and thus often make false assumptions about shared knowledge: 'The better you know something, the more risk there is of behaving egocentrically in relation to your knowledge.' Donaldson finds an example of such egocentric behavior in a story from Laurie Lee's autobiography 'Cider with Rosie.' After his first day at school, Lee furiously tells his mother that he had been cheated. He was told to 'sit there for the present.' Yet he never received his present. 'I sat there all day but I never got it. I ain't going back there again.'Where Piaget claims young children's inability to communicate well is a result of their inability to decenter, Donaldson turns that premise around in citing Lee. We sometimes miss children's true potential because we assume they understand our language. We could get better responses and better learning if we really listened and thought about how we are saying what we are saying.Donaldson's use of Laurie Lee's anecdote had a powerful effect on me. Then, at a talk by Marcia Henry, the author of the indispensable 'Unlocking Literacy,' Henry brought up the impact Donaldson's citing of 'Cider with Rosie' had on her. Donaldson, Henry and I could have found the same example of egocentric language in Beverly Cleary's 'Ramona the Pest,' in which Miss Binney tells Ramona on her first day of kindergarten to 'sit here for the present.' The difference is that Miss Binney realizes the source of confusion, and shocks Ramona by apologizing to her in front of the class: 'I'm sorry....It's all my fault. I should have used different words.' Miss Binney is a cool teacher, unlike Laurie Lee's, and for that matter Ramona's first grade teacher, Mrs. Griggs, whom we meet in 'Ramona the Brave.'All of the above leads to my conclusion that the Ramona books, which follow Ramona Quimby from preschool into fourth grade, are just as valuable as texts for early education and child psychology as any other work. Cleary lets us in on the way children think and how their thinking develops with great insight, and of course, great humor.Consider Cleary's treatment of this novel's eponymous moniker, despised by Ramona: '...Ramona did not consider herself a pest. People who called her a pest did not understand that a littler person sometimes had to be a little bit noisier and a little bit more stubborn in order to be noticed at all.'Highly recommended.

I just reread this as part of an informal "Ramona will save us, as she always has" book group with a friend. It is, by no accident, the one I reread most as a kid, in which Ramona begins school, has an actually lovable teacher, and decides to drop out after determining said teacher doesn't love her. ...Somebody please, like, knight Beverly Cleary. The woman aspires to sainthood.Although I should probably regret the fact that I relate this much to a five-year-old, I continue to take comfort in the commonalities, as long as the five-year-old in question is my girl, Ramona Quimby.

Rereading this brings back so many childhood memories. The story was serialized in the newspaper within the last several years and I distinctly remembered some of the characters and situations. I vividly remember Ramona's Qs, "dawnzer lee light" and Susan's boing boing curls. I can't believe Miss Binney has to teach TWO classes of 29 kids back to back. YIKES! She's very sweet and sympathetic but not too nice she lets Ramona get away with things. She's a grown-up who understands children and THAT is what made Beverly Clearly so special. Ramona is a real little girl. She throws tantrums when she doesn't get her own way because she feels it's the only way she can get noticed, being the youngest kid on the entire BLOCK. She wants to be grown up and be grown up NOW! She's been looking forward to kindergarten forever when she'll learn to read and write. While things don't always go Ramona's way, she stays true to her own unique and independent spirit. I especially loved the way she wanted a dot [.] after her name and how she made her Qs. I had an independent spirit like that and I see it in my nieces. Ramona misunderstands the words she hears and it's totally Miss Binney's fault at first. What kid know that present has multiple meanings? She's only 5! Miss Binney is new to teaching so I guess she doesn't know that yet. I also loved Ramona's question about Mike Mulligan! That's TOTALLY something I would want to know and I'm betting my nephew asked the same question. I also appreciated how much Ramona loved her doll, Chevrolet, (little kids totally still name their dolls like this), in spite of how beat up Chevrolet is. There are memories there she'll always treasure even if she winces to remember. I didn't like how Ramona threw tantrums to get her way but as a kid who invented the temper tantrum I guess I can relate. I also didn't like her energy and lack of impulse control. Her behavior towards Susan is unacceptable and she does get punished for it. I wouldn't say Ramona is a pest but she struggles with impulse control. Today people would probably think she has ADHD and maybe autism based on her tantrums. She's a little immature for Kindergarten but school has advanced so much since the time the book was written that nursery school is the new kindergarten. Ramona is rather bratty and hasn't decentered yet. She's still the center of her universe.This one isn't as dated, aside from the very minor reference to wearing a dress to school instead of play clothes and Oxford shoes instead of sneakers. The illustrations contradict this and put the girls in modern clothes. Ramona wears a skirt with leggings underneath. There is also some traditional gender norm references but I like how Ramona is NOT a traditional girly girl. It shows how the world was changing and makes her more relevant for today's readers. The one BIG thing that made me cringe was Ramona chasing Davey around the playground trying to kiss him. That's considered sexual harassment in some schools today and grounds for suspension or even expulsion. don't know if an early reader would pick up on that yet. I'm sure kids still play those games.I tried to interest my niece in this book when she was in Kindergarten. She liked listening to the audio book in the car but never expressed any interest in finishing or reading any more about Ramona. I don't think Ramona is popular with young girls nowadays, sadly. They have more options, thankfully, than kids did back in the 50s and even the 80s when I was growing up. I'm glad they have more choices and better options that ever before but there's something so appealing about Ramona. Beverly Cleary was a genius and a once in a lifetime author who managed to appeal to a wide range of kids across class, race and gender divides. Even though she retired many, many years ago, she will still be much missed.

"Don't make a great big noisy fuss.My granddaughter and I enjoyed listening to this on a recent road trip. It occupied us and Ramona made us giggle. On her first day of kindergarten Miss Binney led Ramona to a table and said, "Sit here for the present." Ramona is elated! She's getting a gift! When other kids are instructed to "Sit down in this chair," Ramona is doubly glad that she is the only kindergartner getting a gift! The book lasted to the final mile home. Another shared book that we both loved.
