When I was a kid (a long time ago, actually Ramona is only around six years older than I am), I had a few of the Ramona books. And although I read them over and over, and loved them, and sort of vaguely knew there were more in the series, I never sought out the rest of them. I'm fixing that oversight now, filling in the gaps in my Ramona reading. These books are classics. Cleary has a way of bringing back exactly what a 1970s childhood was like.

Finally got to read book #3 in the Beezus & Ramona series: Ramona the Brave! These stories are so cute and Ramona truly was brave - she was in first grade after all. My great-niece starts first grade tomorrow. I know she will be brave, too. She loves school! #107 #BookSpinBingo #23 #TAILSandTALESforADULTS #34 #SERIES2021 #HSREADATHON

Beverly Cleary died at 104. The Romona books were one of my favourites when I was younger.

These #audiobooks are perfect for the mood I‘m in now. I‘ve been feeling down today, and Ramona‘s fun adventures have been just the lift I need! Stockard Channing does such a wonderful job bringing Ramona, Beezus, and the whole crew to life.

In this installment, Ramona has to be brave in the first grade. Her teacher doesn‘t appreciate her, her deskmate is a copycat, there‘s a scary new bedroom, and a dog steals her shoe! Yikes!

LinesUponAPage I love Ramona! I think Stockard Channing would be great reading this book! I‘ll have to give it a listen. Thanks for the inspiration! 3y
vlwelser That's fitting. Ramona lives in the 80s in my brain. Though the first was apparently written in the 50s. Lol. It's possible I read nearly every book by this author. 3y
Megabooks @Lifeisasnap I hope you enjoy it! 3y
Megabooks @vlwelser yes! They were written in the 60s and 70s, but I read them in the mid-80s and always think about them being in that time. 3y
Bookwormjillk I love these audiobooks! 3y
Megabooks @Bookwormjillk they are fantastic!! 3y
DGRachel Ramona sounds perfect! I hope you are feeling better. I‘m definitely going to add some of these to my week. I could use a little Ramona (and Stockard Channing) in my life right now. 💖 3y
Megabooks @DGRachel thanks! 💜 I hope you enjoy them as much as I have! 3y

There were many books my mom told me I loved to have her read to me as a baby and toddler, but the first book I remember LOVING was “Ramona the Brave” by Beverly Cleary. I read all the Ramona books. I wanted to be Ramona! (I still do.) ❤️

#GratefulReads Day 22 - #favoriteauthor
Like most of you, it seems, I have more than one favorite author. Beverly Cleary, Mo Willems, Sandra Boynton, and E. B. White are at the top for children's authors. For grown-ups, Marilynne Robinson, Shirley Jackson, and Otessa Moshfegh rarely disappoint.

ImperfectCJ @Crazeedi I've read all of her novels but not her essays yet. I love Gilead and have purchased and given away my copy twice. That's the trouble with favorites... I always want to give them to other people! 4y
Crazeedi Read Gilead, Home, have Lila and one other on my shelf. Also read another I cant remember. Her writing is quietly profound. 4y

In every library or bookstore I visit.... I always have to check for the Beverly Cleary books. Ramona was the first character in a book that I truly could relate to and she was from right here in Oregon! I‘ve been hooked on finding those relatable characters in young adult books ever since. Beverly Cleary will always be my true favorite author. Beverly Cleary is love. ❤️ #beverlycleary

1. An article about the best apps for book lovers. 2. It seems like from birth, but probably around age 5. 3. Books I read over and over as a kid, like Little Women and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. 4. Underground Railroad. 5. Crafts and spending time with family. 6. Mad Men. 7. Great Swedish Fairy Tales 8. Goodreads. 9. No. 10. My parents, but especially my dad. #10questions @LazyOwl

I recently reread this childhood classic for a reading challenge prompt. It was a total stress reliever to revisit the world of Ramona! I thought Littens would relate to this passage about when Ramona was learning to read. Beverly Cleary captured a child's mind so well!

MallenNC @auntie_jenn I hope she loves it. I haven't tried them with my godchildren yet. I'd be upset if they didn't love Beverly Cleary. 7y

This girl was knee-deep in fantasy novels, but as for non-magical characters she admired, she wanted to be Ramona. Ramona showed young me to take charge and dream-- and that girls could have awesome, hair-brained schemes, too.

Nowadays, I still love reading books about funny women taking charge. Huge shout-out to Beverly Cleary for clearing a path for aspiring feminists who are still perfecting their double-Dutch skills. #throwbackthursday

A small selection of #childprotagonists for #photoadaynov16.

The books we read as children help make us who we are. I think I've become a better person due to reading than I would have been otherwise.
