Ramona Quimby Age 8, by Beverly Cleary

Ramona Quimby is a little girl who is a good artist and so is her father and her father is going to college for it.Ramona in this story gets very embarrassed because at first she gets embarrassed because she asks her mom to give her a boiled egg for lunch and at lunch everyone opens their boiled egg a different way and one of them is cracking it on their head and she did that but her mom forgot to boil it and she got a big mess.

Ramona is really just a little girl that has a life like us and the book just talks about what goes on every day and she tries to make a day normal. She thinks that her days are sopposed to be just plain peaceful days, but something weird just HAS to happen. Ramona tries to be like her sister because her sister is the one who gets all the fun things and is neat and reasposible and the goody good person in the family.

I like Ramona because in this book she tries to be perfect for everyone, such as when she was dancing and singing with her neighbor, or when she made supper with her older sister. I like her because she is like me because I feel like I try to be perfect also.

Ramona Forever, by Beverly Cleary

Ramona Forever is a story of a little girl whose Aunt gets married. So Ramona's family is very busy and there's lots of work to do!! Except that Ramona's friend's uncle is getting married with her aunt so her friend is now her cousin! I like this book because Ramona tries to save the day and guess what!!She does save the day!!!!!

What I liked about the book was that in the book the wedding was planned just like it would be planned in the real world. What I did not like about the book was that Uncle Hobart {the one whose getting married to Ramona's aunt} teases Ramona too much.

Ramona the Brave by Beverly Cleary

Ramona the Brave is a book about a little girl who always has a little adventure in her life. Her name is Ramona and she has a mother and father and a bossy sister her mother and father you can just call Mr. and Mrs.Quimby. Her bossy sisters name is Beatrice,but everyone likes to call her beezus because Ramona couldn't say Beatrice so instead she said beezus when she was younger. Ramona's Family is going to have a big thing coming up where they are going to have a new room built in their house. She gets a new room in her house and she is very exited because she gets it for 6 months when Beatrice is usually the one who gets everything first. The book is called Ramona the BRAVE because she is BRAVE.

What I like about the book is that the book told exactly what Ramona was thinking. Ramona thought she might have to hide in the girls bathroom until school was out because she would get yelled at by her teacher because she stayed in for recess without pirmission.And Ramona likes to think that shes fearless and brave because she had to face a german shepard.And she thinks that Beatrice gets everything she wants.
