Listening to this was one of the best decisions I've made in a long time。 So enjoyable， relatable， fun， cute， insightful。 It's amazing how Cleary writes Ramona's inner life each year with such （I imagine） accuracy to her developmental stage。 Anyone who spends time with kids ought to take the time for this。 Listening to this was one of the best decisions I've made in a long time。 So enjoyable， relatable， fun， cute， insightful。 It's amazing how Cleary writes Ramona's inner life each year with such （I imagine） accuracy to her developmental stage。 Anyone who spends time with kids ought to take the time for this。 。。。more

Wanted to revisit some childhood nostalgia after the passing of Beverly Cleary and it was a delight。 I should’ve expected it but it was so funny and surprising how what I remember to be such big significant moments in the books are just little things that really stood out to me as a kid。 Clearly I also missed out on a few as well so I’m glad to have now caught up on the whole arch of Ramona。 The narrator was also very entertaining and engaging， a great fit。

Inside a 4-year-old's or 10-year-old's head and heartSo， Beverly Cleary died a few weeks ago， and suddenly my news feeds were full of references to Ramona。 I love children's literature and know most of the popular works well， so I was dismayed to realize that I had never read any of the Ramona books。 This complete collection was available for Kindle， so I got it and read the whole thing from cover to cover。 Well， they're good。 *Of course* they're good。 People have been loving and praising Ramona Inside a 4-year-old's or 10-year-old's head and heartSo， Beverly Cleary died a few weeks ago， and suddenly my news feeds were full of references to Ramona。 I love children's literature and know most of the popular works well， so I was dismayed to realize that I had never read any of the Ramona books。 This complete collection was available for Kindle， so I got it and read the whole thing from cover to cover。 Well， they're good。 *Of course* they're good。 People have been loving and praising Ramona for decades。 But they weren't quite what I expected。 From reading my friends' enthusiasm about Ramona， I expected her to be a kind of wild and crazy kid， a child Lucy Ricardo。 （For those too young to remember， Lucy Ricardo was the central character of the TV show I Love Lucy， played by Lucille Ball。 I'm guess even the young folks will have heard of I Love Lucy -- if not， google it。） But she's not。 Ramona is a very ordinary kid。 Yes， she has a lot of imagination， and yes， she's not superenthusiastic about traditional girl's play， and yes， she gets in trouble with her teachers and parents at times。 But all of that is quite ordinary。 And that's what makes Ramona great。 She is believable and relatable。 You cannot imagine yourself as Lucy Ricardo， probably。 But you can imagine yourself as Ramona， or her sister Beezus （nickname for Beatrice） or her parents。 It's a real look at the inside of a 4-year-old's or 10-year-old's head and heart。 。。。more

RIP Beverly Cleary！ My mom was a children’s librarian， too， and her books were a staple around our house。 It’d been years since I read one， but to honor Cleary’s death， I thought it worthwhile to visit her most memorable character， Ramona Quimby who lives in Portland， Oregon， with her mother， father， and sister Beezus。 Ramona isn’t a special snowflake like Harry Potter nor rich like Sara in A Little Princess nor living in a unique time and place like Meg， Jo， Beth， and Amy in the Victorian New E RIP Beverly Cleary！ My mom was a children’s librarian， too， and her books were a staple around our house。 It’d been years since I read one， but to honor Cleary’s death， I thought it worthwhile to visit her most memorable character， Ramona Quimby who lives in Portland， Oregon， with her mother， father， and sister Beezus。 Ramona isn’t a special snowflake like Harry Potter nor rich like Sara in A Little Princess nor living in a unique time and place like Meg， Jo， Beth， and Amy in the Victorian New England of Little Women。 Instead， she’s an ordinary girl， living an ordinary life filled with ordinary frustrations in an ordinary time and place。 Her life isn’t that different from yours or mine growing up in 20th-century， suburban America， and that’s why she’s so special—we know her because we are her。 She wants to be adored by her parents and teachers， but her stubbornness and tendency to get into scrapes often means she feels angry and humiliated。 Like a sitcom， everything always works out in the end with a lesson learned and self-esteem earned。 From accidentally cracking a raw egg on her head to drawing her Q like a cat， Ramona is relatable and enjoyable。 She also grows up realistically through the series， her preoccupations and behavior maturing as they should。 One interesting element that reveals itself while reading the series is the development of class and gender throughout the latter half of the 20th century。 “Ramona and Beezus” opens with Dad Quimby working at a gas company and Mom Quimby a stay-at-home mom， who， memorably， sends Beezus to an art class with the instruction to let four-year-old Ramona play in the sandbox unsupervised。 Later， Dad loses his job， works as a grocery store clerk， returns to college to be an art teacher， and finally ends as a grocery store manager。 Mom goes from not working to being a part time hire at a doctor’s office to working full time。 Ramona and Beezus become more and more supervised by babysitters—no more playing in the sandpit alone。 Money worries and the desire for a larger home flicker like worrisome shadows through the series， but Ramona burns brightly regardless。 。。。more

I never read the Ramona books as a child （which I now regret）， but listening to them with my own children has been precious。 So many fascinating characters and funny situations as well as real life issues that are addressed directly。

5 starsRamona is a clever girl who frequently finds her way into （and out of） trouble。 Her imagination and zest for life mean that no situation is ordinary。 Ramona has stood the test of time and continues to please with every reread。

Just listened to 19 hours of Ramona with my 8 and 11 year-olds。 I LOVED these books as a kid and it was fun to share them with my own kids。 The characters are so endearing and hilarious because Beverly Cleary just “gets” children。 Reading them helps adults remember what it’s like to be little。 4 stars for the collection because I wasn’t nuts about the audio narrator， but I got used to her by a few hours in。

Again we have been listening to these books on Audible over and over the past few years with my kids。 We love them。 Often times they make us laugh until we cry。 So funny and the humor is so spot on if you have young kids。 I just shake my head and think， so true！！

These books do not show their age at all。 Beverly Cleary's characters are as vibrant and relevant （and funny） as they were when they were first released decades ago。 The whole series is a pleasure from the opening pages of the first book to the final words of the last book in this set。 Highly recommended！ These books do not show their age at all。 Beverly Cleary's characters are as vibrant and relevant （and funny） as they were when they were first released decades ago。 The whole series is a pleasure from the opening pages of the first book to the final words of the last book in this set。 Highly recommended！ 。。。more
