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。

Ramona is one of my all-time favorite kids in the world。 And don't you dare say she is a fictional character。 She is most certainly not。 See this dear old woman？ For me she was Ramona around 100 years ago！As Ms。 Cleary claims “A littler person sometimes had to be a little bit noisier and a little bit more stubborn in order to be noticed at all。” Ramona is one of my all-time favorite kids in the world。 And don't you dare say she is a fictional character。 She is most certainly not。 See this dear old woman？ For me she was Ramona around 100 years ago！As Ms。 Cleary claims “A littler person sometimes had to be a little bit noisier and a little bit more stubborn in order to be noticed at all。” 。。。more

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

My daughter and I are currently re-reading this series， and though we haven't quite finished yet， I'm writing my review because we are both enjoying it so much！ I loved these books when I was a kid， and they are so much fun to read aloud as an adult。 Each book has me laughing and sometimes even crying。 My daughter loves them just as much， asking for more and more， and today she summed up what is so good about them when she said， "The way she describes it makes you feel like you're Ramona。" Clear My daughter and I are currently re-reading this series， and though we haven't quite finished yet， I'm writing my review because we are both enjoying it so much！ I loved these books when I was a kid， and they are so much fun to read aloud as an adult。 Each book has me laughing and sometimes even crying。 My daughter loves them just as much， asking for more and more， and today she summed up what is so good about them when she said， "The way she describes it makes you feel like you're Ramona。" Cleary is a talented author and I love sharing her books with my daughter。 。。。more

The book I read in this collection is ¨ Ramona the pest: Look Out Kindergarten！" by Beverly Cleary。 The main characters in the story are Ramona， Beezus， Davy， Mary。 the setting takes place at home， school 。 In the beginning of the story Ramona goes to kindergarten for the first time and she is very excited and she was skipping and singing then her sister dropped her in kindergarten and she like the teacher because she was cute and nice。 Next the teacher gave her a seat and she said that she had The book I read in this collection is ¨ Ramona the pest: Look Out Kindergarten！" by Beverly Cleary。 The main characters in the story are Ramona， Beezus， Davy， Mary。 the setting takes place at home， school 。 In the beginning of the story Ramona goes to kindergarten for the first time and she is very excited and she was skipping and singing then her sister dropped her in kindergarten and she like the teacher because she was cute and nice。 Next the teacher gave her a seat and she said that she had a present but it she meant that she was going to change seats then a boy comes late and Ramona starts to like him but he does not like her。 You will have to read this book to see what happens by the end。I like this book because it tells me how Ramona goes to school for the first time and to gives me more details。I recommend this book because i like when it tells me what is happening in the story and it can be a lot funny。 。。。more

I always loved the Ramona books when I was a kid so when I found this collection on sale， I didn't hesitate。Reading through the series with my sons I was pleased to find they were all just as funny as I remembered 。。。 if maybe just a bit dated。 This time through， I was able to appreciate how well Ramona is written -- yes， there are silly， sitcom-esque misunderstandings and squabbles， but things always seem 'fair'。 Even when throwing a childish tantrum， Ramona always has a reason， justified or no I always loved the Ramona books when I was a kid so when I found this collection on sale， I didn't hesitate。Reading through the series with my sons I was pleased to find they were all just as funny as I remembered 。。。 if maybe just a bit dated。 This time through， I was able to appreciate how well Ramona is written -- yes， there are silly， sitcom-esque misunderstandings and squabbles， but things always seem 'fair'。 Even when throwing a childish tantrum， Ramona always has a reason， justified or not; she is always thinking and she has real life emotions。 And Ramona's supporting cast feel just as real; her older sister dealing with friends and school; her father grouchily attempting to stop smoking and dealing with an unsatisfying job; her mother shifting from a homemaker to a 'liberated' woman， working to help support the family -- all these extra details make the story that much richer。Reading the series all at once also makes her process of growing up more clear; learning how to get along with her sister， her parents， figuring out her teachers and struggling with classroom behavior -- it really is a joy to watch her grow from a pesky toddler scribbling in library books to a 'zero-teen' year old being trusted to watch her baby sister on her own。For their part， my kids seemed to really enjoy the stories as well -- insisting we start the next book immediately after finishing the last。 。。。more

Fewer things in my reading life have given me the pleasure I experienced reading these books from my childhood to my own children and finding them just as enthralled in 2017 as I was 30 years ago。 Bravo， Ms。 Cleary。

I'm certain I enjoyed some of all this series as a kid。 I'm bursting to tell my Goodreads friends that the "Ramona and Beezus" movie is awesome。 My 3， 6， 7， 9， 11， and 13-year-olds ALL loved the movie。 Dan， his mother， and I thought it was pretty great too。 Jacob has three of the Henry Huggins books and now really wants the other two。 :-DRated G。 $5 on Amazon。 I'm certain I enjoyed some of all this series as a kid。 I'm bursting to tell my Goodreads friends that the "Ramona and Beezus" movie is awesome。 My 3， 6， 7， 9， 11， and 13-year-olds ALL loved the movie。 Dan， his mother， and I thought it was pretty great too。 Jacob has three of the Henry Huggins books and now really wants the other two。 :-DRated G。 $5 on Amazon。 。。。more

I loved these novels as a kid。 My 2nd grade teacher had one of these books on her classroom shelf。 I read the series out order， but didn't care。 Ramona felt real， unlike the prissy girls in old fashioned books。 I could relate to all the times she got in trouble for her escapades。 I loved these novels as a kid。 My 2nd grade teacher had one of these books on her classroom shelf。 I read the series out order， but didn't care。 Ramona felt real， unlike the prissy girls in old fashioned books。 I could relate to all the times she got in trouble for her escapades。 。。。more

My children and I have been listening to this series for the second time。 We have read all the books before but Stockard Channing's performance makes it an irresistible listen during drive time。I continue to admire Beverly Cleary's ability to so perfectly capture and explain Ramona's feelings and world at each stage， making her relatable whether the book was written in the 1960 or 2000。 Ramona always feels real and sincere。 Ms。 Channing's performance of Ramona's parents is outstanding。 They have My children and I have been listening to this series for the second time。 We have read all the books before but Stockard Channing's performance makes it an irresistible listen during drive time。I continue to admire Beverly Cleary's ability to so perfectly capture and explain Ramona's feelings and world at each stage， making her relatable whether the book was written in the 1960 or 2000。 Ramona always feels real and sincere。 Ms。 Channing's performance of Ramona's parents is outstanding。 They have the right amount of patience and impatience， humor and firmness。 And Howie。 Oh my goodness， he is portrayed so perfectly ambivalent to Ramona's exuberance it makes me laugh each time。 What a pair。This series is always a win。 I believe everyone can identify with at least one of the characters - whether it's Ramona， her older and sensible sister Beezus， her parents or Susan， whom I came to like at the end of the series。 Thank you， Mrs。 Cleary， for writing Ramona's story。 She continues to teach me much about childhood， parenting and friendship。 。。。more

What a delight to listen through all eight books of Ramona！ We all loved Ramona in each of her stages and the narrarator is a joy to listen to。

I loved-and still love-these books when I was younger。 We almost constantly had the audio books out from the library （that along with Junie B。 Jones）。

I didn't love these as much as I enjoyed my Judy Blume books， but Ramona had her charms。 I think I connected more to her than to Beezus， even though I'm the older sister of my family; probably because， as the protagonist， her emotions about growing up were more on display。 I remember looking at the stenciled drawings in my chapter books， too。 Good times！ :p I didn't love these as much as I enjoyed my Judy Blume books， but Ramona had her charms。 I think I connected more to her than to Beezus， even though I'm the older sister of my family; probably because， as the protagonist， her emotions about growing up were more on display。 I remember looking at the stenciled drawings in my chapter books， too。 Good times！ :p 。。。more
