Book Summary
Is It Any Good?
Though more than 50 years old, BEEZUS AND RAMONA has lost none of its charm. The frustrations of being an older sibling to a rambunctious preschooler are the same no matter what the era. Kids will still sympathize with gentle Beezus as she struggles with her little sister, Ramona. The text is sometimes a little dated -- the girls' father has handkerchiefs (they tie them to sticks for flags) and a new book costs only $2.50 -- but the story itself is timeless.
Each chapter stands on its own as a funny story but the book also holds together to make a fine long-range narrative. It's a satisfying read for kids who are frustrated by chapter-ending cliff-hangers or for families who are reading together across several days. Parents who were unlucky enough to miss out on Ramona Quimby might want to designate this a read-aloud book so they can get in on the fun. Beverly Cleary's books about everyday kids are a pleasure for every reader, no matter what age.Publisher’s Details

Read this book with your Mom or Dad
Beezus is 9 years old. She is responsible and nice. She is frustrated with her little sister, Ramona, who is only 4. Ramona is a wild and creative little sister with a large imagination. She is constantly getting into mischief. The book shows how 2 sisters learn to live and love each other even though they don't always get along. This is a very funny book. Read this book to find out what nonsense they both go through.
