Official synopsis Publisher
At last Beverly Cleary has given Ramona Quimby a book of her own. No longer is she the shy nemesis of Henry Huggins or the exasperating responsibility of Beezus. Instead she is a five-year-old with spirit’and a rare opportunity to explain her side of things.
The story deals with Ramona’s entrance into kindergarten, a memorable event for all concerned. Whether Ramona is proving what a good rester she is by snoring delicately during quiet time or whether she is pulling Susan’s tempting curls, she makes her presence known. Most of the time Ramona loves her teacher, Miss Binney, wholeheartedly. How Miss Binney feels is anyone’s guess. Mrs. Quimby tells her daughter, “She will never forget you as long as she lives.”
Nothing seems quite so funny to children as the tales of what they did when they were little. Here then is an account of kindergarten days for readers who have passed that awkward stage. Many will find that Ramona’s escapades hilarious; others will be moved by her struggles to make a place for herself in an uncomprehending world.
