Ramona the Pest (Ramona Quimby (Paperback)) 
asked by savvy on November 20, 2006 11:48 PM
The engaging tale of young Ramona Quimby's first days in kindergarten, Ramona the Pest takes a pint-sized perspective on the trials and delights of beginning school. Ramona can't wait to learn all the important things. But she's disappointed when her teacher can't fill in missing parts of story lines, such as how Mike Mulligan (of Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel) went to the bathroom while digging the basement of the town hall. Nonetheless, Ramona loves her teacher, and loves going to school in spite of the torments--having to wear hand-me-down boots, for example, or having to (sometimes) suppress the urge to pull on another girl's "boing-boing" curls. Ramona's energetic take on life appeals to children who have passed through this stage, or who are dealing with a kindergarten-age sibling who is exhibiting Ramona-ish tendencies. (Ages 7 to 12) --Richard Farr

Ramona Quimby has started kindergarten and is learning new things each day. Ramona is not only learning how to write her name but is learning life lessons. She is also making new friends.
I enjoyed the book because it was humorous. Ramona's reactions to her teacher and peers were funny. They reminded me about times when I was in grade school, such as girls chasing the boys they like or girls admiring other girls long hair. This a a great book for those who love humorous stories.

What a pest! This was a funny book. The author writes many good books. If you like Beverly Cleary or you like the Ramona series you should check out the Henry Huggins series.
