Beezus and Ramona By
Beverly Cleary
I
recently finished reading the book Beezus and Ramona By Beverly
Cleary.
The book is about Beatrice, a girl who's nickname is Beezus, as
she struggles to control her little sister's annoying, but comical, behavior.
Ramona is her little sister. Ramona, in one part of the book, loves a book
about the littlest steam shovel, whose name is Scoopy. Tired of reading this
book so much, Beezus takes Ramona to the library to choose a new book. But
Ramona's choice is another book with a steam shovel! After putting up with the
book for two weeks, it's finally time to return it. But when Ramona writes
scribbles on every page of the book, that complicates things. If they return
the book, without telling about the scribbles, Beezus will loose her library
card. If Mrs. Quimby, their mother, pays for the book, Ramona will learn that
when she breaks the rules she gets what she wants!! There seems to be no
solution! How can they get themselves out of this mess!?!
I
really like this book. If this were a news paper report, I'd give it 4 and one
half stars. It would be five stars, but for some reason they don't connect the
stories enough. They shouldn't call the different stories 'chapters'. They are
more like separate stories, not one long story. They only even speak about previous
chapters a few times, and they are hard to see unless you pay close attention.
You should read the book, and while you are, don't look for spots where
they talk about other chapters. It would take up most of your time while
reading.
