Ramona the Pest by Beverly Cleary is one of many in a series of books about a little girl named Ramona Quimby and her adventures. In this book, Ramona is starting kindergarten and she is very excited about it. There are so many new and interesting things for her to experience and she absolutely loves her teacher Miss Binney. She also loves a little boy named Davy who she chases around and tries to kiss. She also loves Susan's beautiful curls and she pulls on them to make them go boing. She loves so many things at kindergarten and this book basically tells her kindergarten story and all the fun and trouble she gets into.
I remember the Ramona books being some of my favorite books when I was younger. At the age that I read them I could really relate to Ramona because she was similar to my age when I was reading them. This is a great book for children in the second and third grades. It is a shorter book with small chapters which is good for fairly new readers because the concepts in this book are not very difficult. Students could also relate to this book because it is about a girl who is in school and who experiences both good and bad things. I would recommend this book to any second or third grade student and I think that they would really enjoy it.

I loveeeee the Ramona Books and anything done by Beverly Clearly is an all time classic in children's literature. I think that Ramona does exhibit a great example of how many young students are today thats why it's always important to keep some Romona collections in the classroom because I'm sure we have at least 20 childrent that can relate to Ramona.
