Ramona is a handful! And man, did I hate this book. asked Aunt Beatrice. What I'm saying is that I appreciated and enjoyed that this story was from the pov of her older, practical sister. I needed to read this one for a Copycat Challenge for my group. Her children's voices were either whiny or outright obnoxious which makes it hard for me to decide how much of my dislike of Ramona was the writing and how much was the narration. I'd forgotten that this book is actually told from Beezus's point of view, but Quinn still really enjoyed listening to the story. Typical exploits that had me laughing and laughing: inviting all the kids in her nursery school to a party, shutting Rigsy the dog in the bathroom, defacing a library book (I know, awful!!! "I like jelly on my mashed potateos," interrupted Ramona, looking sulky.”, “Ramona grabbed the book. Ramona is allowed to behave terribly and wiggle out of consequences through much of the book and what finally causes her parents to quite firmly put their feet down is when she mixes jelly with her mashed potatoes - a very minor thing compared to the temper tantrums, wastefulness of the apples episode, or the destruction of a library book.

In fact, a lot of how Cleary renders the Quimby family's position as lower middle class/working class is quite refreshing. This book, while heavily featuring Ramona, is more about Beezus and is told from her point of view. She's the perfect depiction of a young child, the way their mind works, the questions they ask, the way they interpret things, the trouble they get into. Except for one moment when I winced at one of Beezus' ideas (a girl can't like mechanical things), this was a fun little story.
