Beezus and Ramona / Beverly Cleary 183 p.

Four year old sister of nine-year old Beezus drives her crazy. Ramona does so many annoying, impulsive, discomforting antics like asking to have the same story read over and over and over until father says he doesn’t want to hear it again; and, when Beezus brings Ramona home from the public library with a new story book Ramona writes her name on every page with crayon; and, then there is Beezus’ birthday where Ramona bakes her rubber doll into the cake. Ramona has some delightful explanations that seem so logical that you can’t help but laugh. This is quite a humorous story. Cleary is right on in her characterizations of the sister.
