I just finished “The Mouse and the Motorcycle” by Beverly Cleary. The book is about a young mouse named Ralph. He lives in a hotel with his mother and two younger siblings. He wants to explore the hotel more but his mother will not let him. Then one day a boy name Keith checks in at the hotel and...

Book

Otis Spofford (2008)

Aw, I guess Otis Spofford is alright. This is another book that I have clear memories of reading when I was a kid, but I'm not sure where it fits in in today's society. In this follow-up to Ellen Tebbits, we get to know the troublemaker in Ellen's class, Otis Spofford. Surprisingly - and this is ...

My Own Two Feet (1996)

Wow, I didn't think this would happen but I actually loved My Own Two Feet even more than A Girl From Yamhill! And it's very well titled as Beverly is trying very, very hard through the whole book to get out from under her mother's thumb.The book starts just where Yamhill left off, with Beverly h...

Book

Dear Mr. Henshaw (2000)

Dear Mr. Henshaw, by author Beverly Cleary, is a young readers realistic fiction novel that directly addresses the issue of a child who is forced to face the realities of his parents' divorce; probably still somewhat of a taboo theme for a young readers book in 1984.Leigh (pronounced Lee) Botts i...

Book

Ramona and Her Mother (2013)

Goodreads.com's perhaps most respected reviewer, Dr. M of the department of theoretical physics and Pooh-studies, has perhaps written his most eloquent entry on the 1965 science fiction blockbuster, DUNE. M relates how it is the world, rather than the book, which has changed, such that if written...

Book

Henry and Ribsy (2014)

Beverley Cleary writes about the every day, mundane life of children and somehow makes it interesting. There are no magicians, no elves, no talking animals, no magic treehouses, no princesses – just ordinary kid troubles and concerns. I witness my children relating to these books as they listen ...

Book

Ramona and Her Father (2000)

Ramona and Her Father is the fourth book in the Ramona series. This wonderful, unforgettable series was written over five decades. The first book, Beezus and Ramona was published in 1955! The fourth book in the series was published in 1975! The last book in the series was published in 1999! Many ...

Book

Henry and Beezus (2014)

It's hard to believe that Henry Huggins was once Beverly Cleary's marquee character, given the later explosion of popularity enjoyed by a character spun off from Henry's world, the legendary Ramona Quimby. When Henry and Beezus first saw the light of day in 1952, preteen Henry was star of the sho...

Book

Henry and the Clubhouse (2014)

This has been my favorite Henry Huggins book yet. Of course, Henry overlaps with the Ramona series. She’s his pesky little neighbor. And in this book, the two of them certainly clash!Henry obtained a paper route in the last book. In this installment, his after-school job is funding his buildi...

Strider (1996)

ttSTRIDER Beverly Clearytt “Chariots of Fur”Man’s best friend does it again! Well, it’s been two years since Leigh Botts closed the diary which boys’ writer, Mr. Henshaw, had inspired him to keep. Now he’s taller, more confident, still living in a “shack” with his divo...

Emily's Runaway Imagination (2008)

This was a very simple, easy, and quick read. I first read this book many years ago when I was quite a bit younger. I remember enjoying it a lot then, and for some reason the part about the “generous pinch of baking powder” always stuck with me. So much so that the other day I added some baking p...

Ellen Tebbits (2008)

Beverly Cleary is well-known for writing humorous and touching realistic chapter books. Her realistic and sympathetic characters have been indelibly written on many hearts. One of my favorite character creations of hers is Ellen Tebbits, an eight-year-old girl whose life is brightened by her frie...

Ramona Forever (1996)

Having read many of Beverly Cleary's books and having high expectations, this book did not disappoint. In the beginning of the book, Ramona is very excited because Howie's rich uncle is coming to town from Saudi Arabia; however, once he finally comes, Ramona realizes she doesn't like him and that...

Ramona the Brave (2000)

Ramona the Brave is the third book in the series. I love it. It has some GREAT moments. "Trouble in the Park" Ramona can't understand why Beezus is angry with HER for standing up to the big, bad bullies at the park who were teasing her (Beezus). Ramona thought that she was loving her sister by sp...

Henry and the Paper Route (2014)

My boys absolutely love Henry Huggins. These books may be over fifty years old, but the world of Klickitat Street still rings true. Families still have dogs. Little sisters are still pests. Neighbor kids still have squabbles. And boys still have dreams.Henry and the Paper Route, ten-year-old...

Book

Socks (2015)

I definitely want to give this book two and a half stars, and was very much on the fence as to whether to round that rating up or down. Socks is a nice story with much to offer. I tend to believe that Beverly Cleary came into her best years of empathetic and insightful writing beginning in the 19...

Muggie Maggie (2009)

Maggie is happy to go to school and learn new things. But she wishes she didn’t have to learn cursive. She complains to her parents about it, and they tell her not to be contrary; just be a good girl and do as she’s told. This only makes Maggie feel more contrary. Why should she have to learn cur...

It took me a while to start enjoying this book back in freshman years because I think it had something to do with the fact that it's so...1950's!
