A Party at the Quimbys’ 6. Beezus’s Birthday About the Author Other Books by Beverly Cleary Credits Copyright About the Publisher 1 Beezus and Her Little Sister Beatrice Quimby’s biggest problem was her little sister Ramona. Beatrice, or Beezus (as everyone called her, because that was what Ramona had called her when she first learned to talk), knew other nine-year-old girls who had little sisters who went to nursery school, but she did not know anyone with a little sister like Ramona. Beezus felt that the biggest trouble with four-year-old Ramona was that she was just plain exasperating. If Ramona drank lemonade through a straw, she blew into the straw as hard as she could to see what would happen. If she played with her finger paints in the front yard, she wiped her hands on the neighbors’ cat. That was the exasperating sort of thing Ramona did. And then there was the way she behaved about her favorite book. It all began one afternoon after school when Beezus was sitting in her father’s big chair embroidering a laughing teakettle on a pot holder for one of her aunts for Christmas. She was trying to embroider this one neatly, because she planned to give it to Aunt Beatrice, who was Mother’s younger sister and Beezus’s most special aunt. With gray thread Beezus carefully outlined the steam coming from the teakettle’s spout and thought about her pretty young aunt, who was always so gay and so understanding.

Born in McMinnville, Oregon, she lived on a farm in Yamhill until she was six and then moved to Portland. After college, she became the children's librarian in Yakima, Washington. In 1940, she married Clarence T. Cleary, and they are the parents of twins, now grown. Mrs. Cleary's books have tamed her many prestigious awards, including the American Library Association's Laura Ingalls Wilder Award, presented in recognition of her lasting contribution to children's literature. Her Dear Mr Henshaw was awarded the 1984 John Newbery Medal, and her Ramona and Her Father and Ramona Quinby, Age 8 have been named Newbery Honor Books. In addition, her books have won more than thirty statewide awards based on the votes of her young readers. Her characters such as Henry Huggins, Ellen Tebbits, Otis Spofford, Beezus and Ramona Quinby, as well as Ribsy, Socks, and Ralph S. Mouse, have delighted children for more than a generation. May 12 Dear Mr. Henshaw, My teacher read your book about the dog to our class. It was funny. We liked it. Your freind, Leigh Botts (boy) December 3 Dear Mr. Henshaw, I am the boy who wrote to you last year when I was in the second grade. Maybe you didn't get my letter.

  • About Beverly Cleary Bio
    HOME ABOUT BOOKS CHARACTERS FUN & GAMES EDUCATORS & LIBRARIANS ABOUT BEVERLY CLEARY BIO "WHEN IT COMES TO WRITING BOOKS KIDS LOVE, NOBODY DOES IT BETTER" –Ilene Cooper, Booklist Beverly Cleary was born in McMinnville, Oregon, and, until she was old enough to attend school, lived on a farm in Yamhill, a town so small it had no library. Her mother arranged with the State Library to have books sent to Yamhill and acted as librarian in a lodge room upstairs over a bank. There young Beverly learned to love books. However, when the family moved to Portland, Beverly soon found herself in the grammar school's low reading circle, an experience that has given her sympathy for the problems of struggling readers. By the third grade she had conquered reading and spent much of her childhood surrounded by books— either at home or in her public library. Before long her school librarian was suggesting that she should write for boys and girls when she grew up. The idea appealed to her, and she decided that someday she would write the books she longed to read but was unable to !nd on the library shelves: funny stories about her neighborhood and the sort of children she knew. And so Ramona Quimby, Henry Huggins, Ellen Tebbits, and her other beloved characters were born. When children ask Mrs. Cleary where she !nds her ideas, she replies, 'From my own experience and from the world around me.' She included a passage about the D.E.A.R. program in Ramona Quimby, Age 8 (second chapter) because she was inspired by letters she received from children who participated in 'Drop Everything and Read' activities.

  • Beezus and Ramona
    Reading Guide Beezus and Ramona By Beverly Cleary ISBN: 9780380709182 Introduction Beezus Quimby tries very hard to be patient with her little sister, but four-year-old Ramona has the habit of doing the most unpredictable, annoying, embarrassing things in the world. How many nine- year-old girls have to put up with a silly little sister who hops around in rabbit ears and bakes a rubber doll into her sister’s birthday cake? Sometimes Beezus doesn’t like Ramona very much, and that makes her feel very guilty. Sisters are supposed to love each other, but pesky little Ramona just doesn’t seem very lovable to Beezus. Discussion Questions 1. Beezus Quimby’s biggest problem is her nursery school-aged sister Ramona. Besides the fact that Ramona is “just plain exasperating” and always manages to get her own way, there are lots of times when Beezua just doesn’t find her very lovable. Why do you think older sisters and brothers make this sort of complaint? What criticism do younger siblings make in response? 2. When Ramona writes her name in a library book, the librarian says the book belongs to Ramona once the fine for the damage has been paid. To Beezus this doesn’t quite seem fair. What alternative solution does Miss Evans, the librarian, come up with? Do you think it is a good idea? 3. Compared to Ramona, who has too much imagination, Beezus sometimes feels like she has none at all. But one afternoon in art class, Beezus finds the inspiration to get rid of Ramona and to paint her best picture yet! And it is fun! What has Beezus learned about herself from this experience? 4.
