Beezus and Ramona is a 1955 children's novel written by Beverly Cleary. It is the first of Cleary's books to focus on Ramona Quimby and her sister Beatrice, known as Beezus. Beezus and Ramona is realistic fiction, written from nine-year-old Beezus's point of view, as she struggles to get along with her four-year-old sister. Eventually becoming the first book of the Ramona series, it was originally illustrated by Louis Darling.

Review of 'Beezus and Ramona' on 'Storygraph'

2 stars

Definitely not as good as I remember the later books in the series being. I never did like this one quite as much when I was little, and now that I'm theoretically "all grown up" I know why.

Ramona needs a lot more discipline. She's not cute, she's obnoxious. This coming from someone who adores children.

The next book is Ramona the Pest, and it was the first Ramona book I ever read. That was the book that started my obsession with this series. We'll see what I think this time around.
