- Reading her books was one of the best parts about my childhood. I read my first Ramona book when I was in third grade (though I forgot the specific book). I feel in love with characters like Ramona, Beezus, and Henry, and I ended up reading every book in the Henry/Beezus/Ramona series that was published at the time (which ended at Ramona Forever, though there's another book, Ramona's World, that was published after I outgrew the series). Though I haven't touched a Ramona book in about 22 years, I still vividly remember the characters and the Alan Tiegreen illustrations. Beverly Cleary also wrote another series of books that I love featuring a hotel-dwelling mouse named Ralph that was given a toy motorcycle. I still have my copies of "Ramona Quimby, Age 8" and "Ralph S. Mouse" somewhere.
- Oh man, Ralph S. Mouse! How I loved that book, I'd forgotten that Beverly Cleary had written it.
