Ramona and her Mother

   One of the books written by one of my favorite authors, Beverly Cleary. This time, I bought a copy!


   Here's the picture of MY copy:

   This book is a part of the Ramona Quimby series. Ramona is often called by her older sister as a pest but actually she is just so full of imagination just like other kids in her age and often this leads her to very embarrassing situations. 

   This book is sooo full of really funny situations. My favorite part was when Ramona squeezed out a whole tube of toothpaste into the sink and when her mother asked her why she did it, she said, "The devil made me do it..." Hahaha!!! There's so much more! Throughout the book, Ramona felt like her mother didn't love her. So in the last chapter, she decided to run away. She was so shocked because her mother didn't try to stop her at first. When she started to pack, her mother volunteered to help her but when she tried to lift her suitcase, she found out that her mother had actually made the suitcase too heavy for her so that she couldn't run away. When she asked her mother why, her mother answered, "I couldn't get along without my Ramona." And so, Ramona decided to stay.

   Ooops! I just spoiled the ending....hehe...I really think the author, Beverly Cleary, is a very happy-go-lucky person because her books are really super full of such FUNNY situations. You can see it on her face:

   I definitely reccomend you to read this book!
