My Review

This American answer to 'My Naughty Little Sister' was a favourite with my youngest daughter, who found the stories hilarious! Younger siblings will love the chaos that Ramona leaves in her wake while older siblings will relate to the frustrations of living with younger children who can, like Ramona, be a bit of a handful! Great fun to read at bedtime, but also perfect for emerging independent readers.

Heads Up!

Buy these as a box set!

Publisher Review

Newbery Award winner Beverly Cleary delivers a humorous portrayal of the ups and downs of sisterhood. Both the younger and older siblings of the family will enjoy this book. Having a little sister like four-year-old Ramona isn’t always easy for Beezus Quimby. With a wild imagination, disregard for order, and an appetite for chaos, Ramona makes it hard for Beezus to be the responsible older sister she knows she ought to be…especially when Ramona threatens to ruin Beezus’s birthday party. Will Beezus find the patience to handle her little sister before Ramona turns her big day into a complete disaster?
