I just had my granddaughter read Beezus and Ramona and she loved it. It appears you have and had a keen imagination. I used to dig holes in the back yard to create an underground home like Peter Pan. Finally, after exasperating my parents repeatedly they gave me a corner in the backyard and told me I could dig to my hearts content. When I realized that one foot was all I could manage I widened it so I could fit a chair and table, dad even gave me some carpet to line the ground. Funny, I haven't thought of that in a long time. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02953440041536434213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-27601563228703446672011-05-02T23:47:09.795+01:002011-05-02T23:47:09.795+01:00Loved your imaginative facts!

It was as if Clear had peeked into this student's brain and then written down what she saw. :-)Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-60822225041523920652011-05-02T20:32:07.857+01:002011-05-02T20:32:07.857+01:00I had absolutely no idea that it had been around t...I had absolutely no idea that it had been around that long! I remember reading Beverly Clearly books (like Romona) when I was younger, but hadn't thought it was still published long after I grew up. Simply amazing- and just goes to show that Romona's spirit and fun goes as long as the books did.<br />AVaMuay Thai Los Angeleshttp://www.robotbjj.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-60159346237396263582011-05-01T23:37:42.780+01:002011-05-01T23:37:42.780+01:00Ramona reminds me so much of my daughter!

I will be sharing these classic books with her very soon - I think she and Ramona will get along splendidly.<br /><br />Hey, it's been great discovering your blog just now.

I most identified with "Ramona the Pest" because of how she yearned for those red boots and wanted to jump in puddles and wanted her stick-straight hair to be curly. I knew exactly how Ramona felt!<br /><br />Great choice for Q!Laura S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13934230198562773803noreply@blogger.com
