Happy Birthday, Beverly Cleary!

I must start off by saying "I love books!"

You don't need to know me for long to learn this.  :)
And I love kids books - the REALLY good ones, the memorable ones.  And the ones I read as a child.
One of my favorite books was Ralph S. Mouse, by Beverly Cleary. What a happy surprise to come into the kids' room at the library and see the display celebrating the author's 100th birthday!  And she is still alive to enjoy it!

What I did not realize was that she has written SOOOO many books!  More Ralph books!  And the whole Ramona series!  Which, sadly to say, I never read -- so I am reading my first one now, Beezus and Ramona.  I love it. So I challenge all of you out there, if you've never read something by Beverly Cleary, do it!  :)

You won't be sorry.  :)   :)


(The Penguin books are not written by Beverly Cleary.)


 

 


READ ON!
