Ramona the Brave by Beverly Cleary

by Staff Writer

ramona-the-brave.jpg
Ramona is starting first grade and she is determined to put on a brave face. As usual things are changing…Ramona has to be brave about sleeping in the dark and brave about her mother going back to work and brave about the ferocious dog on the sidewalk. There are so many things to brave about. Ramona is also forced to deall with all the things that first grde brings…a copycat and a teacher who “doesn’t like” her.

Ramona is the quintessential everygirl. You can’t read her story and not relate to her and all of her problems, fears and life experiences.

About Tiny Treasury

It's impossible to get rid of a bad children's book once it has entered your house. In fact, if history teaches us anything, it's that it will become a favorite. Your child will cling to it, sleep with it and worst yet, require you to read it over and over again.

At tinytreasury.com, our mission is separate the good from the bad. If I can save one parent from having to read a rhyming book about dancing pigs, then I'll know I've done my job.
