Ramona the Pest by Beverly Cleary
by Staff Writer
It was the happiest day of Ramona’s life! She was starting Kindergarten. She loved her teacher, Ms. Binney, and could not wait fo r the adventures Kindergarten would hold. Kindergarten was NOT everything Ramona hoped it would be. There was confusion and misunderstandings. Ramona does the only thing she knows to do…she drops out.
This is a wonderful book to read to your Kindergartener or the reminisce over with an older child.
