Customer Reviews

A very good book.

Ramona was a brave girl.She tried to be perfect.She got her a new bedroom.She got attacked by a dog and went to school with out a shoe on.And a guy brings back her shoe at school.Also she got mad at her friend.And i liked it when the workers put a hole in the wall.

A funny, interesting book!

Ramona the Brave is six years old, just like me. She has brown hair like me, wears dresses like me and is in the first grade like me. Ramona lives in a house with her big sister (Beezus), her Dad, her Mom, and Picky-Picky (her cat). Ramona is starting first grade. The first days are bad for her. She doesn't like first grade at all. It turns out better than she expected, though! I liked it when the doggy chased her and she figured out how to get him to stop with her shoe. Ramona is brave, spunky and a good artist. I was disappointed when the book ended. I wanted to read more about her. I'm glad there are more Ramona books I can read!

SHE WANTS TO BE BRAVE!

A light went on.

This is my little girl. I read this with tears in my eyes because I could suddenly see her world. It is simple, a quick read and completely free of psychobabble but after reading stacks of books on parenting and birth order issues, I finally got it! I recommend this highly for parents of bright, elementary level children. My kids liked it, too.

I'm Going to Say a Bad Word!

Guts! Guts! Guts! Guts!This is easily one of the best Ramona books. It is time for Ramona to start First Grade. Prior to her start she and her sister Beezus, play in the neighborhood park and the bad boys make fun of Beezus's name in a profane way. Then when Ramona starts school all kinds of things don't go her way. Her new teacher, Mrs. Griggs seems not to like her, because she never lets Ramona take attendance or lead the pledge of allegiance. Then she gives another student a passing grade for plagiarizing Ramona's art project. After Ramona destroys the classmates plagiarism, she has to apologize for show and tell. But my favorite part was when Ramona's family laughed at her for saying the word "guts."
