Beverly Cleary Mar 26, 2021
#4
I read these to my kids. Really great reading. Pre-teenage angst. Great characters. Ramona, her big sister “Beezuz”, her nemesis “yard ape”, the cat “picky-picky”. Stories from late 50’s Portland (on Kilikitat St, IIRC). In the Encyclopedia Brown, Homer Price vein. Very white, suburban.

104 is a long time to live.
