Purchase options and add-ons

Newbery Medal–winning author Beverly Cleary expertly depicts the trials and triumphs of growing up through a relatable heroine who isn't afraid to be exactly who she is.

Ramona Quimby is excited to start kindergarten. No longer does she have to watch her older sister, Beezus, ride the bus to school with all the big kids. She's finally old enough to do it too!

Then she gets into trouble for pulling her classmate's boingy curls during recess. Even worse, her crush rejects her in front of everyone. Beezus says Ramona needs to quit being a pest, but how can she stop if she never was trying to be one in the first place?

Readers ages 6-12 will laugh and relate to Ramona's timeless adventures.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Here comes Ramona!

Ramona Quimby is thrilled to be starting kindergarten. She likes a little boy named Davy so much she wants to kiss him, and she loves Susan's beautiful curls so much she wants to pull them to see them boing. Her teacher even promises her a present just for sitting still! So how does Ramona get in trouble? Well, anyone who knows Ramona knows that she is never a pest on purpose.

About the Author

Beverly Cleary is one of America's most beloved authors. As a child, she struggled with reading and writing. But by third grade, after spending much time in her public library in Portland, Oregon, she found her skills had greatly improved. Before long, her school librarian was saying that she should write children's books when she grew up.

Instead she became a librarian. When a young boy asked her, "Where are the books about kids like us?" she remembered her teacher's encouragement and was inspired to write the books she'd longed to read but couldn't find when she was younger. She based her funny stories on her own neighborhood experiences and the sort of children she knew. And so, the Klickitat Street gang was born!

Mrs. Cleary's books have earned her many prestigious awards, including the American Library Association's Laura Ingalls Wilder Award, presented to her in recognition of her lasting contribution to children's literature. Dear Mr. Henshaw won the Newbery Medal, and Ramona Quimby, Age 8 and Ramona and Her Father have been named Newbery Honor Books. Her characters, including Beezus and Ramona Quimby, Henry Huggins, and Ralph, the motorcycle-riding mouse, have delighted children for generations.



Jaqueline Rogers has been a professional children's book illustrator for more than twenty years and has worked on nearly one hundred children's books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still relevant and beloved childrens book transcends time
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2021

I wondered if this series would still be relevant for my precocious smart 10, 6 & 4 year old grandchildren. However, to my surprise, they all totally relate to the characters & sentiments expressed in the book, which appear to transcend the pop cultural differences of our modern world. I read a chapter to all three children for bedtime storytime via a "drop in" from my Echo Show to the Alexa device in their bedroom nightly. The story lines invariably have opened the door to many conversations where all three children have felt free to express feelings they might not otherwise have shared. Its a way we have stayed connected for some special & meaningful grandma time even when we cant visit in person.

Review title was written by my child right after we read the book on the kindle app. She absolutely loved how the story progressed, and especially loved the ending. I read her a chapter each night before bed. I think she relates with Ramona and the adventures she gets herself into, despite clearly being born in vastly different eras. We’ll definitely get the next one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely wonderful read aloud.
Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2014

I teach 4 and 5 year olds and am constantly looking for ways to introduce them to chapter books as read alouds. I thought I'd try Ramon the Pest and it's right up there with My Father's Dragon and Chocolate Fever. Ramona holds their attention and makes us all laugh. Sometimes I start laughing before I even finish reading the current section to them. It's also a wonderful book to practice comprehension skills. We predict what she is going to do and that adds to the fun of the story. There are some great parts where Ramona's poor choice leads to bigger problems and the children have the chance to talk about what has happened and what went wrong with Ramona's actions. On multiple levels this is an excellent book. We are doing a library display for our school and part of it are Ramona hands with pink worm engagement rings. Who could ask for more from a book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for young readers
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2021

I read this with my daughter over the last two weeks. I don't remember reading this when I was a kid, but it's one of my wife's favorite series from childhood.

Ramona does some things that I could definitely see little kids doing. I did some similar things at that age. Ramona's perspective is pretty clear in the story, but no one else is very well developed. Which isn't surprising for a little kids book. The story was fast paced and easy to read, once again not surprising. I can see why my wife liked these books growing up.

The paperback was well formatted with no obvious errors. There are numerous illustrations as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Please read this book
Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2018

This book is so old that many parents, and most children, will not be able to relate to the life style it describes. Which is too bad, because the description of Ramona's emotions is so great. The book is the best I have ever read at taking me back (70 years) to what that age felt like. It also relates the feelings to what happened to Ramona, and how she interpreted it. It shows how important it is for kids to be around people who they know care about them. This is one of the things is think is so bad for today's kids about modern schools and places kids are, where the "attendants" do not relate to them as individuals, either because they are teachers focused on test results or other externalities, or caretakers at daycare or such who don't care, or parents or others who are more concerned with their phone I would recommend this book to parents and grandparents who just don't get why kids react as they do, and also for anyone who wants to know what a supportive environment for children looks (and feels) like.

I was assigned a Beverly Cleary book for Beverly Cleary' s one hundredth birthday. I had been assigned Ramona the pest for a week. I thought since it was a lower level book, it would be boring.
Boy, was I wrong! After school, when we want home, so noticed that I left my Ramona The Pest at school! I told my mom and asked if I could buy the kindle version. I usually hate reading online books but I soon learned that not only the kindle version is easier to read and able to zoom in, that at every break in the book, it adapts to my learning speed! I recommend this book to any reader that has the same reading level, or even above. You may overlook this book at first, but you'll get sucked into the story and enjoy it as much as you did or would have at a lower level.

5.0 out of 5 stars Smart little girl who has trouble with the system
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2012

I love all the Ramona books. I read them to my children and I recently bought the kindle version to read to my granddaughters on vacation. A note of praise for Kindle. If I hadn't had one, I wouldn't have had access to the book on the spur of the moment. Anyway, I think Ramona reminds me of myself as a child. She thinks a lot. She is eager to learn. And she's definitely in the 'mythic/literal" stage. So life keeps tripping her up. On the other hand, she's delighted when Henry takes a wheel off her tricycle because now she has a 'two wheeler' and she rides it without self-consciousness. It is a delightful book for children who have to navigate the increasingly adult world of school. Lots of laughs and lots of empathy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Held my kids spellbound

Stockard Channing's rendition of "Ramona the Pest" kept my kids (6-year-old boy, 5-year-old girl) silent for the entire book--3 1/2 hours. They were captivated by Ramona's crises and adventures. It is hard to believe that this book has been around for so long because so little of it seems dated. I enjoyed it as much as the children did. Ramona Forever was not quite as gripping, but when we got in the car today to return from our trip, my son reminded me that we had missed the last few chapters and we all listened quietly to the wedding and the arrival of Algie. Then we put in Ramona the Pest--again! I just got online to order more Beverly Cleary books for our next trip. Forget the DVDs and pop one of these in!
