-Titulo Original : Ramona Quimby, Age 8-Fabricante : HarperCollins-Descripcion Original: In this edition of the Newbery Honor Book Ramona Quimby, Age 8, the timeless classic features a special foreword written by actress, producer, and author Amy Poehler, as well as an exclusive interview with Beverly Cleary herself. Ramona likes that she’s old enough to be counted on, but must everything depend on her? Mrs. Quimby has gone back to work so that Mr. Quimby can return to school, and Ramona is expected to be good for Mrs. Kemp while her parents are away, to be brave enough to ride the school bus by herself, and to put up with being teased by Danny the Yard Ape. In Ramona’s world, being eight isn’t easy, but it’s never dull! Readers ages 6-12 will laugh along with and relate to Ramonas timeless adventures. Review From the first day of third grade, when Ramona Quimby meets her eventual nemesis Yard Ape, life moves on at its usual wild pace--usual for the boisterous Ramona, that is. Soon she is accidentally squashing a raw egg into her hair at the school cafeteria, being forced to play Uncle Rat with her annoying young neighbor, and, worst of all, throwing up in her classroom. The responsibilities of an 8-year-old are sometimes daunting, especially in a family that is trying to squeak by while the father goes back to school. But Ramona is full of too much vim and vigor to ever be down for long. In her second Newbery Honor Book about Ramona (the first was Ramona and Her Father), Beverly Cleary presents another slice of the Quimby family life. Author of more than two dozen childrens books, Cleary has a true knack for understanding the tangle of thoughts and emotions in a childs mind and heart. Empathic, witty, and astute, she has earned many other awards, including the Newbery Medal for Dear Mr. Henshaw. Alan Tiegreens clever line drawings have charmed countless readers of Clearys books over the years, and his style is now inextricably tied to hers. (Ages 8 to 12) --Emilie Coulter Review Cleary shows us life through Ramonas eyes and shows her young readers that they are not alone.-- Kirkus Reviews From the Back Cover Everything depends on Ramona. Ramonas job is to be nice to fussy Mrs. Kemp, who watches her while her mother works. If Mrs. Quimby didnt work, Mr. Quimby couldnt return to college. On top of all that, third grade isnt turning out as Ramona expected. Danny the Yard Ape teases her and, on one horrible day, she throws upat school. Being eight isnt easy, but its never dull! About the Author Beverly Cleary is one of Americas 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 childrens 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 teachers encouragement and was inspired to write the books shed longed to read but couldnt 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. Clearys books have earned her many prestigious awards, including the American Library Associations Laura Ingalls Wilder Award, presented to her in recognition of her lasting contribution to childrens 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 childrens book illustrator for more than twenty years and has worked on nearly one hundred childrens books...
