This book is amazing! So interesting,my daughter loves it! She keeps re-reading it whenever she’s bored. She is in 5th grade and loves it! Its perfect for her. Five star review

Great, as Beverly Cleary's books always are

for me, no one captures what it's like to be a child like Beverly Cleary. she tells things from the child's point of you, with great detail and understanding of what it's like at each age to be willful and conflicted and trying to be good.

Great for the classroom!

Perfect for my 3 year old on a long car ride.

We loved it. On long car trips my husband and I struggle to listen to "the wheels on the bus" on a loop. We decided to download this book for our 3 year old and he found many moments that he thought were funny! He would say, "Romona is silly mommy." Even I smiled quite a bit because of the innocence of it all. Enjoyable for the family.

that is great
