Ramona the Brave

By: Beverly Cleary

Narrated by: Stockard Channing

Newbery Medal–winning author Beverly Cleary lovingly chronicles the ups and downs of elementary school woes. This is perfect for fans of Clementine.

For a girl as enthusiastic about life as Ramona, starting the first grade should be easy! But with a teacher who doesn't understand her, a tattletale classmate, and a scary dog who follows her on the walk home from school, Ramona has a hard time acting like the big girl everyone expects her to be. But when she shows up to school with a missing shoe, Ramona gets a fresh grip on her courage in order to make it through a mortifying situation.

Ramona the Brave is a wonderful choice for independent reading, sharing in the classroom, homeschooling, and book groups.

5* by a reader aged 6

It’s super funny and it always makes me happy. Ramona is silly and does lots of daft things!

Love.

Ramona (all of them) is like the best story EVER to read over and over again, I think I have probably read this book 10,000,000,000 times, but because of the story, the authors voice and the reader, it is my go to story!!!!!! 😍😍

I entirely love this book!

What a wonderful way to be fully entertained. The whole group of the kids in the series are each so delightfully unique and endearing. Reminds me of when I was that age and some of the friends I had. Take a couple of hours, relax and enjoy yourself.

my son loves Beverly Cleary

If you could sum up Ramona the Brave in three words, what would they be?

understands age 6

What was one of the most memorable moments of Ramona the Brave?

My son says when the sisters agree and when the new room is built. I love the ending, but don't want to reveal too much.

Any additional comments?

My 6-year-old son has all the Ramona books and has had me play the Ramona the Brave audiobook many times for him. Ramona describes how hard it is to be age 6, mostly because other people don't understand her, and I think he relates to how she feels. I like that Beverly Cleary's characters and home situations reflect what family life is really like.
