Beverly cleary henry series6/10/2023 Ramona’s sister, Beezus, tries very hard to be patient, but how many nine year old girls have to put up with their embarrassing, annoying little four year old sisters? Sisters are supposed to love each other, but pesky little Ramona just doesn’t seem very lovable to Beezus. This is the first title in the hugely popular series about Ramona Quimby. Cleary’s gifts as a writer are many, and her real understanding warms every page of this wonderful story of a ‘bad boy.’ Gitler, his surprising affection for the experimental baby rat, and his insect collecting on behalf of the football hero provide a feast of fun for any child or grownup. But before that happens, his losing spitball battle with Mrs. Strangely enough, it was Ellen who at last brought about his comeuppance. Of all Otis’s acquaintances, the neat and well-behaved Ellen Tebbits was the one he most enjoyed teasing. Gitler suggested that Otis might someday get his comeuppance. Otis was disappointed at not being the toreador, but as the front half of the bull he managed to steal the whole show, to the annoyance of his classmates and his teacher. Gitler did not entirely relish the bullfight at the fiesta arranged for the P.T.A. Gitler would have found him pretty hard to take. There was nothing Otis Spofford liked better than stirring up a little excitement, particularly at school.
