![]() ![]() But it's not exactly the edition that I read as a kid in grammar school, either. ![]() This edition I happened to score is not the most modern - I see some actually have some stills from a movie that got made around 2010 - I disapprove wholeheartedly Beezus looks to be cast way too old. The illustrations have evolved several times over the long, long shelf life of the Cleary books. Beezus being older but not so much older that she can't join in late night sessions of sisters scaring each other ![]() The little (used to be called normal-sized) house where everyone can hear everything Beezus is constantly butting in The details, like the kindergarten being in a 'temporary building' What it's like having a sibling 5 years older (yup) After all, it's largely about her frustrations. Her Ramona is so very real, it was kind of a difficult read. Yes, Beverly Cleary deserves to be remembered and read and re-read after all these years. Given what I just named my new baby goat, and that I came across this paperback in one of those little free libraries just a few weeks after she was born, it seemed it was meant to be: time for a re-read after 40 long years. ![]()
