Big sister Beezus Quimby tries to be patient with her four year old little sister, Ramona, but it isn't easy, not when Ramona powders her nose with marshmallows and invites her nursery school class to a party without telling her family. Sometimes Beezus doesn't like Ramona, but the girls are sisters and that means they will always love each other - just not every single minute.

Mamma Bookworm review

Just what it's like having a little sister

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful

I remember reading all of Ramona series when I was in about the fifth grade and totally relating to Beezus because I had a little sister of my own that I thought was crazy too.

The series itself covers Ramona until I think about 4th grade - but this first book focuses mainly on her older sister. Beezus tries really hard to get along with her sister just to make things easier on the whole family, but she can't seem to remember back when she was that little and probably getting in just as much trouble.

The story is about how it's not always easy to get along with your family, but how that doesn't make you love them any less. Also - even though the original story is over 50 years old - it reads like modern day and Ramona's antics are hysterical. I recommend this to any girls with little sisters (and the Superfudge series to any boys with little brothers!)
