Ramona the Pest by Beverly Cleary
Romona The Pest by Beverly Cleary 211 pages
Ramona the Pest is about Ramona Quimby who is going into Kindergarten. Ramona has short, brown hair and loves to play but she occasionally gets into trouble. Ramona loves Kindergarten and especially her teacher, Mrs. Binney. My three favorite adventures that Ramona does is 1. when Ramona had a substitute and thinks that she is a stranger and doesn't like her so she hides behind the trash cans. 2. I liked when Ramona dresses up like a witch and said she was the baddest witch in the world for Halloween. 3. When Ramona touches Susan's beautiful curly hair and gets thrown out of Kindergarten. Romona comes back when she gets a letter from Mrs.Binney asking her to please come back.
I give this book 3 books because I liked all of Ramona's adventures but it wasn't my favorite book.
Beezus and Ramona by Beverly Cleary 183 pages
Beezus and Ramona is about two sisters that don't always get along, but always make up. Beezus has long brown hair and is turning ten. Beezus also has to deal with her little sister Ramona. Ramona is four and has short, brown hair. She is also a trouble maker. My favorite chapter in the book was called, A Party at the Quimby's, because Ramona throws a party with all of her classmates without telling her mother and sister! Her mother and sister then have to deal with Ramona's pre-k class. Will they be able to give them refreshments and keep them occupied? Find out in Beezus and Ramona - now a movie in theaters!
I give Beezus and Ramona 4 books out of 5 because I liked all of Ramona's adventures and because they made me laugh out loud - lol!!Zombiekins by Kevin Bolger 206 pages.
Zombiekins is a book about a boy named Stanley, a girl named Miranda,and a zombie namedZombiekins (who is part stuffed bunny, stuffed bear, and stuffed reptile). The story starts harmless enough when Stanley buys Zombiekins from a widow on his street. He soon finds out that Zombiekins is a real zombie who infects his school with other zombies by biting them. Everyone is turning into zombies!! Will Stanley and Miranda save the school?Read Zombiekinsand find out!!!
I give Zombiekins 3 out of 5 books. I liked the horror, comedy, and action in the book but, I didn't like the story. I felt that the book needed more drama.
