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.
