With this book you can relive your favorite Ramona moments and get a lesson in art appreciation at the same time. --Minneapolis Star-Tribune The true pleasure of this retrospective is that it highlights key moments from the books, in chronological order, and compares the various illustrators' ways of depicting them. We see the same sequence drawn in different eras (with different fashions and hairstyles); we see varying unscripted reactions on the characters' faces, and a wide range of demeanors. We see situations from different angles and perspectives. --the New York Times Chances are, if you ask a Beverley Cleary fan to picture Ramona Quimby, they've got a strong image in mind.
