I just completed a course in Library School on Children's Literature and read Ramona the Pest for the first time. I never read them when I was a child. I laughed out loud almost the whole way through the book. I had to read portions of it to my husband because he kept asking what was making me laugh so hard. I don't feel that the book is dated either. So many of Ramona's situations still ring true for children entering kindergarden. I found especially humorous Ramona's interpretation of the national anthem as the "dawnzer song".
