About this book
Beezus Quimby tries very hard to be patient with her littler sister, but four-year-old Ramona has the habit of doing the most unpredictable, annoying, embarrassing things in the world. Sometimes Beezus doesn’t like Ramona very much, and that makes her feel very guilty. Sisters are supposed to love each other but pesky little Ramona just doesn’t seem very lovable to Beezus.
Ramona and Her Father
Ramona just wants everyone to be happy. But Ramona’s father has lost his job and nobody in the Quimby household is in a very good mood. Ramona tries to cheer up the family but her best efforts only make things worse. But when her father admits he wouldn’t trade her for a million dollars, Ramona knows everything is going to work out fine in the end.
