Ramona the Pest by Beverly Cleary

When Ramona first got into Kindergarten she was really nervous. When she got to the class room she liked the teacher Miss Binney. Ramona wished that Miss Binney would like her the best. Ramona wished she could have hair like susan’s since Susan had curly hair, she wished that she could catch someone in her class while running around in circles so she could kiss him, although Ramona wished that she could be like her older sister Beezus who learned a lot in school and Ramona wanted to too.

When Miss Binney got sick Ramona did not like the substitute Mrs. Wilcox. Ramona hid behind a trash can and hoped that no one would see her. A few minutes’ latter two boys saw Ramona and went to get her sister. Sooner or later Ramona was face to face with her sister Beezus. Beezus was tough and told Ramona to get out of her hiding place or she would tell Mrs. Quimby (their mom). Anyhow Beezus took her to the principle and the princible took Ramona to her class.

I can relate to Ramona in a small way. Like sometimes I don’t want to go to school, or I want something that someone else has. And for Ramona she probably wishes that she can be in the 5^th grade like me.
