I remember devouring the entire Mouse series in a weekend. That's how good they were. The only other books to come close were Nancy Drew and Harry Potter. That might say something about my reading taste, but as a kid, Beverly Cleary was it.
In about 2 weeks, she will turn 100. So, let's celebrate her birthday by consuming her books and the movies that go with them. If you wanted to get a jumpstart on her birthday, you could get one of her books and read it by April 12. You could do what I did as a kid and start with Ralph S. Mouse. |
She's won the Newbery Award outright and has honorable mentions in the category for a couple of her Ramona books.
But, one of the movie adaptations also won an award - the Carnegie Medal of Excellence. And you guessed it, it was a mouse movie. Ralph S. Mouse.
Having a movie night - what a great way to celebrate a birthday.
