[quote=Anonymous]My 4 year old has started listening to “Beezus and Ramona” as an audiobook. (Stockard Channing narrates— she is fantastic.) Each chapter is much like a short story, and my daughter often listens to the same chapters over and over again. (The incident with Ribsy getting stuck in the bathroom is a favorite.) I was struck how true to life the depictions of the characters and the family dynamics still are. My daughter is so enthralled because she recognizes this as well, even at a young age. She’s also funnily a lot like Ramona herself— pretty chaotic, strong-willed, sometimes exasperating. I could see her doing pretty much every single thing Ramona does that drives Beezus so nuts. But also she’s also incredibly clever, independent, loving, loyal, and absolutely hilarious. It’s actually helped me see more things from my child’s perspective. I often think, well, Mother is very practically-minded and chill about all this, I can do that too.[/quote]
