" Beverly Cleary has given books to each member of the Quimby household except Mrs. Quimby.

Now she gets her turn at last in a story that hits the high and low points of a working mother's life as seen from Ramona's seven-and-a-half-year-old viewpoint. Inevitably domestic tensions, not without their amusing side, occasionally arise.

Mr. and Mrs.

Quimby sometimes forget who is to do what, as when the Crock-Pot is not plugged in and dinner remains uncooked. Beezus acquires a ludicrous teased hairdo at the student body shop while Ramona gets a becoming pixie haircut.

Ramona, who feels unloved, takes to twitching her nose like a rabbit in a cozy picture book until her teacher becomes concerned that something is making her nervous. Yet Ramona is wrong.

She "is" loved, and readers will rejoice with her when she discovers the wonderful truth. Few writers today are as skilled as Mrs.

Cleary at showing families in the round, and here she is at the peak of her powers. About the Author : Beverly Cleary has contributed to Ramona and Her Mother as an author.

Beverly Cleary was born in McMinnville, Oregon, and until she was old enough to attend school she lived on a farm in Yamhill, a town so small it had no library. Her mother arranged to have books sent to their tiny town from the state library and acted as a librarian in a room over a bank.

It was there that Mrs. Cleary learned to love books.
