Happy Birthday Beverly Cleary (3 Days Late)


Beverly Cleary turned 90 on Wednesday.
Turning 90 is an accomplishment for anyone. Turing 90 and still being able to hold children enthrall is a major accomplishment.

Henry Huggins was published in 1950, her last book Ramona’s World appeared in 2001. Three generations of children have loved her books. Now there’s a legacy!

I love this picture, and I LOVE Ramona Quimby. Remember when she cracked the egg on her head? Hi-larious!
