Beezus and Ramona
　　A little sister goes a long way.

　　Big sister Beezus Quimby tries to be patient with her little sister, Ramona, but it isnt easy, not when Ramona powders her nose with marshmallows and invites her class to a party without telling her family. Sometimes Beezus doesnt like Ramona, but the girls are sisters and that means they will always love each other—just not every single minute.

　　Ramona the Pest

　　Ramona is off to kindergarten, and its the greatest day of her life. So why is she sitting on the bench while the rest of the students play the game gray duck? Laughs and minor upsets abound in an enormously popular story starring the one and only Ramona Quimby!

　　Ramona the Brave

　　Ramona is happy to have a new bedroom all to herself—during the day, at least. It’s not as easy to be brave when there might be ghostly, boneless gorillas oozing under the door at night. Then there is the big, mean dog that steals Ramona’s shoe on her way to school. Any other first grader might be frightened. But it’s going to take more than monsters and dogs to scare this fearless first grader!

　　Ramona and Her Father

　　Ramona just wants everyone to be happy. If only her father would smile and joke again, her mother would look less worried, her sister would be cheerful, and Picky-picky would eat his cat-food. But Ramonas father has lost his job, and nobody in the Quimby household is in a very good mood.

　　Ramona tries to cheer up the family as only Ramona can -- by rehearsing for life as a rich and famous star of television commercials, for instance -- but her best efforts only make things worse. Her sister, Beezus, calls her a, pest, her parents lose patience with her, and her teacher claims shes forgotten her- manners. But when her father admits he wouldnt trade her for a million dollars, Ramona knows everything is going to work out fine in the end.
