In this touching and funny story, the ebullient Ramona, feeling brave and grown-up, enters first grade.

Enraged whenSusan copies her wise old owl prepared for Parents' Night and receives praise for it, Ramona rebels. Overcome by guilt andno longer brave, she tries mightily thereafter to please her teacher, but still Mrs. Griggs infuriatingly reports home thatRamona lacks self-control. Only because she is a girl with spunk, to use her father's word, does Ramona's courage return,earning her at last an uneasy truce with the teacher.Beverly Cleary draws here a portrait of a little girl discovering withastonishment that the way others see her is not always the way she sees herself.
