Extractions: 15 March 1999 Beverly Cleary has written stories that have amused children and adults for almost fifty years. In the course of her career, Cleary has created some of the most memorable characters in children's literature, including Ramona Quimby, Ralph S. Mouse, and Henry Huggins. A list of the awards and honors she has earned fills two pages in the reference volumes Something about the Author. These awards include the John Newbery Medal (for the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children) for her 1983 novel Dear Mr. Henshaw, and the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award (for substantial and lasting contributions to children's literature) in 1975. I chose to write about Beverly Cleary not because of her critical acclaim, however, but because she writes stories that my own children (and, to be perfectly honest, I myself) love to read.

Extractions: http://www.teleport.com/~krp/cleary.html Autobiographical sketch written for the Eighth Book of Junior Authors and Illustrators, 2000: "When I was a little girl named Beverly Bunn, I lived on a farm outside of Yamhill, Oregon, where I followed my mother around pleading, 'Tell me a story. Tell me a story.' Finally, because she was worn out by my whining and because she was lonely for books herself, she started a small library in a lodge room upstairs over a bank. 'There is entirely too much gossip in Yamhill,' she said. 'People should read.' Books shipped from the State Library were shelved in a donated china cabinet. Saturday afternoons Mother acted as librarian while I sat in a slippery leather chair listening to the patrons' unstoppable gossip and looking forward to evening when Mother would read to me from one of these books. More English Fairy Tales edited by Joseph Jacobs was my favorite. "When I was six years old we moved to Portland where I was awed by the beauty of the downtown public library and stunned by the size of the boys and girls room. Shelves and shelves of books, all for children! (I would have been even more stunned if I had known that room would someday bear my name.) Every two weeks Mother and I traveled by streetcar to the library for books.

Extractions: How could such a thing happen? Why, her mother used to be a school teacher and had been surrounding her with books and reading since she'd been an infant. In fact, her mom had opened the first library in the little farm community they used to live in. She'd always told the girl that school was wonderful and so were books and reading.

Extractions: By Barbara Smith They have immortalized few fictional characters in bronze and few authors have been honored with their on sculpture garden. Yet, characters from Beverly Cleary's beloved series of children's books gleefully "romp" in Grant Park in Portland. "Ramona Quimby," the whimsical scamp joins "Henry Huggins" and his dog "Ribsy," other series' characters, in the new Beverly Cleary Sculpture Garden for Children, which opened in October 13, 1995. The sculptor, Lee Hunt also presented the Gresham Regional Library with two terra cotta busts of "Ramona": one smiling smugly, and one frowning angrily. At both occasions, Beverly Cleary greeted old and new fans. For forty-five years Beverly Cleary has written winsome books for young readers; books well-received by both readers and critics. Her approach has been to been to write not what children ought to read about, but what they want to read about. As a reluctant reader herself, she has described a strategy to encourage young readers: "Although children long for laughter, too often . . . adults feel the purpose of any book is to teach . . . Children would learn so much more if they were allowed to relax, enjoy a story, and discover what it is they want or need from books. They might even learn to enjoy reading, especially if they found in the early grades humorous books that make them laugh." (

Extractions: I can see Cleary now INTERVIEW BY MIRIAM DRENNAN We haven't read any new Ramona Quimby adventures in about 15 years, but she is back, and she is more fun than ever. Ramona's World finds Ramona entering the fourth grade, longing for a best girlfriend, and still being happily disgusted by Yard Ape. BookPage had the delightful opportunity to talk to Newbery Medalist Beverly Cleary about her writing, her life, and her beloved Ramona Geraldine Quimby. Cleary became interested in writing for children because reading meant so much to her as a child. "I was a great reader of fairy tales. I tried to read the entire fairy tale section of the library: Andrew Lang's Blue Fairy Book, Red Fairy Book, and so on, probably down to the Puce or Chartreuse fairy tales," she laughs. These days, Cleary reads biographies and some fiction by English women writers. Ramona was first introduced to readers in the 1950s as a peripheral character (Cleary interjects "a nuisance") in the Henry Huggins books. Had she visualized developing Ramona's character, or did Ramona take on a life of her own? "Well, I didn't visualize anything more about Ramona. In fact, she was an accidental character. It occurred to me that as I wrote, all of these children appeared to be only children, so I tossed in a little sister, and at that time, we had a neighbor named Ramona. I heard somebody call out, 'Ramona!' so I just named her Ramona."
