Mistakes
Submitted by admin on Thu, 10/22/2009 - 9:01am
The Ramona books are enjoyable, “real” stories that show an imperfect girl’s interaction with her world. In this one, third grade Ramona navigates school and home concerns. She fears being a bother to her teacher, has some embarrassing incidents at school, and wrestles with her responsibilities for keeping her family OK (by behaving at the Kemp’s house).
This book, as all Ramona books do, gives us a girl’s perspective on the world and her place in the family. It brings forth and resolves common childhood worries. An important point to note is that the Ramona books can give parents an idea of how children might be processing the world around them so we can relieve their worries.
