Yes, I read most of Beverly Cleary's works. I liked Henry Huggins better - Ramona always struck me as needing a spank.

I read Beezus and Ramona first, and in that one I found Ramona more sympathetic because I was closer to her age at the time than to Beezus. I think I read a couple Henry Huggins books later--I remember a scene where his friend was walking around with a balloon tied to his beanie or something like that.

Heh, that's what I always thought about Eustace in "Voyage of the Dawn Treader"! He was better in "The Silver Chair".
