"I don't like to brag, but I can hum and whistle at the same time. Also, I've lived near Beverly Cleary's childhood home for many years. And yet even I found Laura O. Foster's Walking with Ramona to be hugely impressive, absolutely enriching, and downright inspiring. Kudos to Laura for writing a book that would make Ramona proud!" - Bart King, The Big Book of Boy Stuff and The Big Book of Girl Stuff. "Ramona would be amazed by this book! I love seeing where she lived and learned." Ginnie Cooper, former Multnomah County Librarian and resident of Klickitat Street. "Beverly Cleary's Portalnd was much different than the Portlandia of today. Walking with Ramona brings to life what 1920s and 1930s Oregon was like for "the girl from Yamhill" who grew up to become an internationally beloved author. In the book's walking tour, you'll walk the very sidewalks walked by Beverly and her characters Ramona and Beezus, Henry and Ribsy, and Ellen and Austine. You'll climb the school steps they climbed, see the houses where Beverly lived, and the parks and streets where she and her characters had their adventures. Afterwards, shop, eat and drink at Beverly's old stomping grounds, the Hollywood district, then go further afield and discover more stories and places of Beverly Cleary's Oregon." - from the rear outer cover.
