Description: Ramona the Pest, by Beverly Cleary, is the second book of the Ramona series and the first to focus on Ramona Quimby as the protagonist. This children's book chronicles the adventures of Ramona's first few months at kindergarten. The book's title is derived from the characterization of Ramona as a "pest" by many, including her older sister Beatrice, known as "Beezus." Ramona the Pest was first published in 1968 and featured illustrations by Louis Darling. In 2012 it was ranked number 24 on a list of the top 100 children's novels published by School Library Journal. ---------- Also included in: - [Best of Ramona](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL20587275W) - [Trouble with Ramona and Beezus](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL17377136W)
