Some of my favorites

As a kid, I loved reading books by Judy Blume and Beverly Cleary. Superfudge and Ramona and Her Mother were and still are two of my favorites. I think that these two authors do a wonderful job at making you feel like you are a part of the story - you can make connections to their characters and create pictures in your mind as the events happen.  I love when Fudge does things to irritate his big brother Peter! It reminds me of my little brother and how he sometimes made me mad! When Ramona squeezes an entire tube of toothpaste into the sink, I just have to laugh out loud! We have a display of books by these two authors in ourr library next to the door of the Kiva. Check them out - you will be glad you tried these fabulous examples of realistic fiction!
