Today I learned of the death of one of my favorite authors. Beverly Cleary died at the ripe age of 104. After working as a child librarian, she decided to write some books for children that were more entertaining. She wrote dozens of children's books including books about Beaver Cleaver that was made into a television series. My favorite characters of hers were Ramona and Beezus Quimby. I loved the adventures of Ramona and Beezus. Like Beezus, I knew what it was like to have a younger sister that sometimes got on my nerves. Rest in peace Beverly Cleary.
