Children’s Author Beverly Cleary is 92

Apr 13 2008

I would have posted this on Beverly Cleary’s actual birthday (April 12) had I read this post earlier. Despite my lateness in my birthday wishes, I still feel it is appropriate to pay homage to an author that got me hooked on reading at a very early age.

Who can forget the innocent adventures of Ramona Quimby or the more mature Henry Huggins and his dog, Ribsy? I remember these characters more vividly than anything I ever watched on television when I was a kid and I can’t help but think they played a big role in developing my love for literature.

Happy Birthday!

What books did you read as a kid and how did they influence you?

P.S. Leave a comment on this post (or any other post during April) and you can win a $30 Amazon gift card! Don’t be shy! Make sure you read my simple contest rules, and of course, have fun!
