We see the same sequence drawn in different eras (with different fashions and hairstyles); we see varying unscripted reactions on the characters’ faces, and a wide range of demeanors. We see situations from different angles and perspectives.” — the New York Times “This fascinating book presents scenes from the Beezus and Ramona books and then shows how each artist interpreted them. With this book you can relive your favorite Ramona moments and get a lesson in art appreciation at the same time.” — Minneapolis Star-Tribune “Chances are, if you ask a Beverley Cleary fan to picture Ramona Quimby, they’ve got a strong image in mind. Well, their Ramona may be different than mine, and that’s perfectly fine! There have been no fewer than five major illustrators over the course of our beloved heroine’s 65-year reign—from Louis Darling’s elegant ink drawings to Tracy Dockray’s flat gray-shaded cartoons—and their diversity reemphasizes the timelessness of the stories. Featuring full-color illustrations and insightful essays by Annie Barrows and Jacqueline Rogers, The Art of Ramona Quimby is a must-have for fans of all stripes.” — Kirkus Reviews About the Author Anna Katz is a writer based in Seattle.
