Kirkus writes "Cleary's pipeline to childhood as faithful as ever... Ramona's friends will be gratified to see her coming along, and even her lapses remain endearing." Alexandra Gomez of the NY Public Library, speaking of the Spanish translation of the book, says Ramona, "in her own inimitable and highly entertaining way, tries to understand the world around her and overcome the difficult situations in her life... In any language, children will relate to this winning heroine." Finally, another reviewer praises the author's humor and sensitivity. "In this amusing and heartwarming Ramona… Beverly Cleary continues her story of Ramona, the little girl who is always full of surprises. Growing up… can be difficult. Beverly Cleary addresses this issue with humor and sensitivity, helping children to understand that they are not alone when they feel left out."
