Ramona and Her Mother / Beezus and Ramona / Ramona and Her Father / The Mouse and the Motorcycle (Ramona, #1, #4, #5)

This wonderful Ramona Box Set, by Beverly Cleary, contains four books: The Mouse and the Motorcycle, Ramona and Her Father, Beezus and Ramona, and Ramona and Her Father. The Mouse and the Motorcycle:Ralph only wanted to ride the mouse-sized motorcycle someone had left on the table in the hotel room where Ralph lived. Instead, both Ralph and the motorcycle take a terrible fall into the wastepaper basket, where they are trapped until Keith, the owner of the motorcycle, rescues them. Keith teaches Ralph to ride the motorcycle, and the two of them soon find out that adventures can be both fun and dangerous! Ramona and Her Father:In this Newbery Honor Book, the whole family is grumpy when Mr. Quimby loses his job. Ramona keeps trying to cheer up the her family, but every new idea seems to cause more trouble. Her sister and parents, even her teacher, seem to have lost their patience with Ramona. But when her father tells her he wouldn't take her for a million dollars, Ramona knows everything will be okay. Beezus and Ramona:Beezus tries very hard to be patient with her little sister, but four-your-old Ramona has a habit of doing the most unpredictable, annoying, embarrassing things in the world. Sometimes Beezus doesn't like Ramona much, and that makes her feel guilty. Sisters are supposed to love each other, but pesky little Ramona doesn't seem very lovable to Beezus right now. Ramona and Her Mother:When Ramona's mother takes on a full-time job, there's trouble in the Quimby household. Seven-and-a-half-year old Ramona feels unloved and starts twitching her nose like a rabbit, until her teacher becomes concerned.
