Reviews"The true pleasure of this retrospective is that it highlights key moments from the books, in chronological order, and compares the various illustrators' ways of depicting them. 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, "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, "The true pleasure of this retrospective is that it highlights key moments from the books, in chronological order, and compares the various illustrators' ways of depicting them.
