Ramona the Pest Book

I read this book out loud with my middle child - the (currently) 5 year old Gwennie.

So Gwennie, what did you think?

Gwennie: Great?

Dad: How many stars should I give it?

G: Uhhhhhh... 4!

D: Why 4?

G: Uhhh... 4! 4.4.4. Because I liked it a little.

D: What did you like about it?

G: I liked abouuuuuuut it. When she. Uh... Kindergarten Drop-Out.

D: That was your favorite part?

*Gwennie nods*

D: Tell me about something that happened in the book, but it can't be something that happened today?

G: What? What did you say? I don't remember what you said. Said. Said. Said. Said. G. W. E. N. That spells Gwen.

D: Gwennie, this is what I said: tell me about something that happened in the book, but it can't be something that happened today.

G: When her tooth fell out.

D: Where did that happen?

G: It happened ooooonnnnnnn... chapter 7?

D: But where? Where was she?

G: Oh. She was at school.

D: Yesterday you told me your favorite part was something else. Do you remember what you told me yesterday?

G: I don't remember. What did I told you yesterday? Blah. Blah blah blah blah... (etc. ad infinitum)

D: Here's a hint: "I'm the..."

G: OH YES! THE BADDEST WITCH IN THE WORLD!!!!!

D: Did you like that part?

G: Oh yes. I LOVED that part!!! Even more than you, I loved that part.

D: Do you mean that you loved that part more than I loved that part, or do you mean you love that part more than you love me?

G: I don't know? What? Oh. Oh oh oh... I loved the part more than you loved the part.

D: Do you love the Ramona book more than you love your dad?

G: *Laughs* No. I love you more, Daddy.

D: *Smiles*

G: *Starts singing a mix of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, the Alphabet song and Frozen songs.

D: Is there anything else I should add to this review?

G: You should add Gwennie, Gwennie, Gwennie, Gwennie.

D: I mean, why should people read this book?

G: ...Because it's good?

D: Good enough for me.
