Walking with Ramona explores the streets, schools, characters, and neighborhoods of author Beverly Cleary's Portland.

You'll see the grocery parking lot where Ramona got stuck in the mud, the park lawn where Henry Huggins hunted nightcrawlers, and the real Portland street that became Klickitat Street, their fictional home. Beverly Cleary's Portland was much different than the Portlandia of today.Walking with Ramona brings to life what that 1920s and 1930s Portland was like for the “girl from Yamhill who went on to become an internationally beloved author. Characters like Ramona and Beezus, Henry and Ribsy, and Ellen and Austine come to life on this hour-long walking route through the Northeast Portland neighborhood where Beverly grew up. An almost 3-mile walk or bike ride around Northeast Portland, plus other Oregon destinations.

The title should be Walking with Beverly Cleary because most of the book is about Beverly and her life in Portland. I was hoping for more references to Ramona and her friends and the sites where their lives took place. Otherwise--a great glimpse into Portland during the years Beverly lived there.
