Ramona and her Father by Beverly Cleary

Another successful read-aloud of Ramona with Graham and Lucy. They both love it and were so excited to go on to the next one together. It's interesting how some of the things in this book feel so dated--like how her dad is a smoker (I don't know that anyone would have a dad who smokes in a children's book any more) and it is crazy and kind of sad that her dad finally gets a job as a checker at the grocery store and it's the best news that they've gotten all year. Nowadays that would not be enough to support his family.
