These books are special to me and to so many people who grew up with them. I revere Beverly Cleary for the way she could get into a child's head and communicate it on the page.
Along with her words, I remember the illustrations of Louis Darling
This last pic is how I see Beezus and Ramona in my bookish mind. Wasn't Beezus written over and over as a gawky, awkward pizzaface (i.e., zits)?
And if that's supposed to be Henry Huggins acting somewhat lovey toward Beezus in the trailer, that's just all sorts of wrong.
This is why I don't see movies adapted from books I love -- always disappointing. Yes, I know I'm passing judgment based on scant information, but I don't care. I'll keep Beezus, Ramona and Henry in my head right where Beverly Cleary and Louis Darling left them, thank you very much.
