English 240 - Contemporary Children's Literature Fall 1999 Beverly Cleary Cleary's Life Muggie Maggie LIFE Beverly Bunn was born on an Oregon farm in 1916, but the family subsequently moved to Portland, where she grew up, experiencing the Depression during her teenage years. Although she loved reading, she was initially assigned to the poor-readers’ group when she began attending school; a part of the problem, Jim Trelease writes , was that she found the classroom reading matter “so dreadfully dull.” She was influenced to read again when she encountered a series of books about twins from different countries that actually had a story. She moved to California to attend college and met her future husband while attending the University of California at Berkeley. She then returned north, studying to be a librarian at the University of Washington, before being married in 1940. While working as a librarian and earlier in her life, Cleary had wondered at why so many children’s books presented a child’s life differently from the way she experienced it. She wanted books that spoke about ordinary children’s lives, and in 1950 wrote and published Henry Huggins , an attempt to do just that; the book was a success and started her on a writing career that has led to more than 30 books in the past half century.

Beverly Cleary Researcher: Christen Shaw Beverly Bunn was born in McMinnville, Oregon on April 12, 1916. She spent her early childhood on a farm in Yamhill, Oregon, a town so small it didn't even have a library. Beverly's love for books began when her mother made an agreement with the State Library to have books sent to their town and to act as the local librarian. Beverly's family moved to Portland, Oregon when she was old enough to attend school. She had trouble reading, and found herself in the low reading group in her class. However, she worked hard and conquered the problem by the time she was in third grade. Since then, she has always been sympathetic towards children who have difficulty reading. In 1934 she moved to California and attended college, where she met her husband, Clarence Cleary. She graduated junior college in Ontario, California and the University of California Berkeley. She continued her education at the School of Librarianship at the University of Washington in Seattle. When she began working as a librarian as the children's librarian in Yakima, Washington in 1940, she found more inspiration in the children she met. She wanted to write books to which these kids could relate. She continued to work there until she and her husband moved back to California.

Strider Beverly Cleary author Beverly Cleary, 90, is the beloved author of more than 30 books, including Ramona Quimby, Age 8; Dear Mr. Henshaw; The Mouse and the Motorcycle; and Henry Huggins . Ramona first appeared as a character in the 1950s. The most recent Ramona book, Ramona's World, was published in 1999. Authors and Illustrators home RIF: You had difficulty learning to read as a child. How did you overcome that? Beverly Cleary: I had a very wise mother. She always kept books that were my grade level in our house. One rainy afternoon I picked up a book to look at the pictures and realized I was reading and enjoying what I read. RIF: Did you read aloud to your children (fraternal twins)? Did they read your books? BC: Yes, I did read aloud to them. When I was a child, there was no TV and not everyone had a radio, so my mother read to us. When I was a mother, I was surrounded by distractions. But with twins, reading aloud to them was the only chance I could get to sit down. They loved being read to. I read them picture books until they were reading on their own. I had read them my books aloud before they were published. Other than that, I really don’t know if they read them or not.
