Her mother arranged with the State Library to have books sent to Yamhill and acted as librarian in a lodge room upstairs over a bank. There young Beverly learned to love books. However, when the family moved to Portland, Beverly soon found herself in the grammar school’s low reading circle, an experience that has given her sympathy for the problems of struggling readers. By the third grade she had conquered reading and spent much of her childhood either with books or on her way to and from the public library....

She spent her early years on her father's farm in nearby Yamhill. But she later grew up in Portland, Oregon during the Depression. Tiring of the rainy climate and an overprotective mother, she moved to Southern California at a young age. Two years later, she transferred to the University of California, Berkeley. It was there that she met her husband, Clarence Cleary, during her junior year. Before they married in 1940, Beverly studied librarianship at the University of Washington in Seattle, and held the position of children's librarian in rural Yakima, Washington. Although she had wanted to write for children since childhood, her writing was confined to letters and school assignments until she was in her early thirties. At that point she found herself with some spare time and a comfortable place to write. The outcome was Henry Huggins , which was accepted in 1950 by the first publisher who read it.

HOME "Beverly Cleary's Childhood Memories Make Great Children's Stories" By Barbara Smith They have immortalized few fictional characters in bronze and few authors have been honored with their on sculpture garden. Yet, characters from Beverly Cleary's beloved series of children's books gleefully "romp" in Grant Park in Portland. "Ramona Quimby," the whimsical scamp joins "Henry Huggins" and his dog "Ribsy," other series' characters, in the new Beverly Cleary Sculpture Garden for Children, which opened in October 13, 1995. The sculptor, Lee Hunt also presented the Gresham Regional Library with two terra cotta busts of "Ramona": one smiling smugly, and one frowning angrily. At both occasions, Beverly Cleary greeted old and new fans. For forty-five years Beverly Cleary has written winsome books for young readers; books well-received by both readers and critics. Her approach has been to been to write not what children ought to read about, but what they want to read about. As a reluctant reader herself, she has described a strategy to encourage young readers: "Although children long for laughter, too often . . . adults feel the purpose of any book is to teach . . . Children would learn so much more if they were allowed to relax, enjoy a story, and discover what it is they want or need from books. They might even learn to enjoy reading, especially if they found in the early grades humorous books that make them laugh." (

No More Bob's and Susie's: The Influence of the Child-like Mind on One Visual and Verbal Prodigy EDP 380, FALL, 1997 L. MACKENZIE COHEN Outline I. Introductiondescription of the state of the domain of children's literature II. Meet Beverly Cleary, visual and verbal prodigyhighlighted by her child-like mind III. Thesis IV. Characteristics of Child-like Mind: A. Being a serious child and a playful adult equals success B. Spontaneous, imaginative mind that identifies with kids and their emotions 1. Playful and real 2. Uses kids' language and humor 3. Captures true emotions like horror C. Adapts successfully: 1. How she adapted 2. Why it was important V. Conclusion "Bob lived on a big farm. Everyone has to learn to work on a big farm. Bob helped his father with the work. He learned to help with the corn. He learned to look after the chickens and the sheep and the cows. He learned always to shut the gate to the pasture where Tony, the big black bull, lived" (Dolch 1). In the late 1940's and early 1950's, post-World War II, there was a shift back to domestic interests. Both libraries and bookstores were increasing in frequency and popularity, attracting education-minded families on the weekends and after school. However, children visited these institutions often to find merely stuffy stories about prim and proper children without any realistic emotions. "Where are the books about kids like us?" one librarian recalls being asked repeatedly. There simply were none. Hungry minds looking for empathy and adventure found emptiness; anyone not bored by Bob's story, found in a 1954 children's anthology, probably wished him to be mauled by Tony, the big black bull. Kids were often left with moral-laden Little Golden Books such as the 1950 edition of

Beverly Cleary Dear Mr. Henshaw A novel by Beverly Cleary Awards Newbery Medal by Beverly Cleary When, in second grade, Leigh writes to an author to tell him how much he "licked" his book, he never suspects that he'll still be writing to him four years later. And he never imagines the kinds of things he'll be writing about: Dear Mr. Henshaw, I am sorry I was rude in my last letter... Maybe I was mad about other things, like Dad forgetting to send this month's support payment. Mom tried to phone him at the trailer park where, as Mom says, he hangs his hat. It's not easy being the new kid in town, with recently divorced parents, no dog anymore, and a lunch that gets stolen every day (all the "good stuff," anyway). Writing letters, first to the real Mr. Henshaw, and then in a diary to a pretend Mr. Henshaw, may be just what he needs.
