Ramona and Her Father (Audio Book): By Beverly Cleary

This book tells the story of Ramona and how she navigates changes in her home when her father loses his job.  Ramona struggles to fit in and her thinking outside the box causes many adults to be frustrated by her thinking.  I really like this book because it shows how Ramona learned how to retain her creativity and personality but learns how to think before she acts and pay attention to how it might affect others.  

I am not sure if I would use this audiobook in my classroom. I personally found it very hard to listen too and it seemed rather monotone.  If I am wanting my students to listen to a book being read, I want them to hear it will the stress on words and I want them to learn how to be enthusiastic readers.
