Item description from seller

Inscribed first edition of the second book in Cleary's beloved series, the first to feature Ramona Quimby as the main protagonist. Ramona Quimby first appeared as a minor side character in Cleary's HENRY HUGGINS (1950), eventually growing into a protagonist capable of sustaining her own decades-spanning series. PEST follows Ramona through the highs and the lows of kindergarten - getting to ride the bus like big sister Beezus, impressing her teacher with perfect Qs, getting benched during recess, the horrors of a substitute. Will Ramona triumph? Or will she, tragically, end up a Kindergarten Dropout? 8'' x 5.75''. Original red textured paper boards with black-stamped titles to spine and illustration to front board. In original unclipped ($3.95) color pictorial dust jacket. With black-and-white illustrations by Louise Darling. 192 pages. Inscribed by Cleary in blue ink to half-title: "To Mae with love. / Beverly." Book with trace shelfwear, small bump to lower spine, light foxing to top edge. Jacket with light marginal toning, spine sunned. Crisp. Very good plus in very good jacket.…
