My favorite of her books is Fifteen, which I read multiple times - and for a slow, reluctant reader, that's saying a lot! I still have my original copy, which I came to realize I "permanently borrowed" from the library. Here it is - along with the remnants of the little check-out card envelope! OOPS!
Birthday Cogitation
Today I had to
cogitate
to write a poem
that’s worth the wait.
It had to have a
special theme;
a topic worthy of a
meme.
It came to me, so
very clearly
an author whom we all
love dearly!
That’s right – Ms.
Cleary – the one and only,
who kept this kid from being lonely!
Today she’s reached
100 years!
So we should give 100
cheers!
HIP HIP HOORAY!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
BEVERLY CLEARY!!
