“The Art of Ramona Quimby” captures the essence of the lovable rascal that is Ramona Quimby, while taking the reader on an entertaining visual journey through the series and through time. Katz’s book will be loved by those who already love Ramona, and is a good reminder to those who haven’t thought about her for a while that even at 65, she is still relevant.” - Lizzy Acker, The Oregonian

“The young heroine of Beverly Cleary’s classic series has such a big personality that it’s taken five artists to draw her over the years…the perfect gift for not-so-little ones looking for nostalgia.” - R.S., Yahoo! Entertainment

“Author Anna Katz explores the evolution of Ramona through the years by examining the ways the five illustrators interpreted this unlikely heroine with pen and ink… Adult readers who encountered the series as children may find themselves drawn to the illustrations they recall from their youth. but whether in the hands of Louis Darling, Tracy Dockray, Joanne Scribner, or Alan Tiegreen, Ramona emerges as effervescent and scrappy, wholly embodying the spectrum of human emotion.” - Barbara Basbanes Richter, Fine Books & Collections
