Beverly Cleary is 100 today!

Winner of the Newbery and National Book Award, and named a Living Legend in 2000 by the Library of Congress, Beverly Cleary's books include...








Check out this lovely interview/profile with Beverly here.

Happy Birthday, Beverly! And thank you for the books, your gift to all of us.

p.s. - my favorite Beverly Cleary book? The Mouse and The Motorcycle. What's yours?
