Her mother had to have books shipped to their home. Beverly loved books. However, when she moved to Portland for school she found that she was behind the other students in her reading abilities. When she ended up in the lowest reading group she decided she was going to spend more time reading. So when she wasn't at school she was at the library. By third grade her reading abilities had improved immensely. Her librarian suggested she write books when she got older. Beverly liked the idea and decided she would do just that. ]]> 2017-04-17 03:15:32 UTC https://padlet.com/slasky19/6c2fsm8q3ze1/wish/166498122 slasky19 https://padlet.com/slasky19/6c2fsm8q3ze1/wish/166498649

• She tends to write realistic fiction or fantasy books
• She uses her childhood experiences to create the stories she writes.
• She created lovable characters such as Henry Huggins and Ramona and Beezus Quimby that children will be able to identify with. Then she creates a huge range of adventures and stories revolving around these characters.
• She has a very humorous writing style. It doesn't matter how old you are it is likely that you will find yourself laughing while reading any of her books.

She never wrote to really teach anything. She simply wanted to write books that would get children interested in reading. ]]> 2017-04-18 13:15:56 UTC https://padlet.com/slasky19/6c2fsm8q3ze1/wish/166745486 slasky19 https://padlet.com/slasky19/6c2fsm8q3ze1/wish/166748286 2017-04-18 13:24:50 UTC https://padlet.com/slasky19/6c2fsm8q3ze1/wish/166748286 slasky19 https://padlet.com/slasky19/6c2fsm8q3ze1/wish/166751818 2017-04-18 13:35:25 UTC https://padlet.com/slasky19/6c2fsm8q3ze1/wish/166751818 slasky19 https://padlet.com/slasky19/6c2fsm8q3ze1/wish/166752346 2017-04-18 13:37:07 UTC https://padlet.com/slasky19/6c2fsm8q3ze1/wish/166752346
