The Beverly Cleary Quiz.

I got nine right, out of eleven. 

In my defense, I got all of the questions about the Ramona books right, as well as the one about Beverly Cleary herself.  It's time to revisit old Otis Spofford, but I still refuse to have anything to do with the movie.

Yay, 10 out of 11! I missed the Otis Spofford question too. And I must admit the who's-in-the-movie answer was a lucky guess.

9 out of 11 too. I missed Otis and Henry. Honestly I haven't read Otis Spofford, and I have read the Ribsy and the Roast chapter of Henry & Beezus 5 or 7 times while teaching third grade, but only read the whole book once. The Ramona ones were easy. I got the movie one because I saw an ad last week. Although the embarrassing moment one threw me. I totally remembered the egg, but I couldn't remember if it was the love letter or the other one. One of my favorite parts ever is when she wears her PJs under her clothes to school. And when she leaves late for school because she knows a quarter is 25 cents. And when she and Howie fall in the bluing. And when she squeezes the toothpaste into the sink. Man, I have to read those books again!

100%! I feel a special kinship with Ms. Cleary because my daughter was born on her birthday. I got Cher; the Munchkin gets Beverly Cleary. NO FAIR.

My cats are named Henry and Beezus. You bet your tuchus I scored 100%. I had one moment of weakness when I forgot Mr. Cardoza's significance in the series, but I recovered swiftly.

Thanks for posting this. I loved the Judy Blume quiz and am so glad Mental Floss did another one.
