How are you celebrating Beverly Cleary's 100th Birthday?

Yes, she is still alive, and her books still enchant every new generation of readers.

Happy Birthday, Beverly Cleary!

Ramona, Henry, Ribsy, and all the rest of your characters, and readers, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

But I do remember reading one or two of her books, being blown away, and remembering her name. I must have been REALLY young. Thanks for the thread.
