Beverly Cleary Died

First, if you’re like me, the very first thing you’ll think is, “wait... she was still alive?”

She was! 104 years old!

I grew up reading the crap out of the Henry Huggins books, Mouse and the Motorcycle, and the Ramona and Beezus books.

104 is a hell of a run though! I thought she had died like 20 years ago

    Beverly Cleary shaped my childhood in a big way. The Mouse and the Motorcycle was one of my favorites. That fuckin’ ping pong ball helmet is a detail that has stuck with me for like 35 years.

    Need to buy some Cleary for my nieces this year.

    For years I thought that you couldn’t bring any outside food into hotels because I remember that was something that happened in the Mouse and the Motorcycle

    Beverly Cleary wrote 42 books in 49 years and her writing career still didn't make up most of her life. Wild.
