However, I didn’t realize just how great a writer she was until I reread her books as an adult. So, yeah, Beverly Cleary: great writer, as certified by 10-year-old me. ![]() I still want to make Fong Quock’s rice “so that each grain was separate and fluffy and there was a crisp brown crust on the bottom of the kettle,” I still want to know how Emily’s crust rose through her custard pie for the church potluck, and I still really, really want to squeeze an entire tube of toothpaste into the bathroom sink. I read most of them multiple times, and certain, VERY IMPORTANT aspects of those books have stuck with me for life. I read every single one of her books growing up - even the lesser-discussed ones like Otis Spofford and Ellen Tebbits with all the angst over something called “long underwear” that was mystifying to me as a kid in the 80s. I always knew Beverly Cleary was a great writer. ![]()
