Ramona and Her Father

Ramona wants everyone to be happy. If only her father would smile and joke again, her mother would look less wor- ried, her sister would be more cheerful, and Picky-picky would eat his cat food. But Ramona's father has lost his job, and nobody is in a very good mood. Ramona decides to cheer her family up — as only Ramona can. But her best efforts only seem to make things worse. Her sister calls her a pest and her parents lose patience with her. It all seems hopeless. But when her father says he wouldn't trade her for a million dollars, Ramona knows that everything is going to work out fine in the end. --back cover
