Walking with Ramona<\/em> explores the streets, schools, characters, and neighborhoods of author Beverly Cleary\u2019s Portland. With this newest and most unusual Portland guidebook, readers can walk the very sidewalks Beverly walked and climb the very school steps that Beverly climbed. You’ll see the grocery parking lot where Ramona got stuck in the mud, the park lawn where Henry Huggins hunted nightcrawlers, and the real Portland street that became Klickitat Street, their fictional home. Beverly Cleary\u2019s Portland was much different than the Portlandia of today. Walking with Ramona<\/em> brings to life what that 1920s and 1930s Portland was like for the \u201cgirl from Yamhill\u201d who went on to become an internationally beloved author. Characters like Ramona and Beezus, Henry and Ribsy, and Ellen and Austine come to life on this hour-long walking route through the Northeast Portland neighborhood where Beverly grew up.<\/p>\n

The book features an approximately three mile walk (or bike ride!) around Northeast Portland, plus other Oregon destinations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
