Beverly Cleary is an American children's author.
'''Beverly Atlee Cleary''', née '''Bunn''' (April 12, 1916 – March 25, 2021), was an American children's author.
 
Her largest and best-known collection of books (too loose-knit to be really a "series", although there is a chronological order) involves a group of children that includes Henry Huggins (and his dog Ribsy), Henry's friend Beatrice "Beezus" Quimby and her little sister Ramona, and Ramona's friend Howie Kemp. [[Ramona Quimby|Ramona]] is the break-out star character of the series. They were adapted into a TV series in the 1980s (called ''[[Ramona Quimby (TV series)|Ramona Quimby]]''), and a movie (called ''[[Ramona and Beezus (film)|Ramona and Beezus]]'') was released in 2010.
 
Another well-known series by Beverly Cleary begins with ''[[The Mouse and the Motorcycle]]'', about a mouse who befriends a lonely boy and discovers a useful but never-quite-explained ability to [[Surprisingly Functional Toys|drive toy vehicles as if they were real]].
