I read. I will compare and contrast “Pepita Talks Twice,” by Ofelia Dumas Lachtman and

“Ramona Quimby Age 8,” by Beverly Cleary.

There are some similarities in these two stories. Both are about girls who learn lessons. First of all, both girls are stubborn. Both girls hope for things.Both girls try new things.

Although both stories have a lot of similarities there are specific differences. In “Pepita Talks Twice,” Pepita tries not to be noticed. In “Ramona Quimby Age 8,” Ramona tries to be noticed. In “Pepita Talks Twice,” Pepita has a dog named Lobo. In “Ramona Quimby Age 8,” Ramona has a cat named Picky picky. In “Pepita Talks Twice,” Pepita has a brother. In “Ramona Quimby Age 8,” Ramona has a sister.

In conclusion both stories were very exiting to read. I enjoyed how both of the girls were sassy and willing to try new things. My favorite book was “Ramona Quimby Age 8,” because I like all the risks she takes.
