YES! I love older covers too. And Ellen Tebbits is one of my favorites.

What awesome illustrations. I don’t have any of my Cleary books and I looked in the thrift shop but couldn’t find Beezus and Ramona. I’m hoping to re-read it before seeing the movie.

Yes, I agree. As long as they don’t change the text. The story is the most important.

I understand parts of Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margret were changed to reflect a new audience. I guess if you are reading for educational purposes it’s okay (grumbling as I type this. Why can’t today’s girls learn about a bygone way of having their period??)

Absolutely agree with you! I felt that way with the Carolyn Haywood books, which I loved as a little girl. (“B” is for Betsy”, “Betsy and Billy”, etc.) Our library still has those – and some of the Beverly Cleary books – with their original covers, and I always present them to Betty first before the new ones. More often than not, she chooses the new ones … but as long as the story is the same, that’s all that matters, right?

I don’t think I’ve seen the new covers. But I can’t wait to see the movie haha.
