Have you heard of Beverly Bunn?

If you’re familiar with Beezus, Ramona, Ralph S. Mouse, or Mr. Henshaw, then you also know Beverly Bunn.

As you may have guessed, Beverly Bunn is Beverly Cleary!

I learned this when I recently called Beverly Cleary to record her pronouncing and sharing a story about her name for the TeachingBooks.net Author Name Pronunciation Guide.  Now you can hear her voice as she tells a story from her childhood about her maiden name, Bunn.

Listen now.

Does hearing Beverly Cleary’s story make you think of a certain high-spirited and spunky character from her books?
