Children's author Beverly Cleary on turning 100: 'I didn't do it on purpose'

More than six decades since her first book came out, celebrated children's author Beverly Cleary is marking a milestone, turning 100 in April. TODAY's Jenna Bush Hager spoke with Cleary about such beloved characters as Ramona Quimby and Ralph S. Mouse, and helped give away some of her e-books. Our sponsor Amazon gave away the Kindles for reading them.

 Growing up in rural Oregon, she herself came to books slowly, and didn’t begin reading until second grade. She found children’s books of the time uninteresting.    “Books in those days, back in the 1920s, had been published in England, and the children had nannies and pony carts and they seemed like a bunch of sissies to me,” she told TODAY.
