Junie B. Jones is our hero.
JUNIE B. JONES
by Barbara Park
Junie B. Jones just can’t help getting into all kinds of scrapes. After all, going to school, and having to ride the smelly old school bus, and making new friends isn’t easy. She really can’t help it when she shouts out loud in class. After all, if that dumb May, the class tattletale, wasn’t always calling attention to Junie B.’s behavior, she wouldn’t have to yell at her, would she? Then there’s that meanie kid, Jim, who is always teasing her and making life miserable. And it’s really hard to follow the rules, when there seem to be so many of them.
She does her best, but life just has so many interesting possibilities, which often land her in trouble with the teacher and her parents. No matter how mixed-up things get, one thing’s for sure — you’ll have a good laugh reading about Junie’s adventures in kindergarten and first grade. And, by the way — that’s Junie “B.” just the B and nothing else— as she will firmly remind you, if you happen to forget.
My daughter is halfway through second grade now and still loves Junie B.. After all, Junie B. gets into just as much trouble as my Maegan does, through absolutely no fault of her own. If people would just stop being gross and bugging her, she wouldn’t be in trouble at all!
We love Junie B. so much, we no longer get upset stomachs or nervous tummies. Instead, our bellies get all “squeezy” now!
If you haven’t read any of the wonderful books in the Junie B. Jones series following Junie B. through kindergarten and first grade, find one as soon as possible. We can’t get enough and reread old books repeatedly while eagerly awaiting each new story.
