Just let Junie B.: I'm fascinated by the parental displeasure indicated in reviews of this book. You'd think Junie B. was a small bundle of pure inexplicable evil from the way some people have reviewed her. Undoubtedly, parents who have a problem dealing with Junie B. will also have a problem with Calvin from "Calvin and Hobbes" or any other book/comic/television show where the protagonist does not unerringly do the right thing at all times. Some suspect that this book approves of the names Junie B. calls others, ignoring the fact that she is systematically punished for each and every misbehavior she exhibits. Now, don't think that Junie B. is a godsend to children everywhere or the new children's classic. But she is amusing and chock full of jokes kids won't get. I myself have unwillingly been won over to Junie B. Jones. Walking into this book I was convinced it was just a Ramona Quimby knock off, right down to the grade Junie B. Jones attends. As it is, it is not only not a knock off, but an interesting series in its own right. Junie's parents are only half as calm and collected as the Quimby's, and you can't blame them a bit. What with a precocious kindergartner and a baby as well, these parents are fairly strained as it is. Junie herself is realistically portrayed, and I experienced the joy many a second grader must feel when I figured out that she was going to dress up as a janitor for career day. Here is a book that celebrates working class jobs as legitimate occupations to aspire towards. For those students who've either run out of Ramona books, or feel they'd like to hear more about other kindergartners, Junie B. wouldn't be a bad recommendation. Would read aloud very well in class, I think.
Junie B. Jones Big Fat Mouth: Morgan Turner The best book!!!! The best book that I have read is Junie B. Jones Big Fat Mouth by Barabara Park. Junie B. Jones has many fantastic books, but I like this one the best. I like this book because if you are down about something you can pick up a Junie book and you will be laughing your head off. For example at the first of the year, I was nervous and down because I was afraid that I would not get to class on time .So when I got to class I picked up this book and started to laugh. It made the rest of my day so much better. Another reason is that it is career day at Junie's school. Well Junie wants to be something and she yells it on the bus but then she wants to be another thing but then another, finally a boy on the bus says "be all three," but he says it in a mean way.On career day Junie shows up at school as a .............sorry you have to read it to find out. The last reason is that I don't like to read much, but since I have read this book I enjoy the series. Have fun reading Junie B. Jones Big Fat Mouth!!!!
Junie B Jones and her Big Fat Mouth (#3): It's Job Day in Junie B's class. But she tells everyone that she's going to paint like Charlotte, unlock stuff like Roger, and save people like William.But she doesn't know what she has to be! What's Junie B's job? Read it to find out.
Great: This book is great. She is a trouble maker with her big fat mauoth. Junie B. Jones is a very good character, and she is the funnier in the whole world. Buy it. Trust Me!
A Wonderful Book!: I have four children and we all love Junie B! She is so cute and funny! She is not perfect, but then none of us are. I think even most small children realize that some of the things she does are totally ridiculous, and they would never act the way she does. Buy this book and spend some time laughing with your children.
