Hilarious tale

Barbara Park's JUNIE B. FIRST GRADER: DUMB BUNNY provides another excellent first grader tale: this taking place at Easter and telling of an Easter egg hunt with an unusual prize. But Junie B. gets stuck wearing an impossible costume and a series of mishaps might prevent her from her goals in this hilarious tale for grades 4-6.

Another great story

The entire Junie B. Jones collection is fantastic. We read them out loud to all five of our kids (ranging from 4-10). They all love them. This latest story is no exception!

And She's Back!

I pretended to be excited about the release of the next Junie B. Jones book because my ten year old daughter still loves this series. But secretly, I'm every bit as thrilled as she is when a new title comes out! I adore Junie B. Jones, and I suspect that Barbara Park writes these books for adults just as much as she does for the kids. This time Junie B. and her classmates are invited to rich Lucille's house for an Easter egg hunt. Right away things get interesting as Lucille announces that there will be a special golden egg that will win the finder a swim date with Lucille in her family's new pool! Time is spent deciding what to wear (we learn that there are Jewish clothes in this book), and finally the day arrives. In her own undaunted style, Junie B. attends the party, rekindles her "friendship" with Lucille's Nanna, becomes the Easter bunny, and finds a way to keep bossy May from discovering the golden egg. What more could anyone want from a book? Always funny, this book once again perfectly captures the voice of a first grader. I am at a loss as to how Barbara Park does it so well--perhaps she's just remembered better than the rest of us how it felt to be so enthusiastic and joyful about everything. This is another outstanding entry in the series. Highly recommended for kids of all ages!

Junie B - B for Bestest

This is another delightful foray into the mind of the spunky, sparky Junie. She makes reading fun for kids and grownups - boys AND girls! Actually, far from contributing to bad English I have observed by reading these VERY popular books aloud at school to students in 2nd grade, her grammatical mistakes draw good natured groans and corrections called out in unison. The kids catch them and they enjoy her antics, because she's over the top and a funny goofball, but everybody can relate to her experiences. It may be true that a struggling reader should have better material to work with but could very much still enjoy & benefit from being read to with emphasis whenever she says something "too-Junie".

Still Laughing

We always love reading the Junie B. Jones books. They are our favorite books to read. I think this is one of the funniest books of the series. We were more excited about the release of this book than any of the other books. My daughter received a Make a Wish and wanted to meet Barbara Park and she also dedicated this book to her. Barbara was kind enough to send it early so we were able to read it a few weeks ago. In the dedication it reads "I hope this makes you laugh and laugh." We are reading it for the second time and we are still laughing. You will not be disappointed. One of our favorite characters is the return of Lucille's richie nanna. She is so funny. Junie B. surprised us at the end. We highly reccomend this book.
