Customer Reviews

You Rock, Junie B.!

(...). I was worried about loosing a top tooth. My dad bought me this book and I read it. It was very helpful. I say that this is a book EVERYBODY will like. I have a big sister named Jessie (...) and reads Junie B. She likes her and thinks that these are the best books. I do too. My teacher at school reads them to my class. He likes the whole series just like my class. Thanks, Junie B.! From, Karla T., of Naples, FL U.S.A.

Lighten Up, parents!

I highly reccomend the Junie B. series to kids of all ages! Many parents complain about Junie's language skills. But twhen you listen to a 1st grader talk, they do say, "'Cause" and "Me" instead of "I", for example. Really listen to the kids. I'm a 6th grader, and my teacher still catches us every once in a while mixing up the "Me" and "I". Geeze oh man!!!! Parents rating this series a 1 star need to lighten up! GET OVER IT!!! Don't go telling other parents to not use this series. Junie's FUNNY!!!! That's what kids want to read! Using the improper language also makes this series unique. After reading Junie B., First Grader: Toothless Wonder and the other First Grader's I was happy that Junie was improving her language talking. But her jorunal writings do relate to a 4th grader's. I doubt a 7-year-old could write like this. Overall, I reccomend this series to kids of ALL ages. And this book to kids nervous about loosing teeth and are worried about the Tooth Fariy.

Delightful Story for Boys and Girls!

Children relate immediately to the "lost tooth" and the "tooth fairy" and related circumstances involving this situation. The loss of a tooth is an experience everyone understands. The "ups and downs" regarding the tooth fairy add humor and unresolved conflict that hold interest. Evelyn Horan ...

One of the best books I have ever read!!

I just love the Junie B. Jones series. In fact, I have every single book. I have read them all about 20 times. Even being a 4th grader, I will still laugh out loud at Junie B. Back to Junie B. Tootless wonder. I gave it five stars because I like how Junie B. has "issues" with tooth fairy. There are also a few othe parts that stick out to me. What really made me laugh was that Junie B. thought that if she went into to the classroom with her tooth missing, that poeple would throw fruit at her. Junie B. makes me rember what I was like when I lost my 1st upper tooth.I also really like how Park liked tied together the beggening and end.She did this by at the beggening having a speaker come in and teach them about recycling.Then at the end when Junie B. finds money under her pillow, her baby brother Ollie gets a bit of his first tooth. Junie B. thinks that the tooth fairy recycles her tooth and gives it to her baby brother. To sum it up, I think that this is a great book for any age.

Great fun for kids and adults

As a grandmother of a 6-year old who just lost her first front tooth, I found this story to be as much fun to read as my granddaughter. We took turns reading it and she wanted to read it all over again right away. She is now reading it to Daddy and herself. Many parts left me laughing out loud (maybe not the ones she found funny). This book is really well written and tons of fun. Definitely "Show and Tell" material!
