Customer Reviews

Book was read immediately

My 9 year old sat by the Christmas tree and read the book in less than two hours. She loved it and thought it was very funny.

Lots of fun for Youngins'

My 7 year old loved this book. I read through the entire book with her and have to admit it was a lot of fun to interact with the storylines and of course Junie B Jones offbeat track of humor. My daughter liked the fact she good draw or add-in her own customization to the book. We loved to read the lists and discuss them about whats right and wrong about them - with a tinge of humor. You either like the Junie B series or not - I recommend highly.

Hours of entertainment

I purchased this book for my rising first grade daughter for a long summer car trip. She read it for hours in the car, and now, months later, still reads it often. My son, a second grader, also really enjoys this book. We've read all of the Junie B. Jones books (well, many of them in audio version), so we were excited to find a new book, especially right before our trip. This book is typical Junie B. fare, with funny advice on being a student. Add to that the colorful pages, drawings, and Junie's own handwriting. It is visually interesting. My husband and I also think the stories are really funny, reminding us a lot of what it is like to be a kid. I have to admit I've laughed pretty hard at some of the passages. I highly recommend this book for early elementary school children. Many kids that age can read it on their own, or it provides and easy and enjoyable read-aloud for an adult.

Hilarious for kids (and parents!)

My second grader LOVES Junie B. and couldn't wait to get this. Loved the format in which its written from Junie B's perspective. Loved that it has places to personalize with your kids own writing and drawings - stickers too! This would be the perfect book for your child who maybe hasn't taken a liking to reading just yet. Laugh out loud funny and makes you relive your own days of elementary school. I'll be giving these as Christmas gifts!

Junie B. 1st Grader, Scores Again

I love Junie B and Barbara Parks has scored again with this book. It can be read to children in a group even though there is a lot of wonderful interactive activities for a child who is reading it on their own. A new feature in this book is the clear hard plastic cover. Great for children's books. definite 5 star rating.
