Junie B. Jones #10: Junie B. Jones Is a Party Animal

My daughter and I are such big fans of the Barbara Park series, Junie B. Jones. These are light, humerous books and I love listening to my daughter's giggles everytime Junie B. does something in character. We have read all the books in the series and are craving more! The books are a special bedtime treat for everyone. Barbara Park, please write more books!

This is the first Junie B. Jones I read (when I was 6).I have now read all of them,but the most I like was this book.This book is funny,because Junie B and her friends always did some funny things.You just cannot imagine.All kids will like it.

My daughter love Junie B. And she hasn't started hanging out at the pool hall trying out tailor mades like cigarette fiends just because the writing copies the often (gasp) incorrect grammar of a small child.Don't worry. There ain't no trouble in River City. Read Junie B with your kids. You'll all have a good time.

My grandaughter and I read this together out loud and her grandpa and brother started listening and enjoyed it as much as we did. I am going to print out the rules for "staying over" to give to all my nieces and nephews and their parents...we laughed and laughed and read them over and over. It is a good enforcement for the "grass is always greener" and Olivia looks at this nanna in a new light. Lucille's nanna ended up scaring Olivia when she was so picky about everything in her house. We are ordering several more of the books and have called the library asking them to order them for their readers.

I thought this book was excellent. The protagonist, Junie is portrayed as a kindergardener with attitude. She has a humorous side and a serious side that is would be appealing to children. The author's style is remarkable. The sentences are short and simple to understand. I felt sorry for Junie when she was at "richie nana's" house, because she was afraid to make a mess when doing anything. Plus, she was made to feel as an outsider that wasn't allowed to play as a young child does.
