Rating:  Summary: Belly Laugh Review: Firstly, let me say my giving this book a single star is a stretch.If you'd like to teach your children to be able to speak and think "in a more better way" than your average 3 year old (that's typical Juniespeak...) these are not the books you want in your child's library. On the other hand, if you want your child to "have fun", "think different" or any other euphemism modern pedagogs can devise for lowering the collective intellectual bar, then get the box set by all means! Depicting the misspeak of a younger child could certainly be done in a more literary manner than Ms. Park has offered through the Junie B character. Huck Finn certainly wasn't Plato or Cicero, but still we got Mark Twain's point... Lest you think I'm a stodgy stick in the mud, let me say my two daughters (ages 4 and 5) had more "fun" and laughed more listening to my improvised take on Junie B's grammatically rancid tale than when I actually read the page or two that were coherent. Do yourself and your child a favor -- buy something that will feed their brain, not make a mockery of it.
Rating:  Summary: "And guess what! I didn't even break anything!" Review: Her name is Junie B. Jones. The B. stands for Beatrice. Except, Junie doesn't like Beatrice. She just likes B. That's all. In this Junie B. Jones story, one of a "million bizillon," Junie and Grace are invited over to Lucille's rich grandmother's house for a sleep over. Junie is beyond excited. She humorously packs her bags and passes the time, just waiting for Lucille's Nana's Cattle Act to come pick her up. Once she is at Lucille's house, hyper-active Junie doesn't know what to do with herself. She wants to have fun, yet obey her parent's rules for spending the night as a guest. At dinner, Junie seems to do everything possible to upset Lucille's Nana. Junie's excuses and cover-ups are simply hilarious. In the end, everything comes to a comic conclusion. A-OK! To me, the Junie B. Jones series is annoyingly adorable. I think that children from ages 6-10 would enjoy the silly adventures that Junie puts her friends, Lucille and "that" Grace through. I loved this book. I recommend it to any one. I guarantee that they will find Junie a witty, lovable character.

Rating:  Summary: Junie B Jones Is a Party Animal Review: Junie B is going to Lucille's sleepover! There wasn't really any problem in this book, just a story about girls playing.
Rating:  Summary: Junie B. is great Review: Junie B.'s friend Lucille had a sleepover party, and she can't wait can't wait! Lucille lives in her rich grandmother's mansion. Before her parents would let her go, Junie B. had to learn all the rules of spending the night. Like no running, no head butting and no talking back. Of course Junie B. finds a way to get into trouble. This was my first Junie B. Jones book and I loved it. The way Barbara Park twists the language around in the book makes it that much more enjoyable to read. The character of Junie B. is very well written and her friends balance out the flow of the book quite nicely. I am sure any girl could find one Junie. B characters that they can relate to. I think the author's message in writing this story is to have a fun time with your friends but to always be polite and follow the rule or you could get into trouble.
Rating:  Summary: My 6 and 4 year old boys love it Review: My boys love Junie B! Yeah her grammar isn't perfect and she says some things we may not want our kids to hear, but my boys love these. I find them funny and becasue they are written at my 6 year old's level he really relates. What is most important to me is that the three of us can curl up in bed a read a few chapters each night and if I say it's bed time let's read Jumie B they go get ready with no hassles. As parents we all know that reaction is priceless as is the joy of reading together.
Rating:  Summary: the first Junie B. Jones I read Review: My daughter is 6 and I read her Junie B. Jones books even when she's not around. Junie B. and my daughter are just alike, especially with the "yeah, like only..." I can't wait to own ALL the books! They're great for a rainy, big people's, veg-out day - or when you just need a good laugh.
Rating:  Summary: the first Junie B. Jones I read Review: 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.
