This was the first Junie B I've ever read to the kids, and I thought it was so cute! I think I laughed as much as they did!

I have started reading this series with my daughter. I am not sure why they are so popular. I think Junie B is a brat, and is extremely naughty. I don't think it is okay to talk about not liking people for no real reason and her taking all of her friends things? While my daughter enjoys it, she also thinks that Junie is quite naughty and needs to learn her manners.

I will say, I do use it as an opportunity to talk to my daughter about how not to behave.
Also, the writing is awful! My daughter does not speak like this, and I don't think most 5 year olds do. Plus writing using such horrible grammar makes it difficult to read!

Junie B Jones is a menace. THIS WAS WHY I WAS A KLEPTOMANIAC AS A CHILD, IT WAS BECAUSE OF HER.

I loved this one! It reminded me of my little sister being born and I would call her my little monkey. It was very sweet!

In this Junie B adventure her parents start out telling her she is getting a surprise... it's not the surprise she expects or anticipates. BUT she does end up getting a new baby brother. As she gets to stay the night with her Grandpa and do and eat whatever they want without Grandma getting onto them that was quite the happiness for her. When Grandma comes home from the hospital and says she has a little brother that is a little monkey. Junie B takes her seriously and thinks her baby is a real monkey so she tells her teacher and classmates this getting her into trouble. But in the end she sees him and realizes that he isn't a monkey but is as cute as a little monkey.

These books are a little on the 'hyper' side and she is a bit disrespective for my taste but my teen age special needs son has enjoyed the first two from the series so we'll see how many we end up reading. And different adventures she gets into. And you really need to read these in order to follow the story line and Junie B's understanding of her world.

Junie B is soooo irritating but I guess all kids are so makes sense.

This book reminds me of how excited I was to have a brother and how I’d always tell my teacher I have a baby brother and honestly kept calling him a baby till he went to school.

Still hated reading this tho I cannot stand bratty kids <3
