Jonathan Michael and the Perilous Flight Book

This is my first review. I have been waiting for this for years. I wanted to review the first chapter book I have ever read. Mom read this to me when I was in preschool. I loved it. I still have memories of jumping on my trampoline while she read it to me. I remember the first time she told me about it. I was taking out my dishes after dinner. She told me that she was going to read me a chapter book called Junie B Jones. I imagined this big, thick grown-up book. I laugh when I think about it now. I finished this in one day. I would come home from preschool and eat lunch in front of the TV. Then, a little after that, Mom would call me into the piano room to read. We are a huge reading family. I have so many memories from those times. Now, as I am older, I think it's fun to read this book and think about how I have changed since I first read it. When I first read this, I thought Junie B was so grown-up. NOW, I realize that she's just a little kindergartner who doesn't always know what she's talking about. For example, once, she said something about how the definition of unruly was, "the grown-up word for not being Ruly." I think my favorite part is when Junie B realizes that being the only one can sometimes be fun. I agree with that. I'm the only one who doesn't watch America's Got Talent, but I don't mind. It's too confusing for me. I also like how Barbara Park makes her sound like a kindergartner when she's narrating. For example, not using correct grammar. The downside to this is that if you are reading the book to a preschooler or kindergartner, they might think that she's correct. Once, I thought that the principal actually did live at the school. When I told this to Mom, she said she didn't think so. I didn't think that was worth taking a star off for, though. NOW, I am going to ask Mom a few questions. Well, maybe only one. She has not read this book in a long time, so it might just be more about the series itself.

What's something that you like about the Junie B Jones books?

Mom: I think they're funny. It's been a long time since I've actually read Junie B Jones.


OK, back to me on the living room couch. I realize that I forgot to give a summary of the book. I think that I like to put summaries in reviews. This book was about a girl named Junie B Jones. They celebrated a birthday in her class, and after that, she started talking about her own birthday. She made a boy named Jim mad, and he didn't want to invite her to his birthday. He did because his mother made him at the end.


Hey, by the way, if you don't want any spoilers, you should stop READING right here. I am about to give one. Junie B realized that she did not want to go to the party after all, and she was very very excited to be helping her grandpa fix his upstairs toilet. That part made me laugh. That is the opposite of me. I do not think that sounds like that much fun. I recommend this book to people. I don't just mean for people kindergarten to third grade. I mean everybody. It's fun to look back on your childhood.
