Review # 1 was written on 2012-11-01 00:00:00 Tammy Doyle I got this out of the library for my 4yo on a classmate's mom's recommendation. My 4yo loved it, I hated it. I expect it would be fine for a slightly older kid who would get the "humor", but for my 4yo it was just exposing her for the first time to a bunch of inappropriate stuff. Specifically: The grammar is atrocious. It's supposed to be cute, but it sets my teeth on edge. I wouldn't let my daughter talk like that, so why would I read her a book written that way? I corrected it as I read it. Junie B. is a brat. My daughter and her friends haven't yet gotten to the "you're not my friend" stage, I certainly don't want her learning it from these books! There is a "teaching moment" at the end, but when you're reading it over the course of several days it takes much too long to get to it for the message to sink in. The language sucks. ;) Lots of "dumb" and "stupid" which my daughter is horrified by, both being "bad words" at preschool. We may revisit these books when she's older and can understand it all a little better, but hopefully she'll find better books she likes just as much!

Review # 2 was written on 2018-05-24 00:00:00 Raul Garza Junie B. is a very anxious 5 year old. She is in kindergarten and her parents had a baby boy. She was very excited about having a baby brother. One day, she was with her grandma and her grandma told her that her bother was "the cutest little monkey". Just like any other 5 year old would do, Junie believed her. She went to school and told all of her friends that her brother was a monkey. Her friends then started giving her presents and bribing her so they would be the first one to see her brother that is said to be a monkey. Eventually Junie B. was sent to the principal's office. He had to call Junie's grandmother so she could clarify that Junie's brother was a baby but he was just cute. Junie B. Jones is a 5 year old girl in kindergarten. She was happy to be getting a new brother. Toward the end of the book she was not as excited, because she found out her baby brother wasn't a monkey. She is very gullible just like any other little kid. I recommend this book, or any Junie B. Jones books, for grades 3-5. These ages would like it the most because, they Junie B. is younger like them. They can relate to the same thing Junie B. went through. Although, any age could read it. If you need a good laugh, you have to read a Junie B. book.
