 Obvious Grammatical Errors September 24, 2008
Not happy
I just finished reading this to my first-grader. In addition to a lot of fragmented sentences (which I can almost understand). Why are words spelled like runned and spended (instead of ran and spent)? Have they no editors that review these at all. Also, Junie B seems to be more foul-mothed than most first graders that I've seen.
 So very funny! July 25, 2008

This book is so good! My daughter couldn't wait to get ready for bed everynight so we could read the next few chapters! (yup, we save Junie B for bedtime! She cant wait to go to bed now!). Can't wait to move on to number 3!
Junie B. Jones is great! June 8, 2008

I am in first grade, and I think Junie B. Jones is very funny! I enjoyed reading Junie B. Jones and a Little Monkey Business. I like Grace. She is my favorite character. I would recommend this to other boys and girls who like Junie B. Jones! I am looking forward to reading Junie B. Jones has a Monster under her Bed.
Big laughs over a Big misunderstanding! January 10, 2008

Oh, that Junie B. Jones is at it again! She seems to be always somehow headed in the wrong direction with something. This time, when her parents tell her about a big surprise, she's upset when it turns out to not be a gift, but a new baby brother. When her grandma returns from seeing him in the hospital, she calls him the "cutest little monkey" that she's ever seen! Fans of Junie B. Jones could just expect that she'll actually believe that there's a new monkey coming to live with her family.
But, what a surprise when Junie really goes off the deep end selling tickets to see the new "monkey," and ends up the the principal's office to boot!
Parents will love sharing this book with young readers. Not only will you laugh, there is plenty of opportunity to share discussion about our Junie's way of doing things!
Junie B. Jones and a Little Monkey Business is an educational tool certain to help create life-long readers! Highly recommended!
Funny, Sweet, and Slightly Naughty November 13, 2007

There seems to be a debate whether these books are appropriate for young children. This is my first Junie B. book (I had been reluctant to try them due to the debate). While I see both sides, I come down squarely in favor of them, if they are read with a parent or teacher. First, they are very 'real' -- Junie B. talks and thinks like a real six-year-old. Second, they are very, very funny -- for children and adults. Third, they provide teaching moments for the adult to discuss Junie's conduct and feelings -- and by extension the child's feelings. (I used this story as a vehicle to discuss my four-year-old's frustration with her two-year-old brother's conduct.) But there are some downsides. First, the grammar is too 'real' -- it is how real six-year-olds talk. Since I am reading to my four-year-old, I edit the text as I read to clean up some of the grammar. Even if I did not, my daughter's grammar is not going to be harmed by Junie B. Second, Junie B. is not a model six-year-old -- and who is? Nevertheless, an adult should discuss with the child times when Junie B. acts inappropriately. My daughter and I also read Magic TreehouseMagic Tree House Series Books: Night of the Ninjas / Dolphins At Daybreak / Polar Bears Past Bedtime / Tonight on the Titanic / Magic Tree House Research Guide: Rain Forests (Unboxed Set of MARY POPE OSBORNE Magic TreeHouse Books, # 5, 9, 12, 17 + 1 Research Guide) and Geronimo Stilton The Curse of the Cheese Pyramid (Geronimo Stilton, No. 2)books. My daughter likes all three series. I am bored to tears with the Magic Treehouse (and frankly dislike the messages in some of the books). My favorite is Geronimo Stilton -- I love the high quality paper, pictures, and text; the stories are funny and engaging.
