Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Outrageously sassy Junie B. Jones will make young kids crave their daily dose of reading. And with this handy four-volume boxed set, whether they start with Junie B. Jones and Some Sneaky Peeky Spying or Junie B. Jones and Her Big Fat Mouth, readers will laugh out loud at Junie B.'s hilarious mishaps and breathtakingly horrible grammar. Although the books should come with a caveat--Kids, don't try this syntax at home!--alert parents and teachers can use her malapropisms as learning opportunities for their impressionable charges. The set contains the first four titles in Barbara Park's extensive series (energetically illustrated by Denise Brunkus), including Junie B. Jones and a Little Monkey Business and Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus. All are great for reading aloud. (Ages 5 to 8) --Emilie Coulter

Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Junie B. acts like a kid...not a little adult
What makes Junie B. so endearing is that she actually talks like a real child. I too have reservations about the words "hate" and "stupid" being introduced to my 5 and 3-year-old. I just change the words as I read to "don't like" and "silly". Very easy and the effort is worth the sheer enjoyment my two girls get out of listening to the adventures of Junie B. I have tried other childrens' chapter books but none have compared to the entertainment and the relatability for the children. My girls ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Junie B. Rocks!
Junie B. is awesome! I have read every single book! She is funny! I also love Grace and Lucille! (Junie B.'s friends!)



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - I am ambivalent about the whole series
I am a bit ambivalent about this series. On the one hand I completely disagree with those reviewers that complain that this book sets bad behavioral standards. Common! If your child needs to be reminded that we do not punch friends that call us names, you are in trouble. Don't blame the book. This is something we covered early in preschool. But we all feel like doing this from time to time. So, it is easy to identify with Junie B. and laugh about her and with her. Some moral lessons of the series ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - I just don't care for Junie B. Jones books
I have purchased several of these books for my daughter to read, hoping that somehow they might get better. They don't. I am not literary scholar but, Junie B. Jones does not talk like any 1st grader I know. I can't stand to read the books because of the stupid way this character talks. She talks more like a toddler. When my child reads, I want her to expand her vocabulary, not move backwards. I agree with the other one star reviewers. I would check one out of the library first to see if you like it, ...

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Poor Grammar is Fun--shameful
If you want your child to learn poor English then the Junie B. Jones series is for you.
