FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. For beginning chapter-book readers, Junie B. Jones always saves the day. Junie B.'s inimitable style wins her friends and fans everywhere. Denise Brunkus's comical, expressive drawings capture all the joys and foibleCarol Raker Collins 0375802932 0375902937 - Children's LiteratureThis chapter book is the most recent book in "The Junie B. Jones Series." Junie B. brings her saucy, irreverent, honest humor to first grade and so copes with a number of upsetting surprises. Her "bestest friend" from kindergarten Lucille (a pretty Southern-belle type) has dumped her for new friends. Grace, her old bus buddy, has taken up with a new bus buddy. Junie sits next to "goodie-two-shoes" May in class, who finds nothing but fault with Junie. And worst of all, Junie discovers she needs glasses! Fortunately, she gets help with her problems. Mr. Scary, her new teacher, helps solve the eye mystery, and a new friend, Herb, saves Junie from humiliation. The book includes Junie's forthright entries in her school journal (though it seems premature to ask students to start a journal the second day of first grade and for Junie to correct her spelling of mustache). The book captures Junie B.'s particular way of speaking, grammatical oversights included. Young readers should have fun with precocious Junie B., though first graders may need to have the story read to them. The illustrations are on the mark in interpreting some amusing and dramatic scenes. 2001, Stepping Stone/Random House,
