Junie B. Jones is the worst (or should I say "worstest", like she would?) example for children. She's bratty, mouthy, and acts and talks like a future juvenile delinquent. As other reviewers said, she calls other kids fat, stupid, and dumb. She uses poor grammar, and no, all kids do not talk like that! My three-year old uses better grammar than Junie. I got a bad feeling from the first page of the book. She says she doesn't like her middle name, Beatrice. Great, that's very close to my daughter's name, Beatrix.My other daughter bought this book from a school book fair. I'm very disappointed that they had these abysmal books available for kids. It's going in the recycling.
My seven year old daughter LOVES the Junie B. Jones books. Reading has never been something that she has been overly found of; however, she will sit down and read an entire Junie B. Jones book in one weekend. These may not be the best written books when it comes to grammar and proper word use, but if this series of books can ignite my daughters love of reading, then they are worth every penny.
This book is a great teaching tool... how NOT to act in school... read it and enjoy. All the Junie B. Jones books are irreverant and poke fun at ourselves as well as being great to read together with your child... laugh and learn TOGETHER!
This was purchased as a teacher's gift for a teacher who has a library in her own classroom. This lady loved books so much that I thought her first grade class would enjoy having this in their collection. I purchased a few, tied them together and she was so greatful, considering she bought most of the books she owns herself. It was a win-win. My daughter got to read more, and she saved money!I did ask her which books she did NOT have but wanted. I didn't want duplicates and wanted her to have stuff off her wishlist. :)
All of my kids have loved the Junie B books, they are great for boys and girls. The writing is simple and humerus. Junie is very naughty most of the time but the kids love her and can relate to her. Certainly worth the buy. I bought this book used and it came in good condition as described.
My 6 year old loves it! She read it from cover to cover by the second day. She needed a little help with a few of the words, but wasn't discouraged with needing help because the story was so engaging. She has a asked for more Junie B. Jones books and I plan to fulfill that request.

I got this book from the library to give me something to read my kindergarten for her daily reading. We got through about half of it this afternoon and won't be finishing it. I'm already constantly correcting her English so reading a book where the main character uses poor English may be realistic, but not helpful to young kids. I also found I had to constantly skip over or modify words like stupid, hate, shut up, dumb, etc. Junie is just not a very good example to children her age. Even my daughter mentioned during the book "She's not being very nice." So at least she gets that! But we'll be looking for a book where the main character is a better example.
