Greater than one weekJunie B is just a great series. Not only do my kids and I laugh aloud while reading it, but even my husbands friend read part of it and started laughing. Just a real fun way to get your kids to be into reading

> 3 dayThis book and several other Junie B. Jones books were given to my daughter by a family member. I was appalled by the abuse of the English language. Fans of these books say that Kids are going to talk that way anyway, so its just realistic. If you want to dumb your kid down to join the legions of morons, then by all means, purchase these books, and you will be well on your way to achieving your goal. If a 10-year old wants to read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, with its linguistic non-conformities, I have no objection. When you write books for early readers, however, you do a great disservice by teaching them to abuse the language they are just beginning to learn. Grammar and spelling aside, I found nothing particularly interesting or imaginative about these books. The main character also behaves in ways which fans call `realistic, but good parents would hate to see their children imitating. I would never support banning them, but as a parent, I am hoping that my children will look elsewhere for books for early readers.
