    my son love love loves these books. He is in 2nd grade and has been asking about these...These books are in GREAT condition, the wording and understanding is great for kids that are in kindergarten to 2nd or 3rd grade. He sits and laughs as he is reading the books. Perfect age range for him for being 7years old.

    I purchased all the Junie B Jones books for my 7 year old. We have laughed and been thrilled by the main character (who is a real crack up) in every single book. I highly recommend this complete set for you and your little girl. We read together every night, and there were a few explanations I had to share. It has been a fun, learning experience for both of us Terry

    We love these books!!! My son’s first grade teacher started reading them in the virtual classroom and we both fell in love! The books follow Junie B. Jones from Kindergarten to first grade. Each book is a new “adventure” in the day in the life of a spunky little 6 year old; written from Junie’s point of view- I see a lot of terrible reviews on here. Complaining about language and grammar and the behavior of Junie. I would like to remind everyone the Junie series was written in 1992!! Back then, not everyone was so “politically correct” and sensitive! Come on people! Barbara Park is writing this from a six year old’s point of view. Speaking and doing things that a typical (perhaps a little bit naughty) 6 year old might do or say!! The grammar/ sentence structure isn’t perfect. “My bestest friend named Grace rides the bus with me. Every day she sits right exactly next to me. ‘Cause i save her a seat, that’s why.” “Kids go to recess because it helps them not have ants in their pants.” Because we are doing virtual learning at home; I have got the opportunity to sit through and listen to several of these books read out loud. Junie B. has called the mean boy Jim a “poopy head”; she thinks her baby brother is annoying; she shouts out in class; and her nemesis is a little girl named May. The girls have had many disagreements in the books. BUT as with any other book; there are many learning opportunities that reveal themselves in the book. An example- In the Christmas book Junie B. Selects May as her secret Santa. Junie B. Only gets $4 to buy her whole family AND the secret Santa gift; but there is a wonderful Whoopie Cushion that costs a whole dollar and would eat up the majority of her money. (The washable tattoos or the stickers- those gifts cost like $.25) She spends the whole book with the plan she will buy the Whoopie Cushion for herself and save money by giving May coal from her dads grill. She even brings the coal to school and is prepared to drop it into the secret Santa bag for May. Except- she watches how happy and excited May is about Secret Santa. She accidentally lets it slip that she doesn’t have many friends. Will Junie B. Do the “right thing”? Go buy “Jingle Bells; Batman Smells” to find out!! My son doesn’t think it’s acceptable to call someone a “poopy head” or interrupt, or shout out in class because Junie B. Does it! He has the ability to decipher (even at 6) that Junie B. Doing it is wrong. The shock value of hearing it written in a book is what makes the book fun and interesting and he wants to read more! (Which is the ultimate goal isn’t it?) I just bought this book set for him; and his Aunt is buying him another set for his birthday so we can keep that fire and interest for reading books going. Let me also remind you some of the books WE read in school- Catcher in the Rye? Animal Farm? I mean this hardly getting to that level. These books are fun and interesting; allow plenty of moments for your child to feel a little bit of empathy; maybe sympathize with how Junie is feeling; ask themselves what THEY would do if the whole class laughed at them during show and tell; or if someone pushed them down on the school bus. If their “bestest” friends all of a sudden had a NEW bestest friend. How it feels when suddenly there is a new baby introduced to the family; how they might feel with these new unexpected feelings. It’s not all “poor grammar” and “misbehaving children”. If you are STILL on the fence about it; just about everyone and their brother has read aloud the books on YouTube. Usually broken down by the chapter. Our favorite to listen to is John Jimerson of Seriouslyreadabook.com He is a dad that REALLY gets into the reading of the chapters. Great voices; animated- my son loves hearing HIM read them in particular. (You can tell that this man is either an educator; a great father or BOTH. If he doesn’t convince you? I don’t know what will LOL. Seriously though- just read the books!
