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

 I haven't read it but...... January 7, 2009
I haven't read this series of books, but, being the Grandfather of an avid Junie B. Jones reader, my impression is that the books are absolute heaven. Now I'm locked into supplying each series as the prior series is finished. ;=)
Grandaughter screamed with delight. January 6, 2009
My granddaughter is six and is just learning to read. I bought this as a Christmas gift. When she opened it she screamed with delight. She loves the Junie B. Jones series of books. I intend on buying her the next boxed set when she finishes the first one.
Best Christmas Present December 20, 2008
My 7 year old son absolutley LOVES these books! They are perfect for his reading level in 1st grade and keep him completely engrossed. This set was one of the "smaller" gifts we got him this year for Christmas (we do our family present opening early) and he still has not put the books down!
 Junie B - A character missing a moral compass. December 18, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
These books are terrible for the reason that the main character Junie B behavior is awful. That internal compass that we should all posses to give us a sense of right and wrong appears to be completely absent in this character. One bad act by Junie B is followed by another, and another, to apparently no end. Sure, there are a few sprinkles of humor here and there, but by far, what is more common in these books is a selfish, mean-spirited character whose selfish acts and thoughts take place without one iota of compunction.
I have no idea how a parent would want their children to be reading theses books.
 Learning to Lighten up..... December 13, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
My favorite thing about Junie B. Jones.....it helps me lighten up. I think as adults we could all use a good dose of incorrect grammar and the innocence and lack of restraint that comes from being in the 1st grade. When my 6 year old reads these books, approximately half the time she corrects the incorrect grammar as she is reading it without even thinking about it. I'm not worried that it is teaching her bad habits or poorly modeling behavior of what is "right and reasonable".....what I do believe it is teaching her is to not take herself or life too seriously. Junie B Jones doesn't take herself too seriously.....she has a light heart and a confident character, and I think we would all be well served to see the sweetness in her confusions and lack of propriety. She is real.....and I would love to be able to still say that about myself, after all these years.
