Reviews:
K-Gr 3 --Park is truly a funny writer. Although Junie B. is a kindergartner, she's sure to make middle graders laugh out loud when they read about her adventures on the first day of school. Even the most insecure readers will feel superior because they know so much more than she does. Brunkus's occasional black-and-white pencil illustrations are appealing and reinforce the mood of the text. Junie B. is a real character; she talks a lot, is funny without knowing it, and honest to a fault. This book will get lots of peer recommendations, and younger kids will enjoy listening to it when read aloud. It's a real hoot! --Gale W. Sherman, Pocatello Pub . Lib . , ID

Suggestions for Use:
I think this book would be great to use as inspiration for a writing activity. What would you do if you go left in the school alone? Would you explore like Junie B. Jones. Another cute idea found on Pintrest was the creation of a trailer. Check it out here: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/112590059405456181/.
