I read Junie B. Jones is a Graduation Girl. Junie is graduating kindergarten and she is very excited but scared at the same time. All the students have caps and gowns to wear for graduation. They're to take them home and not open them. Well, Junie B. hardly listens. She spills grape juice on the gown and to cover it up or to blend it in, she colors purple polka dots onto the gown. Junie B. goes to school Friday for graduation and everyone laughs at her because she messed up. The teacher, Mrs. ta...more

A cute way to end the first school year for Junie B. Jones. Our girls enjoy her stories and we are looking forward to her first grade antics. We are steadily working our way through the whole series...

In my view, this is one of the best books of the series up to this point. Sometimes the Junie B. Jones stories are just very cleverly written and unparalleled in terms of humor quotient, but Junie B. Jones Is a Graduation Girl adds an extra dimension of emotional depth to the narrative, really showing us the qualities about Junie B. that cause us to love her so much. She's more than just a mouthy kindergartner with an uncanny penchant for always putting herself in the middle of hilarious misadv...more

This book is just one of the many books about the same character. Junie B. Jones is a Kindergartener who is about to graduate, get a diploma, and move on to first grade. Along with being nervous about moving to a new grade and maybe loosing her best friends, she asks a lot of questions to her teacher, Mrs. Junie is curious throughout the entire book, takes advice from some of the students she shouldn't, like Paulie Allen Puffer, and on graduation day she is sad she has to leave her teacher Mrs....more
Written like all the other comical Junie B. Jones books Barbara Park does a wonderful job at telling another silly story that children can relate to. I believe that all Junie B. Jones books are great for children, especially from kindergarten to second or third grade. When I was in kindergarten I remember my teacher, Mrs. Davenport, first introduced me to this series. After that I read every single book. I loved that I could relate to some of the same feelings and experiences that Junie was goin...more
I just love this book so much! Junie B. Jones is a lovable, laughable, and realatable character. Most people were either like her or knew someone that was like her. This is a great book for a read aloud because it is funny, the chapters are short, and students will be able to relate and engage with the text. This book is not hard to read, but will encourage those who are slow readers. The chapters are small, so students will feel like they are reading a lot more than they actually are. This will...more

This book marks the end of an era: Junie B. Jones has made it through Kindergarten, and will be moving on to 1st grade. (She's a little bit horrified to learn that 1st grade means a new classroom and a new teacher.) I laughed my way through Kindergarten with her, and was sorry to see her go.
When my younger daughter was in Kindergarten, I would go to school every week and read an entire Junie B. book out loud to the class in one sitting. That class loved this girl. And when it came time for Kind...more

Junie B. Jones graduating from kindergarten paralleled with my own daughter graduating from kindergarten. My daughter loved hearing about Junie preparing for her graduation ceremony in the auditorium. She also had her own special graduation outfit just like Junie B.(a painted t-shirt that was KEPT AT SCHOOL until parents dropped their kids off for the ceremony. Hmmmmmm......did her teacher read this book and know about Junie B.'s grape juice mess?). My daughter loved seeing the picture where the...more
One of Barbara Park’s Junie B. Jones Series books, Junie B. Jones is a Graduation Girl tells the story of Junie B. Jones getting ready to graduate from kindergarten. An easy read for younger children, the trouble Junie B. gets into will keep children smiling. They can look back and remember their own kindergarten graduation and how important of a time this is for children in kindergarten; they’re growing up!
Junie is funny, irreverent and enjoyable. Ms. Parks creates humorous characters and situations that will have the whole family enjoying these stories. I have recommended Junie B Jones to many parents and young readers. Follow Junie as she begins Kindergarten, rides the smelly school bus or stains her graduation gown with grape juice. Every story is filled with humor and lessons learned.

This was about Junie B. Jones and how she was graduating kindergarten. She was so excited she wanted to show everybody her cap and gown. She then had an accident and spilled grape juice on it. Then everybody in class but different colored polka dots on their caps and gowns to make her feel better. I would use this in class for two different reasons. The first is to show the students they have to listen to their teacher. The second is because the students can help another studnet feel better by d...more
This was a very good book although I'm very sad to see that Junie is growing up and soon she will be a first grader. She certainly has grown up while being in kindergarten and I like that her vocabulary has improved while she was in kindergarten. Junie is worried that she won't see her friends that were in kindergarten with her.
Next to Ramona Junie is just the best! Junie is sure to help early readers over the hump to chapter books. She is totally hilariousl, out-of-control and the coolest kid in books in years.
No one could resist her adventures in school and out.
This experienced primary teacher would never want to teach without Junie B.

this book was good but not the best if read the book was steal good i cant belive shen was only in first grade graduating and she was so scared like im going to be on friday at 8:30am so like as soon as i get in my class room and i might were a dress i dont know yet any way lets get back to the book it was great...
This book is very fun and easy for the beginning reader to relate to through the main character and her misdeeds. I love the ending much like the book Crazy Hair Day by Saltzberg, Barney where everyone joins in to support the main character and keep them from feeling singled out on this very special day.
she graduates from 1st grade. her parents don't want her to mess up her outfit and put it on a high shelf. she gets a stool to get the outfit. junie accidentally spills grape juice on it. so when she goes to school everyone sees it and they all decide to spill grape juice on their clothes.
I liked it a lot because Junie B. can't wait for graduation so she gotted out of the box her gown and gotted it dirty with her grape juice all over it then on the day of the graduation all oof her classmates did there gowns with dots so it'll be fine graduation.
Well Junie b. Jones is the funniest girl ever, probably! You can just ask her teacher Mrs. and the janitor, Gus Vallony! And guess what else? Junie said in one of her books, that Vallony was her favorite luchmeat! So ha! She is the funniest girl ever!

I had never read this books until last summer. My summer camp kids brought this in for me to read during our story time. I fell in love with Junie B. Barbara Park created a very interesting, and humorous character who can not stay out of trouble. Children seem to love these stories and I will be adding them to my classroom library.
I like this book beacause it is very funny. Like when Junnie says a funny poem. Irecomend this book to all the people that like realstic fiction books. this bookre minds me of

I loved this book. It s a book that you could relate to. But with a funny twist. If you are looking for funny books well Junie B. Jones is the girl to ask.
She spills grape juice on her gown and she draws polka dots on it. The class starts out drawing dots on their graduation gowns and they are the colorful group.
I loved reading about graduation. It sure brought back some kindergarten memories as I've been reading this and the whole series. Even though this series is for young readers. Give these a read, even though they are short you will have a laugh or many reading them all!
I finished this book with my daughter last night, just in time for her graduation. We both really enjoyed the story line of this Junie B :)
The kids enjoyed hearing this story. They find Junie B. Jones hilarious and someone they can relate to, being in First Grade themselves.
