This is the best of the Junie B. Jones books that I have read so far. This one is more believable than the others. Sure, I can believe a little kid could get obsessed with cutting hair and disobey her parents and chop up her own hair. Although why Junie B's parents were dumb enough to trust her with regular scissors and not get her the special kindergarten kind that only cut paper, I will never know.
Something that bothers me about Junie B. is that she acts in a really obnoxious way, More...

My niece who just turned 6 and is in grade 1 keeps taking Junie B. Jones books out from her library. I think she may be a year too young for the books (what 6 year old reads 60-120 page books?) But she likes them, so we take turns reading the pages.

Junie B. is at it again. She's quite determined to be a beauty shop guy and with "years and years and years of practice", she could possibly be one.

The whole time I'm listening to this, I keep saying, " Oh No!" over and over again. The kids in the car are cracking up. But I know where this is all going to, and all I can say at the beginning of each incident is," Oh no." And the kids all perk up and say what, what? And I say, this isn't going to be good for Junie B.
Unfortunately for the family I nanny for, the two kids decided to try this one out for themselves. And in the end, just like Junie B. Jones, More...

Junie b. in this book was not very bright but i can stil relate to her. when i was smaller i wanted to cut my hair also. i also got in loads of trpuble but that was the past. so now that i am older and i like that my hair is long, i don't see how anyone ould want to cut their hair. but still, she's just a little girl. even though her dad tried to worn her. she's a little girl and children won't learn to not do things if they don't figure it out for themselves. so when they took a little trip to

Junie B. Jones is a book series that children love to read because of Parks use of humor in her characters. "Junie B. Jones Is a Beauty Shop Guy" is a book about a little girl (Junie) who goes with her father to get his hair cut, which inspires her to be a "beauty shop guy". So she begins to practice her skills on her furry slippers, stuffed animals, her dog, and eventually she practices on her own hair. This book would be very enjoyable for little girls, and even boys, and i

I thought this was a cute book and I thought it was actually pretty funny, but I don't know if I would really want to read it to young children even though that's who it's meant for. I didn't really like how it was written in her words, like how it would say things like, "I hided" or "I runned" because then young children who still don't really have reading down quite yet might think that that's correct and it's not. If the child is old enough to know it's not then I don't ha

I would give this book one and a half stars.
The story isn't built to be quite as funny as most of the previous Junie B. Jones books that I've read, but our main girl is as spirited and spunky as ever, with a new drive in mind of becoming a...well, a hair stylist, or "beauty shop guy." I never really thought that such an occupation would appeal to Junie B. all that much, but I guess it's something new that I've learned about her!

If you've ever known a child who has, in a moment of frustration or playfulness, cut her own hair with slightly-disastrous results, you will get a kick out of this book. Every year here at school we have at least one kiddo who shows up with sprigs of her own (this seems to be a predominantly female pastime), and every year I'm reminded of Junie B. And after the publication of Sara Pennypacker's lovable, slightly-Junie B-ish Clementine, I'm reminded of Margaret's dandelion head More...

I managed to go 10 years as a children's librarian without ever reading a Junie B Jones book. And then, my daughter brought one home from school...since she is at the 'Hop on Pop' stage of reading, I had to read it aloud. Well, both her and my son LOVE to listen to these books. They laugh out loud when Junie B pulls her antics, so how can I fault a book like that?! I still prefer Clementine and Ramona (the books and the characters) but I see a future full of Junie B, too.

Junie B. Jones is a Beauty Shop Guy, is a book about a girl who wants to be a beauty shop guy when she grows up. The main character is Junie B. Jones. This book takes place in Junie’s bathroom. Her main internal struggle is that she wants to practice being a hair stylist. Her main external conflicts are that people will probably make fun of what she did to her hair.

I read this book with my 6 yr old daughter...let me just warn all moms-this is a terrible book to read to your child! I could see the little wheels turning in her head the whole time Junie chopped her dogs hair, and her own! Although this book has made me fear for the safety of my daughters beautiful long locks, it was a fun and entertaining read!

What's the bestest job ever? A beauty shop guy, that's what! And Junie B. Jones is going to be one when she grows up. But first she needs a little practice. And a few volunteers. Like her bunny slippers. And her dog. And maybe even...herself? Is Junie B. on her way to a great new career? Or is she about to have the worst hair day ever?

This is a great story, a common theme for many childhoods - getting ahold of some scissors and cutting your hair, someone else's hair or your dog or toy's hair. Our girls have done this too, and it was a funny way to talk about what happens when you do it and the trouble you can get into. Our girls really enjoyed this story.

First book that Mo and I read together in the mentoring program. We worked our way through most of the Junie B. books before moving on, so I have great fondness for Junie B. This series is gently funny, with enough plot and recurring characters to keep anyone interested.

Another cute Junie B. book about Junie giving herself a hair cut. I think every child cuts their hair at some point. I know I did when I was little and my daughter did too! I had to talk with my daughter though because I didn't want this book to give her any ideas.

I had this book in my class library, but never read it until now. One of my students recommended this book to me and I can't stop reading them! The Junie B. Jones stories are very funny and Junie definitely has a strong, loveable, funny, personality.

This may be the funniest Junie B.Jones book yet. Keep her away from the scissors!
This book reminds me of when I was little and cut my own hair. My mom's friend said, "It finally look all right." and so I cut it again.
