"Junie B. Jones, First Grader: One-Man Band" is the hilarious story of Junie B. Jones and how she is unable to play in the class kick ball team because she stubs her toe badly practicing at home. Throughout the book she makes the reader feel as if they can feel her pain of not being able to participate in the class kick ball game.

Barbra Parks has created another entertaining children’s novel. This story is all about how their class is supposed to be having a great big kickball party but then two of the students in their class get hurt and so the teacher has to improvise and create special parts for them so they are still able to participate and they wont feel left out on the special kickball day. Mr. Scary decided that Junie B. and Sheldon would be the halftime show. He taught them about everything that happens in a half...more
Junie B. was very excited to get the star in the first grade kick ball tournament at her school. She was so excited that she decided that she would practice at home, but something went wrong. Junie B. kicked her ball over the fence and didn't have anything else to kick so she decided that she would kick her mom's watering can. This didn't work and she ended up hurting her toe. Mr. Scary, her teacher, found out and told Junie B. that it probably was best that she should stay out of the tournamen...more
This book was a funny read and took me back to my young days of reading books like this. I actually miss reading these books. This Junie B. Jones book is about how Room One is in a Kickball Tournament with the other first grader classrooms. Junie B. is so determined to play kickball with her class and to be the best that when she was praticing at home, she kicked a water can...that was actually full of water. When she did this, she hurt her toe. Then she went to school the next day and her mom a...more
As Junie B. is getting geared up to play in the kickball tournament, tragedy strikes, she has hurt her toe and can no longer play. This spunky little girl shows attitude and great humor throughout this story, as usual for Junie B. I think that this book, along with all of the others in her series are fantastic! When i was younger, i did not enjoy reading very much, but once i found the Junie B. Jones books, i was hooked. I think thats the best thing about these books is that they make kids want...more

Junie B. is a great one-man-band probably! Even if her toe is wrong. And sometimes you might want to do something you think looks easy. Then you find out, you can't do it, on account of it's harder than it looks. And And if the whole class thinks you learned how to do and is excited, then you can't go to school that day. On account of you told your mother you broke your leg and limped around.
Junie B. books are the funniest books ever! I love them

I'm not really a fan of these books, but my 7 year old keeps reading them at school and loves them. I got a bunch of Junie audio books for our trip but Blake had already read most of them, except for this one. My older 2 kids enjoyed listening to it, but I find the writing a bit annoying. I also dislike how she says dumb and stupid all the time.
Sooo... Junie B. Jones has greatly improved grammar now that she's in first grade. I liked that. I liked this book. I thought it was funny because Junie B. really does think like a first grader. No wonder children like these books! I'd keep them around in my library.
Junie B. is such a character. She's a young Ramona. This book is #22 in the series. After some serious kickback practice with a watering can, Junie's toe is injured. This means she can't play in the tournament. Sheldon asks if she'll be in the halftime show with his one man band. He chickens out and she's left entertain on her own. Great for early readers.
This Junie B. book could be used when talking about students behavior. As a teacher they could compare and contrast behaviors between Junie B. and the students in the classroom. They can talk about the behaviors that are appropriate and the ones that are not appropriate.
I started reading the Junie B books aloud to Ella this summer, and we've both really enjoyed them. They are hilarious! I love reading about all of Junie B's escapades. It's been the perfect introduction to chapter books for Ella.
I read this with my little guy(he and I took turns reading pages). He really enjoyed this book a lot! It's a really cute, quick read for kiddos. I'd recommend it to anyone with little ones because they'll really enjoy it.
Great story about perseverance! Children can do anything, if they put their mind to it! Junie wants to be able to keep her classmates entertained, and will do anything to learn how to juggle. These books always keep me interested!

Another Junie B. adventure! I love her spunk - although I am sure she wears her teacher and her parents out! She always makes my children and me laugh! I loved her dignity on the field when everyone was laughing at her and she bravely began singing, and then juggling. Such poise for a 6 year old!!!

This is the first Junie B. book I've read, and I can see why this series is popular -- it's pretty funny, and is a lot shorter and easier to read than, say, a Beverly Cleary Ramona book.

Junie b.jones I'm thinking she is probably thinking she is the bosss of everybody because she is leading also probablly thinking she is a man in the band man band
I liked it because she's the kind of person that they would want to be in a band because of how she is and she likes band because she likes to march in school.
I liked that Junie mostly did the one-man band herself. She did the half-time show very funnily. Kids who like Junie B Jones books will like this book.
Junie B. is so funny! I want to grow up to be just like her.
Kids love Junie B. these books - They're good for kindergarten and 1st grade.

Barbara Park is really talented at creating stories for young readers, and this mom has to admit she was highly entertained as well.
Junie B makes me want to poke my eye out. Reading it with my struggling reader makes me want to poke both my eyes out.
Junie B. gets hurt and can't play in the class kickball game. She gets very creative on what she can do instead!
Adorable, funny, and lively Junie B. Jones is sure to charm readers in this book by Barbara Park. :)
