Genre: Contemporary Realism

She’s at it again. Readers continue their journey following our favorite rambunctious kindergartener, Junie B. Jones. Only now, its field day, and she’s determined for her class to be champions, which requires her to step up and lead Room Nine to victory.

a.) A major strength of this book/series is the character development of Junie B. Jones.
b.) Readers cannot help but fall in love with this feisty character. Everything from the way she dr More...

Junie B. learns the important value of teamwork and how to help her classmates work together as a team. She also learns that winning isn't everything and that even if her class loses all the events the important thing is about having fun! She also leans to be a good team sport and cheers and her classmates. The ending is very surprising and I'm not going to give it away. Junie also learns how not to brag because if she brags she is being very rude to her classmates and other people. Barbra Park More...

Barbara Park's series "Junie B. Jones" has always been a favorite of mine. I think particularly because it was one of the first chapter books I read by myself and actually enjoyed reading. Any book in the Junie B. Jones series interested me because it was something a little girl like me could relate too. Junie B. Jones is a funny little girl, who tells it like it is, no matter what. In every book Junie B. Jones book Junie B. is in a setting where she ends up learning a lesson, More...

Junie B.'s class is having a field day and she is very excited. Then it is time to choose the Captain for her classroom.

But during the first game, her shoe flies off and she chases it down and her team loses. Then her team goes on to lose every game to the other team. The teachers keep trying to convince everyone that this is supposed to be fun. But not everyone believes it. More...

There's no more accurately telling description I can give of Junie B. Jones and the celebrated series of books about her than to say that they are both an absolute joy. I can completely understand the enormous popularity of the series. Junie B. is hilarious in nearly everything she does; she can turn the simplest new concepts into epically humorous misunderstandings that will leave most readers in stitches long after finishing one of the books. At their best, the Junie B. Jones series is argu More...

Some kids live for Field Day. Some kids...not so much. Junie B has planned to be the best at several events at Field Day, it's just that things don't always work out quite the way she planned. Barbara Park and Junie B just have a way of coming up with hilarious phrasings. I especially loved the Softball Throw competition scene. This girl kills me.

Always a classic, Junie B is at it again, on field day. To lighten any mood, or to distill interest in any reader, I would recommend the Junie B. books. Language isn't on point, so maybe correction activities to go along with reading. Would use for a fun read, not for anything educational. Would recommend to 1-4 grade.

This is a great book for students and is very realtable to them. I would read this to the class te week of our field day or maybe the week before. This is an easy read that has been read for generations and is still what some kids are going through today.

Junie has a wonderful voice, but the poor grammar is a little troublesome at first read. I can see that you could get used to it, and kids would find it fun if they’re getting better usage modeled elsewhere.

The author really can catch the school life of the teenages. She described their emotional very well. So, that's why the teenages also love to read this series of the books.

We read this one before my son's field day for kindergarten to talk about being a good sport. Luckily his field day wasn't so focused on one class winning and was more about having fun.

As Junie's Kindergarten year comes to a close, so does our oldest's Kindergarten. I read this book very slowly, a chapter at a time so we could delay moving onto First Grade, since I know our daughter is very eager to move on herself. We enjoyed this book as much as all the others and we look forward to her graduation next...
