I have read some reviews that liken Judy Moody to Junie B. In my opinion the two characters/book series aren't even in the same ballpark. Judy acts more like a normal kid as opposed to Junie B's over the top obnoxious outbursts. Reading Judy Moody did not make me want to pull out a red pen. If you have the opportunity to choose between the two, I highly recommend choosing Judy over Junie.]]>

Jenny loves to draw. Her teacher givers her an impossible task (for her) -- write a story words first, pictures later. While searching for her missing guinea pig she draws many pictures about where he could be. In the end, she teaches the teacher that stories can be written in many ways.
