Barbara Park is hilarious. My daughter absolutely loves her books! Junie B. is such a great character. Keeps my daughter entertained and loving to read!
I like how she calls her mother "That Woman". Not that I would call my mom that.

First, for anyone who felt they needed to be "boss" when they were in 1st grade....you'll love this book. Second, anyone who knows "BSB" or my twin sister, Shirley, this book is about her :) ANNNNDDDD, probably about me, too :)
Yes, it's written for 1st-2nd graders....but my 4th graders still love it when I read this book to them the morning before field day....and I read it to them because they get a huge kick out of it and it still makes me giggle. ...more

Junie B. Jones Is Captain Field Day is a fiction book about Junie B. getting to be captain at school for her classroom during field day. Class number nine will be competing against class number eight. Unfortunately, for class number nine, they kept losing to class number eight and everyone in class number nine felt sad. Mrs. was not about that and asked if any student would compete in the last event of the pull up bar. Surprisingly, the shy boy William volunteered to go against the strongest kid

Junie B. Jones books are commonly read to a little girl I babysit and she and I both LOVE them. They are funny and cute and always hold a good lesson. In this book Junie learns about never underestimating people and about leadership. She has to realize that being captain doesn't mean that she is better than everyone, but rather that she has to support everyone and show them how to lose gracefully. Personally these books are some of my favorite children’s books, especially as read aloud books wit

Junie B is excited for the upcoming field day, when she and her room 9 classmates will compete against their arch-kindergarten-rivals over in room 8 in a whole series of events. And her excitement reaches the boiling point when her name is drawn to be team captain. She dons a cape (well, a towel, really) and proclaims herself Captain Field Day, ready to lead her team to victory.

It is field day at Junie B. Jones' school and she is team captain. Room 8 was winning every event. Room 9 was getting very discouraged because they had not won a single event. The last event was pull-ups. William, a kid in Room 9 did 11 pull-ups and won the event. Junie B. gave William her cape and Room 9 was very excited even though they did not win as many events as Room 8.

I really enjoyed this book. I love how Barbra Park writes as she is actually in Kindergarten using phrases such as "my cape *flied in the air behind me" and "*bestest friend, Grace". There are also cute jokes within the book like the one about how Graces number was a difficult one to remember "555-5555", and how she called her teacher "Mrs." or even sometimes "woman". I recommend this book to readers who are just starting to read chapter books. I believe its easy enough to comprehend and it keep

This book is a chapter book about Junie B Jones and her becoming captain field day. This is a great chapter book starter for younger children. It still has a few pictures spread throughout and the language is fairly simple to understand. I think second graders could read this book with ease and would laugh at Junie B’s language. She uses some funny words or phrases that the children might find amusing. I think this book will also help their memory. I would make it so they read one or two chapter

I loved the heck out of this book. What an unexpectedly lovely ending. (And who DOESN'T love that a character exists in this book named Strong Frankie...?) I mean, it's pretty dang amazing. I loved Junie B. learning about captaining and how Mrs. had to model being a good leader, pretty much beginning to end because the kids are five and they don't know how to do things yet. Such an enjoyable one. I teared up at the end.

Room nine is having a field day. Junie B. drew the peice if paper that determined she was captain. Their competition was room eight. Room eight kept winning events so room nine wanted to give up. One last event needs to be done. Will Junie B. Lead her team to victoy?

I think this is the first one that I haven’t read before. It centers around the phenomenon of field day and all the issues associated with that. As usual, the story is spot on and hilarious. I love it.
I like how she thought she was the boss of every one just because she was captain and she wared a super hero and thought she could fly but her dad was helping her by holding he cap I loved this book alot.
I liked this book it teaches a lesson about never giving up. And the book says even though you lose its just a game and I agree with that. I would recommend this book to people who likes events of games with a class beating a class this is the right book!
I love Junie B Jones. This is the first one I have read to the Children. They are going into kindergarten this fall, and Junie B is in kindergarten! So, it's time.

This is my favorite Junie B. Jones book. No competition.
This book was really funny to read. I think it is really interesting to everyone.
Poor Junie B. Her plans never work out! This one is just as funny and zany as all the rest.
Junie B. is at her bratty best in this one.
