Review from my six year old daughter

This book was interesting. At the beginning she talked all about her lunch box, and she bragged about it too. I liked this book because it was funny. The words were not to hard for me to read. I think lots of first graders should read this book.

JunieB.Jones is a party animal

JunieB.Jones is going to have a party in a giant house. When everybody comes in the giant house and they started to do fun stuff.And the mom of JunieB.Jones bought some cake for the kids.When she blowesd the candels the kids pushed her in the cake and then she forget all the kids.

Barbara Park at it again!

Again, I read another Junie B. book to my four year old and she loved it. She just loves the way that Junie B. sometimes talks like she does. Of course Junie B. is up to her pranks again in Boss of Lunch. The book starts out in her wonderful journal that we all have already grown to love. Her spelling is so cute and fun to decipher. Junie B. is so excited just like she usually is, she has gotten a new lunch box and just can not keep her hands off of it. May, the "tattletale girl" tells on her everytime that she even looks at or heaven forbid touches it. This new lunchbox leads into a class discussion of if brought lunches are better than bought lunches. As the story develops Junie B. decides that maybe bought lunches are better than brought lunches but only because of what they were having in the cafeteria that day. The lunch lady learns of Junie B.'s disappoint and gives her a special job the next day at school. You'll have to read the book to see what a mess Junie B. makes of her special job. I did not say it at the beginning but I will now. Yes, I loved this book and would recommend it to anyone. It is just as good as all the other Junie B. books. I am truly enjoying watching Junie B. grow up. I am twenty seven years old and because I work with children and have my own I can really relate to Junie B. a lot of the time. She is great. Keep it up, Ms. Park.

Excellent for reading outloud!!

My kids ages 6 & 8 can not wait to read the new Junie B. books when they come out. They beg for "just one more chapter, please mom". We love 'em!

It's GREAT!

I am a 7 year old who loves to read. I have read all of the Junie B. Jones books and I love them. I waited along time to read this book and it was worth the wait. Barbara Park has done it again. Junie B. Jones is now in first grade and is just as silly as ever.
