Customer Reviews

This is a great book! It is EXCELLENT!!

This book is about Junie B. Jones and a play. Junie is a ship in the play. The play was about Christopher Columbus and Junie says he didn't discover America. Read the rest of the book to find out what happens!

Junie B., First Grader Shipwrecked

I teach first grade so Junie B. is a fan of all of us. I just finished reading Shipwrecked, the newest Junie B. book in the series. This series continues to be entertaining for both my students and myself. The author does an outstanding job of placing everyday children's issues in an exciting way. These books have made my students realize the importance of helping each other and thinking of others needs before their own. In Shipwrecked it covers the topics of germs, sharing, and teamwork in a way that everyone can enjoy and learn from. I will continue to read Junie B for years to come and enjoy reading the new books as they are published.

I purchased the first Junie B book to read over the phone to my granddaughter. I chuckled reading them, sent them on and her mother laughed like crazy reading them to her. Now, this book is purchased for her Kindergarten sister who has received her set, and her mother giggles just as much reading them to the next one. Yeah for Junie B. Don't know if I could pick a favorite -- other than the first one. To read Junie B is to love her. Books never get stale. Always a new idea for Junie B.

Junie B. Jones Gets Smashed

I really like it. It was funny when Christopher Columbus swan to America. I thought the story was funny. My favorite part was the real play when Junie B. got all smashed up with May, Sheldon and everything. Junie B. is the best girl and the funniest girl.

I'm an old lady and I laughed and laughed and laughed

I adore Junie B. and this was one of the best books in the series. I loved the two plot lines intertwining neatly at the end and, frankly, I laughed out loud through the whole thing. I wasn't even reading to my kids.Every Junie B. book is fresh, never formulaic. Her grammar is better as a first grader, but she's just as funny. I'm looking forward to the next volume coming soon.
