Customer Reviews

Nice Book

I bought this book by mistake, I meant to get the English Version; however, my 9 year old got a total kick out of it being in Spanish. I than bought the same book in English and she thought that was the greatest thing, to have both. She was comparing words and seeing if she could speak a little Spanish.

Hilarious!

Junie B. is getting a baby brother! While her mother is at the hospital Junie B. stays with her grandparents. While at their house, her grandmother calls her new baby brother the "cutest little monkey" and Junie B. begins to have an idea. She tells her whole class that her brother is a real live monkey and begins selling views of her brother to the highest bidder. What she finds out however, is that her brother is just a baby - nothing special to her - not even a real live monkey. This may be one of the funniest books I have ever read - both as an adult or child. It is humorous and relatable and completely understandable for all children. They are able to connect with Junie B. easier and better than with some other children's book characters.

BRAVO!

We adore Junie B. and have the entire set! We anxiously await the release of every new one published. This book (like all the Junie B. books) is cleverly written and makes my husband, daughter and I laugh until we have tears in our eyes. It makes for wonderful family time! Thank-you, Ms. Park!

this book was very good(bestest)

I liked the last piece.My whole entire class(grade 2) also loved it

Finally, something my 4 year old and I agree on!

The Junie B. series is amazing. We received this book by accident as a Christmas present and haven't stopped laughing since. Junie B. is "everychild" with a great big heart and a great big mouth to match. We loved this story so much we named our new kitten Mrs. Gutzman (after the lunch lady at Junie B.'s school). Young readers will have a great time reading this tale of a kindergartener who deals with a new baby in the family. My 4 year old laughs until she cries and I join her. Thanks Barbara Park for a wonderful read. Keep em' coming.
