Great for Learning

I bought this for my young daughters who are have been learning spanish since preschool. We have had fun reading this together and looking up the words and phrases that are unfamiliar.

It is a really funny book.

I thought that this book was very funny. I liked the part when Junie B. said, "I know what she'll do. She'll bash the monsters head in with a broom because I have seen her do that with a roach and she is great at it!" I think that Barbara Park made a very good book and a good character out of Junie B. Jones.

This book makes my daughter laugh every time!

I love this book!! My nephew Ryan gave it to my daughter Hannah and she wasn't interested in reading it,but when I read it to her she laughed so hard she fell off the bed!!She's now 7 and can read it herself but still laughs everytime!!Barbara Park's books are written so that parents and kids love them. I am as anxious to get each new one that comes out!!

" Junie B. can't sleep!"

it was picture day in room nine. and paulie allen puffer has convinced junie b. that there is a monster under everybody's bed."why do you think that mommy's and daddy's sleep together? to keep each other safe from the monster!" paulie allen puffer finally convinced junie b. then to top it off, her best friend, that grace, told her that there really was a monster under her bed! so junie b. decided that her mom could bash it on the head. but when her mom got home she said that there was no such thing as a monster and that she wouldn't bash the monster over the head with the broom. the next day that grace told her that her mom got rid of her monster. she sucked it up in the vacuum cleaner, and then she put the vacuum bag with the monster in it and she compacted it! sooo...... to find out more about this book, go to your local library and check out JUNIE B. JONES HAS A MONSTER UNDER HER BED BY BARBARA PARK ILLUSTRATED BY DENISE BRUNKUS.

Too Funny!

I read this book the other day with my 6 year Kindergartener and I don't know who laughed harder, me or her! I encourage her love of books and the Junie B. Jones books are a great way for her to transition from picture books to big kid books. I hope new ones come out on a regular basis, because I am sure will read our way through the current books no time at all!
