Junie B., First Grader: Jingle Bells, Batman Smells! (P.S. So Does May) is the absolutely newest book in the Junie B. Jones series and it's full of holiday cheer.

It's the holiday / Christmas season for Junie B. and her friends and classmates. Her class has been chosen to wear jingle-bell hats and perform carols. Only here's the thing --- May's spying and peeping and tattle-taling threatens to ruin it all for Junie B. Jones, or as May calls her, just Junie Jones. Things get even "worser" for Junie B. when she's chosen to be May's Secret Santa. Junie B. has a plan for a gift that will really spite May, but as she sees May's joy at the holiday season, she begins to wonder about her plan.

This is a great book that shows the true spirit of the season. Readers will feel what Junie B. feels as the events unfold. and the ending is very satisfying.


The only thing I miss about the newer books is the letter from Barbara Park at the end. This was always a nice touch and it feels like a small something is missing for it not to be there.

Our family loves the Junie B. Jones books. So when this newest one came out, we bought it right away. I think this is the best Junie B. book so far. It teaches about choices that children make and what is really important. The ending is great! My 6 year old and 4 year old loved it!

This is what my 8 year old daughter, Emily, says about this book. "Great job. I have a way to prove that I love your series of Junie B. books. I have every single book in the whole entire series so far. I even have Junie B. First Grader Aloha-ha-ha.I've never had a better book than this one!"

I wish school had been this much fun for me. This is a very easy read and my nine-year-old daughter loved it.

It's holiday time and Room One is doing lots of happy things to celebrate. Like wearing elf costumes! And singing joyful songs! Only how can Junie B enjoy the festivities when Tattletale May keeps ruining her holiday glee? And here is the worst part of it all! When everyone picks names for Secret Santa,Junie B gets stuck with Tattletale you know who! It's enough to fizzle your holiday fun! Hmm...or is it? Maybe-just maybe- a Secret Santa gift is the perfect opportunity to give May EXACTLY what she deserves.

My six year old grandson loves the "Junie B. Jones" series of books! I won't comment on each individual book because he hasn't heard or read a "Junie B. Jones" book he didn't like! If all else has failed at getting your 5-8 yr. old interested in books...read him/her one of the Junie B. Jones books. They'll love it! Barbara Park is a genius when it comes to thinking and talking like a child! And Denise Brunkus' illustrations are so clever and humorous. Great work!!

Delightful. Good message about coming
to terms with someone you may not like.
Fun book to read aloud.

great book for young readers. My kid loves Junie B. Complete the collection with this one.

This book will not disappoint any Junie B. fan. Barbara Park understands the mind of a young 5/6 year old girl perfectly. It is fun to view this young mind and understand her reasoning. This book was fun to read during the holidays.

My 7 yr old daughter loves all of the Junie B. Jones books...she's hysterical the whole time she reads them.
