5.0 out of 5 stars Junie B - B for Bestest, February 17, 2007

By	G. R. Williams (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Junie B., First Grader: Dumb Bunny (Junie B. Jones, No. 27) (Hardcover)

This is another delightful foray into the mind of the spunky, sparky Junie. She makes reading fun for kids and grownups - boys AND girls! Actually, far from contributing to bad English I have observed by reading these VERY popular books aloud at school to students in 2nd grade, her grammatical mistakes draw good natured groans and corrections called out in unison. The kids catch them and they enjoy her antics, because she's over the top and a funny goofball, but everybody can relate to her experiences. It may be true that a struggling reader should have better material to work with but could very much still enjoy & benefit from being read to with emphasis whenever she says something "too-Junie".

5.0 out of 5 stars And She's Back!, March 24, 2007

By	Tamela Mccann "taminator1" (Nashville, TN USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Junie B., First Grader: Dumb Bunny (Junie B. Jones, No. 27) (Hardcover)

I pretended to be excited about the release of the next Junie B. Jones book because my ten year old daughter still loves this series. But secretly, I'm every bit as thrilled as she is when a new title comes out! I adore Junie B. Jones, and I suspect that Barbara Park writes these books for adults just as much as she does for the kids.

This time Junie B. and her classmates are invited to rich Lucille's house for an Easter egg hunt. Right away things get interesting as Lucille announces that there will be a special golden egg that will win the finder a swim date with Lucille in her family's new pool! Time is spent deciding what to wear (we learn that there are Jewish clothes in this book), and finally the day arrives. In her own undaunted style, Junie B. attends the party, rekindles her "friendship" with Lucille's Nanna, becomes the Easter bunny, and finds a way to keep bossy May from discovering the golden egg. What more could anyone want from a book?

Always funny, this book once again perfectly captures the voice of a first grader. I am at a loss as to how Barbara Park does it so well--perhaps she's just remembered better than the rest of us how it felt to be so enthusiastic and joyful about everything. This is another outstanding entry in the series. Highly recommended for kids of all ages!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great story, March 29, 2007

By	S. Fitzgerald (IL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Junie B., First Grader: Dumb Bunny (Junie B. Jones, No. 27) (Hardcover)

The entire Junie B. Jones collection is fantastic. We read them out loud to all five of our kids (ranging from 4-10). They all love them.

This latest story is no exception!
