Bus rules, carpools, how to stay out of trouble (possibly), homework, fun work, water fountains, friends (plus children you may not actually care for).

All the helpful hints and drawings are done by me, Junie B. Jones! Plus also, there are stickers and pages for you to write in! This thing is a hoot, I tell you!

I purchased this book for my rising first grade daughter for a long summer car trip. She read it for hours in the car, and now, months later, still reads it often. My son, a second grader, also really enjoys this book. We've read all of the Junie B. Jones books (well, many of them in audio version), so we were excited to find a new book, especially right before our trip. This book is typical Junie B. fare, with funny advice on being a student. Add to that the colorful pages, drawings, and Junie's own handwriting. It is visually interesting. My husband and I also think the stories are really funny, reminding us a lot of what it is like to be a kid. I have to admit I've laughed pretty hard at some of the passages. I highly recommend this book for early elementary school children. Many kids that age can read it on their own, or it provides and easy and enjoyable read-aloud for an adult.

My daughter got this for her 8th birthday, and she has enjoyed writing in it. I like the Junie B. Jones journal a little bit better, but she likes them both equally. It's a nice addition to the regular Junie B. Jones books.

This book was very good because it was very funny. I got this when I was younger, so I like to look back at what I wrote. The little problem about this book is that there is a plastic cover over it, and it's really hard to make it lie flat. But I could easily remove it from the spiral. It's spiral bound so when you remove the cover, it's easy to write in. It has colorful and funny dividers. I like how Junie B. is writing a journal in her own words. It also looks like she wrote it herself, because of the font, which looks like handwriting.
