Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2-This exuberant kindergartner's newest adventure begins with a visit to the local beauty shop. Fascinated with sitting in the "spinny" chair and helping the beautician give her dad a haircut, Junie decides that her hopes and dreams are wrapped up in scissors, smelly hair gel, and fluffy towels. When her father warns her that it takes years of hard work to learn how to cut hair, the girl takes his advice and starts practicing...on her bunny slippers, on the dog, and eventually on herself. When she goes to school wearing three hats to cover her unfortunate "sprigs," only her teacher and a session with the real beautician can save her. Parks does an excellent job of keeping her adult characters real, in charge, yet not overbearing. Junie's teacher's sympathy and understanding are heartwarming, and her dad's exasperation is completely believable. Junie is always the focus and the one who solves the dilemma, this time by confessing to her teacher and admitting that she might need some help. Brunkus's illustrations complete the child's exploits. The honesty and inventiveness of this savvy kindergartner make the Junie B. books accessible and completely enjoyable.

5.0 out of 5 stars a great read for young children, November 19, 2002
A Kid's Review
I want to tell you about a series of books that I love. They are called Junie.B Jones books. The first thing I want to tell you is they are so funny. One of my favorite books in the series is Junie.B.Jones is a Barber Shop Guy. It's about her dad who has to go get a hair cut, and Junie wants to tag along. When they get there is when the trouble begins. She sees the barber cut her dad's hair and starts to ask the barber lady all sorts of questions. Later on that day she decides to work on her baby doll's hair, her fuzzy bunny slippers, her dog , and last her own hair. After her mom and dad find out, she has to go back to the barber shop, and has to get a really short haircut. Now as Junie says that is the end of my famous story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Junie B. Jones is a Beauty Shop Guy, October 30, 2001
By A Customer
My kids and I love Junie B. Jones...we have every book! By far, Junie's misadventures as a beautician are the funniest yet! She practices cutting hair on everything and when she's left with sprigs herself...well we just about rolled on the floor in laughter! What's not funny about sprigs? Just saying the word makes us giggle! If you have a child between the ages of 5 and 9, boy or girl, Junie B.'s adventures are pure hilarity!

5.0 out of 5 stars Junie B. Jones is a Beauty Shop Guy, August 15, 2000
By A Customer
My daughter and I stayed up late for the past 2 nights reading this book and we absolutely loved it! We laughed so hard it brought tears to our eyes. I know that Junie B.'s grammar is not the best in the world but that is what makes it so funny and believable. I think the fact that your child is reading and enjoying it is much more important. My daughter and I look forward to reading at night now! Thank you, Barbara Parks!
