The 16th adventure in Barbara Parks' collection of Junie B. Jones books continues in grand fashion. Junie B. becomes the Captian of Room Nine's field day. Competition seems too much for Room Nine to handle but ultimately Junie B. and her friends are able to see what being a true winner really is. The latest Junie B. story is filled with the same fun humor and kindergarten antics but this particular journey allows all of Room Nine to grow up just a little.

Did you ever think of being the captain of field day? You can find out in Junie B. Jones is the Captain of Field Day! What it is like. The author of this book is Barbra Park. A kindergartener named Junie B. Jones just happens to be the captain of Field Day! Boy, she is so excited to be captain that she just can't wait! She and her team have bad luck right away. Room 8 has a strong kid that can do any thing! But that's not the end of field day!

I like this book because Junie B. is not a sore looser and she has fun. Also she does not cry!

I think the authors purpose in writing this book is to show people that you should not judge a person when you don't know what they can do. You should read this book to find out more!

hi!i am a 3rd grader. i love the Junie B. series. "Junie B Jones is Captain Field Day" is my favorite book out of Junie B's. It is my favorite because it has a lot of action. Junie B is always really funny. Junie B. and her class each have to pick a piece of paper out of the basket. When Miss gets to Junie B. with the basket, she puts her hand in and feels around until her hand gets tingly to select the captain paper. Junie B. screams a lot. Most girls would love junie b.

I chose to make this the first Junie B. Jones book I read and I wasn't disappointed. Junie B. is a realistic portrayal of an amusing and cute kindergartener. She's can also be rather precocious and self-centered at times and this story teaches an important lesson about not being that way. The ending was surprising and in my opinion pleasant, although everything did not work out the way Junie had hoped, an unlikely hero emerged. As for Junie B.'s dialect, she speaks it like it is and I would agree that parents should probably monitor reading of these stories. Neverthless, that doesn't detract from a great story.

Wonderful, honest, and energetic Junie B. Jones is so excited about Field Day, even though she's not quite sure what it is. She gets even more excited when through the luck of the draw she is made "Captain Field Day." Junie B. and her classmates come up with a plan for their competitions, and, in Junie B.'s usual style, things don't go quite as planned. Another winner from Barbara Park.

I think Junie B. Jones is funny because she gets in a lot of trouble because she dosen't listen. p.s. I'm 7.barbra park I love your books they are so funny.

Page 20, "I runned straight back to the sink..".
Do they bother to run a spell check before they publish a book? Completely agree with J. Ballweg.

That's what Junie's teacher says. But the fun of Field Day is elusive to the always competitive Junie B. Jones who wants to defeat room 8! How can they do that when the other class keeps winning every single event?

As captain, Junie must come up with some ideas to turn the tide. And since the ideas are coming from the always just-a-bit-confused Junie, big laughs will follow.

Junie B. Jones Is Captain Field Day is another winner from Barbara Park, that is sure to teach young readers about sportsmanship, and how not to do things the Junie way!
