Synopsis:

Remember Molly Vera Thompson, the six-year-old who wouldn't shut up in "The Kid in the Red Jacket"? Meet Molly's clone, Junie B., who tells in her own words the hilarious story of how she gets locked in school after her first day in kindergarten. This first-chapter book is easy-to-read and set in large type to make reading comfortable for the younger set. Full color.

About the Author

Barbara Park is one of  today's funniest and best-loved writers for middle graders.  Her novels, which include Dear God, HELP!!! Love Earl; Skinnybones; The Kid in the Red Jacket; and Mick Harte Was Here have won numerous children's book awards.  Barbara thinks that the wonderful thing about writing humor is that she is able to deal with serious issues in a more lighthearted way.  Barbara's fans always want to know whether or not her characters are based on her own children (she has two sons) — in fact, they are not.  But having her sons has made it easier for her to know how kids talk and think.  What matters most to Barbara is that her books are bringing a few smiles to her readers.

Barbara lives in Paradise Valley, Arizona, with her husband, Richard. She holds a B.S. from the University of Alabama.

This is the book that started it all! Junie B. Jones is a character that you'll never want to forget! I have read this book about 10 times, and on about the 6th, I realized that I was smiling non-stop that whole time I was reading! How many books can do that?! This is a perfect book to read out loud to your kids, or to read if you want a light, funny, smart, and cute book to read. A winner!
