Such fun stories
My granddaughter started reading chapter books a few months ago on the brink of her 7 th birthday and she really enjoys reading. She started the series today and is really excited to see what happens next with the antics of Junior B. and her friends.

Wonderful Entertainment for the Preschool and Kindergarten Crowd
If my five year old were writing this review then Junie B would have five stars. She finds it incredibly entertaining and has giggle-fits over Junie's antics. Ms. Park's writing is not on par with other children's classics (like Beverly Cleary or George Selden or E. L. Konisburg), which is why I've only given it four stars. In comparison to classics, Park's writing is a bit formulaic, the characters are flatter and more stereotypical, and the stories lack depth, but what they lack they fully make up for in comedy.Junie B is such a fun character. Barbara Park must enjoy writing her and I think that is conveyed in the stories. Junie's grammar is atrocious and I've seen several reviews where parents are upset by this. Folks, have no fear, your kiddos are much smarter than you give them credit for. If you're worried, simply laugh with your child about how Junie phrases things.I like that Barbara Park does not shy away from hitting, spitting, and references to shows that Junie has peeked at that are age-inappropriate (for example "Attack of the Killer Ponies"). All of it is mild, but such a relief in a literary world that has been so dulled-down as to not give our kids any bad ideas, we've created worlds that just don't resemble reality. Junie B's world is hyperbolic, but is more real to me--full of mistakes, misunderstandings, some good and bad teaching, and some good and bad parenting--that I think it's a pleasure for me to read as an adult. I believe children's entertainment should be just that. Entertaining. Not a constant barrage of pseudo educational material. There are plenty of lessons to be learned in fiction that is not educational. Children are fully capable of understanding why Junie's mistakes are mistakes rather than things to be emulated. Even more important is their appreciation of an author who understands the absurdities of the adult world as seen through children's eyes.

Good easy starter chapter books.
My daughter began reading these books in school, and we thoroughly enjoy the spirited Judy B. Jones series.

Great for little readers!
My son is 5, turning 6 very soon and I found that the leveled reading books were getting to easy for him and he was finishing the books so quickly. Shorter books were great to test his reading comprehension but, I wanted a book that would take him a longer time to finish, help his focus, and increase his vocabulary and writing skills. Junie B books are perfect for children who are able to sound out their letters and are familiar with sight words. He reads through them very well with some help with new words.
