I thought it was a very good book it should have a book reword .And it should be Gold reword.Barbara park she should have a book reword and a gold medal! That's how great it is for you.
Junie B. Jones is great for teaching narrative. It in the first person voice of a 5 year old. She is a spit fire who of course over steps her boundaries, because all 5 years do! My son is often scared of the dark and loved that someone else, even fictional, could relate to how he feels!

In this book Junie B. Jones is afraid she has a monster under her bed after a classmate tells her it is what causes drool on her pillow at night. Because of her fear she has a difficult time sleeping and needs the older members of her family to look under her bed multiple times for the monster. In the end she figures out a way to deal with her possible monster and begins to believe the drool possibly came from her own mouth as her parents had suggested.I enjoyed this book because it is another book that is easily relatable. I remember being young and scared of the dark much like Junie B. was in this book. It reminded me of the Ramona Quimby series, but I enjoyed the way this book was written not only from a kindergartener's point of view, but also using their speech patterns.In the classroom, I would have students create a monster under their own bed on paper. I would provide directions for using colors for different features on the monster, but let them put them all together. I would also have them make up one other possible clue to having a monster under the bed besides drool on a pillow.
Junie B. Jones is in kindergarten and it's picture day. She's not sure why someone has to say cheese and gives the photographer grief over taking her picture. In the end her picture is taken and she calls it her "Oh my" picture because she tells her mom it will scare the monsters out from her under her bed and keep them away. She didn't she had monsters under her bed until she talked with her classmate Paulie Allen Puffer. I really liked this book. It was so funny to read. I've never read Junie B. Jones' books and as I understand it these are series of books with cute stories such as this one. I definitely would add this to my collection of books for my soon to be classroom.I think this book would be a great addition to an increasing library and very good for kids learning to read. I think the stories would definitely help a child understand that they aren't the only one that has adventures like Junie B. Jones has. I feel definitely a great learning tool.

I think the stories would definitely help a child understand that they aren't the only one that has adventures like Junie B. Jones has. I feel definitely a great learning tool.This book could be used to talk about imagination, bullying, or problem solving. I like the way the grandma handle the monster. Even though she did not have a trash compactor, she figured out how to flatten the monster. For the class project I would have a list of problems and go around the classroom and ask the students how they would solve the problem. I would use the same problem and see how many solutions the kids could come up with.
In another one of the Junie B. Jones series books, Junie B. is having yet another dilemma she has to solve. In this story, Junie B¿s friends from her kindergarten class convince her that there is a monster under her bed, even though Mommy and Daddy say there is no such thing. Junie B. is then terrified of what lies beneath her bed. Until, she gets the terrific idea of putting a bad school picture of herself under the bed to scare the monster away. I would recommend Junie B. Jones books to lower elementary students. The great thing about the books is that, despite being pretty easy reads, they are in chapter book format which really encourages young readers that want to be reading at the chapter book level. One thing to be very cautionary of with the Junie B. Jones series though is that there is parts of the text that are grammatically incorrect or that feature misspellings. Although this helps to tell the story from the perspective of a child in kindergarten, the unconventional spelling and grammar in the story are distracting and do not make it read aloud material. I would only recommend providing this book to students who seem to have a strong hold on conventional spelling and grammar.
Junie B. Jones is at school, it's picture day for her classroom- Room Nine. After taking her picture her friend explained to her that monsters a real and that one lives under her bed. She is frightened by the thought and said that her daddy told her that monsters aren't real. After being told that monsters are real, she asks many other of her friends if it is true, they ignore her, except one who told her they are real and that they turn invisible when you look at them. She goes home after school terrified and tells her grandmaw, mom, and dad about the monster. Every one in the house ignore her because they have told her time and time before that monsters are not real. Junie B. Jones insists that they are by what her so called "friends" told her (they are more like bullies). Throughout the story Junie B. is terrified of the monster. Finally one of her friends told her how to get rid of the monster. Junie B. went home and told her grandmaw about it. Grandmaw did exactly what she said, only they did not have a trash compactor so grandmaw figured out another way to flatten the monster into a "flatso."This book could be used for many different lessons. It could be used for lessons involving imagination, problem solving, etc. It can also be used to show the reader family can always be depended on and that they know what is real, not the bullies trying to frighten you or get the best of you.
I had never read the Junie B Jones series, this was great! It was entertaining and an easy read. Junie B is told from a boy at school that there is a monster under her bed, and she spends the whole book worried and trying to get rid of the monster. In the end she uses her silly school pictures to scare away the "monster." She is a wonderful character full of life and silly little sayings. This would be a great read for students on their own or a read aloud for class.
The reason why I gave this book a three is because I really did not enjoy this book about Junie B. Jones. This was the first time I have ever read this one. In this story, Junie B¿s friends from her kindergarten class convince her that there is a monster under her bed, even though Mommy and Daddy say there is no such thing. I can relate to thinking there is a monster under the bed because when I was a child or the same age as Junie B. Jones I use to think there were a monster under my bed and in the closet. Junie B. Jones figure out her own way of overcoming her fear of the monster that is living under her bed. I remember me having to overcome my fear of things that I thought were living in my room. This book can be use in the classroom for many different things. The first things is that the book can address overcoming fears, and students can draw pictures about the story and also how the monster look that is suppose to be living under Junie B. Jones bed.
Junie B. begins with a miserable picture day and ends up believing that she¿s got a monster under her bed. Finally the two come together for a solution- Junie B. puts the miserable pictures under her bed to scare the monster. At last her parents will have some peace.
