I really liked the lesson at the end and I also felt this one was great at promoting empathy and as is typical with all Miss Junie B. Jones's (mis)adventures G and I got quite a few laughs. ( )

This series of books were hands down my favorite to read as a child. The introduction to all of the books start off with the same paragraph with Junie introducing herself and somethings about her. This book in particular is about a boy, named Warren, who Junie has quite the crush on. However, he likes Lucille and Grace, and not her. Junie has many various and creative attempts to get Warren to like her. Absolutely LOVE these books! ( )

Junie B. Jonesand her friends Grace and Lucille all have a crush on a handsome boy named Warren. There is only one problem -- he likes Lucille and Grace, but he thinks Junie B. is a nutball! Junie B. tries everything to get handsome Warren to like her; she tries wearing princess clothes, and lightning shoes, and even tries being calm and not acting as much like a nutball. But when Junie B. notices Warren is sad, she cheers him up with knock knock jokes and they end up playing together like old friends. This book is a great example of author's voice in writing. It would be a great book to use in the classroom to reinforce the concept of author's voice. ( )
