Jones series was new, so I was oblivious to them until now, when I am beginning to rotate some short chapter books into my almost 5-year-old's bedtime story routine.

“Park is truly a funny writer. Although Junie B. is a kindergartner, she’s sure to make middle graders laugh out loud.”—School Library Journal

“Barbara Park captured, with authenticity and heart, the voice of a six-year-old child. Junie B. is a spunky little girl who is naive, lacks an attention span, has a vivid imagination, quick temper, a strong sense of injustice, and an inability to understand subtlety or nuance.”— Book Riot
