Meet the World's Funniest Kindergartner—Junie B. Jones!

Junie B. is a very grown-up little lady. So how come everyone treats her like a baby? With over 50 million books in print, Barbara Park's New York Times bestselling chapter book series, Junie B.

But surely Junie B. can still find some way to get everyone's attention.
