Junie B. gets to help out in the lunch room at school on day with Mrs. Gutzman. She learns all about how the lunch ladies prepare the lunches for the children and she learns all about hygiene. She has many jobs that she gets to do like being the lunch greeter, she gets to sponge the counter and keep it clean, stacking the napkins etc.

This book could be used for pleasure reading. ( )

This book is about a little girl named Junie B. Jones and she is going to be helping out in the kitchen. Her day starts out and she gets a new lunch box and she can't wait to eat her lunch out her new lunch box. All of the kids in her class buy their lunch and this makes her think that she is missing out on something very cool. So it is time to go to lunch and all the kids except for Junie B. and this other kid have brought their lunch and every other kid is buying their lunch. Junie B, gets very jealous when she see the other kids have cookies and she doesn't. Tehn, Junie B. sees a lady who used to give them cookies when she was in kindergarten. She is a lunch lady and she wants Junie B. to be able to help out one day in the kitchen if it is ok wiht her teacher and her parents. So, the next day Junie B. is able to help at lunch and the lunch lady tells her what she has to do to help at lunch. Junie B. has to make sure the napkins are filled, make sure and keep the counter clean, and also greeet the kids every once in a while. Whne her time is done helping in the kitchen, she goes back to class and the lunch lady comes back to the classroom with a surprise. The lunch lady ask Junie B. to help her pass something out, and the surprise is cookies.

Kids can relate to this because they are always wanting to help the teacher pass out papers, or something they need help with.

In the classroom, the kids could tell the one thing that they would do in the wholde school for a day of they could help anybody. Then, maybe they could draw a picture of themselves and the person they are helping.

This is the story of a young girl named Junie B. Jones who gets into trouble because she wont stop looking into her brand new lunchbox. She argues with another little girl about brought lunches and bought lunches. She ends up helping in the cafeteria only to realize how much work it is. It's remarkable how many times in this book she gets into trouble.

This is My first Junie B Jones book, and now I find myself a fan. Junie is just a normal kids with all the real emotions we experienced growing.

A good lesson from this book for students is the importance of rules , and how to respect another s opinion ( )

This, among the other Junie B. Jones books, is a fantastic example of children's literature. The journal entries as well as the first-person narration make for a very relatable book for this age level. I know when I was a child, I completely related to Junie B. Jones, despite her love of over-exaggeration. It's childish in a charming way, and I can't wait to keep these books in my classroom when I'm teaching. The series is funny for all ages, and I was pleasantly surprised to find myself laughing through this reading of Boss of Lunch. I thought the humor would all be for the kids, but even as an adult, it's hilarious how insane Junie B's mind is. It's just a funny book, possibly even funnier to an adult than to a child!

Book description
Junie B. Jones is a great series for elementary age children. My son loves hearing these stories. These are great books to read to children because they funny and easy content to grasp. I also find this book good for first grade son to read to me to practice his reading. Junie is always getting into funny situations, and children can truly relate to her way of thinking. This is a good read aloud story, and can spark much conversation among students.
Haiku summary

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0375802940, Paperback)

The irrepressible Junie B.--room 9's most boisterous first grader nonpareil--has returned for another adventure, this time around as a hair-netted, plastic-mitted "helper" in the school cafeteria. (Her dad wisely guesses where this one's going: "A helper doesn't make things more difficult, Junie B. A helper makes things easier. Okay?") The 19th installment in this spunky series begins with much ado over the cultural implications of bought and brought lunches and the exciting arrival of a shiny new lunch box. ("Come, Herb! Come, Lennie and José! It's time for you to watch me eat out of my new lunch box!") But events quickly eclipse such trifles, as Junie B. runs into good ol' Mrs. Gutzman again, her "snack lady" from way back in kindergarten. ("That woman was a gem, I tell you.")

You might start feeling like Junie B.'s getting a little too irrepressible in her old age. But then again, maybe you've just had a long day (like Junie B.'s dad, presumably). Whatever the case, Barbara Park still rules the school with her likeable beginning chapter-book series, and you can bet Junie B. will be back for more, even after her lunch box loses its luster. (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes
