All of the kids in her class buy their lunch and this makes her think that she is missing out on something very cool.

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!
