Junie B., First Grader: Dumb Bunny

Junie B Jones is excited about going to Lucilles party but she is ask to wear the bunny costumes and she does not like costumes even at holloween she does not like to dress up. But when she finds out she will be a celebrity she changes her mind. ( )

It's Easter time and Junie B.'s classmate Lucille is having a big a Easter egg hunt at her house. The winner of the Easter egg hunt, the person who finds the golden egg, will get to swim in Lucille's big, heated pool! Except that's going to be hard for Junie, since she's dressed as the Easter bunny! How can you hunt for easter eggs when you're tripping over big bunny feet? The book is written in a journal style, with Junie recalling everything she's experienced. Written the way a first grader writes and talks, there is an abundance of exclamation points and instances of bad grammar, which may trouble some readers, but others will find it charming and true to style for a 6 year old. The book holds up well to the long line of Junie B. Jones books that have come before this. ( )

A holiday read-aloud with my kindergartner. Junie B. goes to an Easter party at richie Lucille's house. I love the reactions of Lucille's parents and grandma as they try to corral 20 first-graders. Another winner from Barbara Park!

Review: This is an excellent example of realistic fiction because although it is not a true story first graders do call each other names, have parties, and like to choose favorites.

Setting: The setting is a backdrop setting because first graders everywhere have attitude issues.

In this book again Junie B is in first grade and she is writing in her journal. It all starts when she got in trouble for calling May a dumb bunny on the playground and goes from there in this book like all the others. You follow Junie B, thru all her mistakes and using her own jumbled meaning for words. ( )
