Fun book to read aloud to students in K-2. 2nd and 3rd graders might be able to read it independently. I thought the writing style Barbara Park used was very creative because she wrote as if she was actually a girl in kindergarten. I had never read any of the Junie B. Jones books and picked this one because of the title: Junie B. Jones and her Big Fat Mouth. I enjoyed the book. ( )

Junie B gets in a lot of trouble for telling it like it is. She always has outbursts. In this book her class is figuring out what they would like to be when they grow up. She decides after the janitor tells her not to eat candy off the ground that she is going to be a janitor. ( )

Everyone will love this kindergartner. Junie B Jones has a great way of getting into trouble and telling it like it is. Great adventure with this one. I would recommend to read more of these series. ( )

This chapter book is a good example or realistic fiction because Junie B. Jones is a kindergartener who is learning how to control her mouth and out burst in class which is something all students learn to do when they start school. It is just a little bit harder for Junie B.
Characterization: Junie B. Jones is a round character because you learn a lot about her through her narration of the problems she had at school and home. ( )

Junie B. Jones and her big mouth is a book that about a girl named Junie B Jones. Junie is always getting in trouble. Junie teacher has to take a lot of Tylenol to deal with her. In this particular book her class is having a job day where the kids would get to dress up like what career they wanted to be. On that day they would discuss each one. Junie yells at a boy in her class so Junie gets punishment. Junie was so mad so at recess she sat by herself when she saw a piece of candy on the ground she decides to eat it. The janitor sees her and yells at her to spit it out that was dangerous. Immediately she liked the janitor for saving her. On the way home on the bus everyone is talking about what they were going to dress up as. One said they were going to carry around keys and be a prison guard. While another said they were going to be a superhero and another said they were going to paint. Junie then opened her mouth and said I am going to do all three. The only thing was that she could not think of what to be. When she got home she ran in the house yelling mommy I need help. Her mom told her not right now I am putting your baby brother to sleep. Her brother was screaming so they started looking for the babies’ pacifier. Her mom could not find it so Junie looked for it so she went and got a flash light. Junie found the pacifier. Junie gave the pacifier to her mom when her mom went to put it in the babies mouth Junie said do not do that it’s dangerous it has germs. Junie’s mom asked her where she got so smart at Junie answered at school. Later that night Junie told her parents that she decided what she wanted to be for job day. A janitor because they had keys, they painted and they saved people from danger.

When I read this book I remembered how funny Junie is through out all her books. I loved her books when I was younger.

This book could be used in a unit about careers.
