This book is about room nine and Junie B. Jones competing against room eight in field day games. Junie B. was randomly chosen to be captain of room nine but she doesn't understand what that really means. After losing every game to room eight, room nine are sad and being sore losers. When it comes to the last event, pull-ups, William the crybaby is the one to win it for room nine and everyone goes crazy. Junie B. lets William wear her cape for the rest of the day and everyone celebrates.
Critique (Genre): This is a great example of realistic fiction because young children normally experience a field day type day at least once a year in elementary school. It is easy for them to sympathize with room nine because no one likes to lose and always takes it pretty hard, especially young children.
Critique (Plot): This is a great example of a person vs. person conflict because room nine (and Junie B. specifically) feel like beating room eight is the single most important thing. The author does a great job of using Junie B.'s thoughts and actions to display this one goal and the plot line is easy for children to follow and understand.

This is pretty funny. Everyone in my class enjoys reading all about Junie B. Jones and her adventures! ( )

First graders find Junie B Jones hilarious. They relate to her like none other, because she writes like a first grader. At the beginning, Junie B. Jones was excited about Field Day and went around the house yelling about it, when in the end she wasnt really yelling about it anymore. This was a humourous read and kids would love it.

Book description
Haiku summary

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0375802916, Paperback)

Junie B. Jones's kindergarten teacher has some strange ideas about field day: "Field Day is a day to run around in the fresh air and enjoy the sunshine. We came out here to have fun and get some exercise. And we're not going to care one little bit about who wins or who loses." Only what's so fun about losing? That's what Junie B. wants to know. In the great contest between room 8 and room 9, somehow, room 8 keeps winning all the events. As Captain Field Day of room 9, Junie B. is feeling her superpowers--and her good sportsmanship--slipping away. Can anyone save the day?

For beginning chapter-book readers, Junie B. Jones always saves the day. As in Junie B. Jones Has a Peep in Her Pocket, Junie B. Jones and Some Sneaky Peeky Spying, and the many other titles in Barbara Park's series, Junie B.'s inimitable style wins her friends and fans everywhere. Denise Brunkus's comical, expressive drawings capture all the joys and foibles of kindergarten life. With occasional "big" words (like slumped, sarcastic, and apparently) and Junie B.'s grammatical curiosities, this witty book works best as a classroom read-aloud. (Ages 5 to 8) --Emilie Coulter
