    Junie B. Jones and Her Big Fat Mouth (ages 6-7) is the second book in the popular series. Barbara Parks does a wonderful job portraying the realities of life for a Kindergartener with an attitude and a baby brother. Junie B. is an irrepressible girl who won't let anyone tell her what to think or do. When she decides she is going to talk about her dream job of being a janitor for Job Day, the results help children understand that the job of janitor is important and girls can be janitors, too. Junie B.'s colloquial language is vivid and very funny. Junie B. is a great choice for beginning chapter book readers and reluctant readers

    I think this book would appeal to girls in grades 2-4, depending on their reading levels. I could see girls liking this book because the author writes in Junie B's point go view and words are even spelled like Junie B would say them.

    I enjoyed this book. Junie is a funny character for young students to read. As a teacher you could have them read this book when you are going to do career day at your school.

    Once again, I feel that this book didn't teach anything. In a way, I feel it teaches a sort of disrespect. Yes, I understand it's a children's book. However, I feel that it could teach better morals than it does. I had Career Day as a kid and I loved those days. We had our parents come and tell about their jobs. It was an amazing experience.

    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.

    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.

    In this Junie B. Jones book Junie and her class learn about careers and have a job day at their school. Junie learns about many different jobs and how they are done. She also has to work on keeping quiet and only talking when she is being called on in class. Junie is also adjusting to having a new baby at home and not being the center of her parent's attention.Junie B. Jones books are loved by children across the country. I like this books and others in the series because they are funny and have story lines that children can relate to. They also have simple plots and the sentence structure and word choice are easy to understand. The thing I do not like about these books is that in trying to be funny the author uses many words and phrases that are grammatically incorrect. While many children enjoy this aspect of her books I feel like it may be confusing to them and similar things could show up in their writing.

    I really enjoyed reading this book. I read this series in elementary school and it brought back many memories. I liked reading it because the language was simple, which made it quick and easy to read. For example, the sentences are short. "My name is Junie B. Jones. The B stands for Beatrice." I also liked reading it because it has a good message. When Junie B. Jones decides she wants to be a janitor she is made fun of. This taught her not to constantly be running her mouth because she will get mad fun of and also get into trouble! I think this is a good message to learn when to speak and when not to. Furthermore, it teaches you that you can be anything you want to be.

    In my opinion, I think the Junie B. Jones series is a good selection for emerging readers. The language is simple yet humorous. Barbara Park did an excellent job developing Junie B. Jones’s character because she has a strong personality. Her character does not change at all through the series. Students will find her comical, entertaining, and fun. Young readers will want to keep reading Junie B. Jones novels because of the interesting story line and plot. I love how the story is told in first person. The reader will always know how Junie B. is feeling because she is always the one to narrate. The dialogue within the book enhances the reading by depicting other characters responses and reactions to Junie B’s behavior. The purpose of this book is to allow students to read a story that is funny and relatable.

    Readers can connect through the story on issues such as not calling other children names, dealing with punishment, getting along with others, raising your hand before you speak in class and learning about fictional characters.

    This book is highly entertaining; I could not stop laughing while reading. The main idea of the story is that kids can grow up to be anything they want to be. In this book Junie B decides she wants to be a janitor when she grows up. Junie B gets made fun of because everyone says it is a man’s job. “Girls can be anything boys can be! Right, Mrs.? Right? Right? … Mrs. did a smile.” This is one example in the book her Junie B is put on the spot and embarrassed. The book is hysterical because like always Junie B is running her mouth at school and gets in trouble a lot.

    In my opinion, this is a great chapter book for beginner readers. I have always enjoyed the Junie B. Jones series as a child and I like this particular book for many reasons. The language is written in the way that a typical kindergartner, such as Junie, would speak. The informal grammar and spelling may make it easier for young readers to understand. An example of this language is, “That’s how come I shined it right in his big fat crying mouth.” The writing of this book is engaging and organized into chapters. Larger font is used to make reading less stressful, which I enjoy because the story is easier to read and comprehend. The great use of dialogue also enhances comprehension and makes you feel as if you were there. I like the author’s use of capital letters to emphasize screaming because it makes the story come alive. You can hear the character’s loud voices and strong emotions through the pages. The characters in this story are believable and relatable. Junie B. Jones is a very lively and animated character whose emotions of excitement and embarrassment can be felt throughout the story. Other characters that may relate to a child are the mean boy, Jim, the snobby girl, Lucille, the annoying baby brother, Ollie, the pre-occupied parents, and the friendly janitor. These characters may appear in a child’s everyday life. This book is written in first person through the eyes of Junie, which I really like because the reader learns so much about Junie’s personality and opinions. For example, Junie states, “I made a growly face at her. I do act like a little lady, you dumb bunny Lucille! And don’t say that again, or I’ll knock you on your can,” demonstrating her defiant nature. The plot, which is Junie must choose an extravagant career to represent on Job Day in order to impress her friends, is relatable to students with similar school assignments. This book pushes readers to broaden their views on different types of careers and understand that both boys and girls can select any job they want. The book reads, “Girls can be anything boys can be! Right, Mrs.? Right? Right? … Mrs. did a smile. Then my bestest friend Grace started to clap. And guess what? All of the other girls in Room Nine clapped too.” The big idea is every type of job is important and necessary. You can be anything you want as long as you work hard for it and not worry about the opinions of others.

    This entire book series is one of my favorites, but I particularly love this book. Barbara Park develops the character Junie B. Jones exceptionally well. She is a sassy little girl, who is obnoxious and very outspoken. She acts just like a regular kindergartener. The language used in this book is the reason I fell in love with this series. This book is written the way a five year old would talk. For example, Junie B. Jones says, “Yeah, only guess what?’ I said. “I never even heard of that dumb word careers before. And so I won’t know what the heck we’re talking about.” Her reactions to the situations presented in this book are believable and so realistic. For example, when she comes home and wants to talk to her mother but cannot because of her baby brother, she states, “ ’Cause that dumb old baby takes up all Mother’s time. And he’s not even interesting.” I also like that even thought it is a chapter book there are still illustrations. It is a great transition from picture books to chapter books.The central message of this book is to not judge a person because of the job they have. While Junie B. Jones is trying to figure out the best career to have, she discovers someone she looks up to and sees things about this person that most people would not.
