      This was my first reading of a Junie B. Jones book. I was eager to read some of the series because my seven year old granddaughter has read all of the books. Junie is an outspoken little girl with a gift for hilarious malapropisms. She also has a gift for exasperating her teacher with her comments and questions. The monkey business involves her new baby brother, a comment by her grandmother, and Junie's attempts to capitalize on having a new baby in her household.

      Junie finds out her mom is going to have a new baby. Junie misunderstands the situation and it leads to a humerous story. A wonderful book to introduce young readers to chapter books!

      Junie B. Jones is a precious little girl. Junie B. thinks that her new sister is a monkey when her grandmother tells her that she is as cute as a monkey. This misunderstanding causes mass chaos in Junie B.'s life but she finally realizes that her sister is a normal human - not a pet monkey.

      This chapter book is an example of realistic fiction, because although Junie B. and the events in her life are fictional, everything that takes place in the book are real life events and could take place today. For example, young children adjusting new baby brothers or sisters is quite common, as well as conflicts in school, etc. Junie B. Jones is the protagonist in the story and grows to be round by the end, as she comes to understand family dynamics and habits more, in addition to growing fond of her baby brother after all.

      This book is part of a many book series about a girl named Junie B. Jones who tells the each story as her own throughout the books. In this particular book she gets a new baby brother and her life changes. She now has to figure out how to share her mom and dad, she has to be more quiet when the baby sleeps, and she just doesn't understand how to do that. So within the story she tries to figure out what is so special about her new baby brother and in the end she finds out he is a pretty cool dude and new addition to the family. This book demonstrates a good lesson of change and sometimes it takes time to accept a new thing. The illustrations in this whole series are fun and make the goofy story line pop out. I would recommend reading this book with 1st-3rd grade or even higher just for fun. But the character herself goes through these same grades so she can be relatable to the students that you would want to teach.

      Junie B. Jones is a great book and series for young children.To begin with, the book is very humorous and young children enjoy reading books that will make them laugh. Junie B. finds out that she is going to be an older sibling and she is NOT happy! She says, "when's this dumb bunny baby getting here anyway?" Junie also overhears her grandma talking about her new baby brother and how he is the cutest little monkey. "Is my brother really the cutest little monkey you ever saw? For really and honest and truly?" Another reason why I like this book is because it is very simple and easy for young children to read. Although Junie B. doesn't always speak properly, she speaks in ways that other kindergartners or 1st graders would speak. An example of this is above where Junie says "for really and honest and truly?" I also like this book because it is a chapter book but for beginning readers. The words on the page are very large and doesn't overcrowd the page. This is a book that beginning readers can try to read on their own with no help. I also like that throughout the book there are several black and white illustrations to go along with what is being read, For example, when Grace kicked Lucille in the leg so that Junie B. could tell her the secret, there is an illustration covering the full right side of the page of it with Junie B. smirking in the background. The overall idea of this book is about family and Junie B. hating the thought of having a baby brother and being an older sibling, but loving everything about it when she sees him for the first time.

      This is aa great read for children in grades 1-4. This chapter book comes along with a whole series about a girl named Junie B. Jones. Her stories are interesting and find kids reading more and more to find out what happens. These are great books to use for book projects or to keep in the classroom for independent reading time. There are no illustrations on the pages because it is a chapter book, however, the author does a great job of telling a funny and interesting story for all to read.

      SUMMARYJunie B. Jones discovers that she is going to be a big sister! When her Grandma tells Junie that her mom gave birth to a "little monkey," she thinks her brother is an actual monkey. She goes to school and tells her two best friends, as well as the rest of her class, about her monkey brother. REVIEWThe Junie B. Jones books were a huge part of my childhood. I think her books are great for kids because she is so relatable. Kids can easily relate to a new baby in the house or jealousy over a sibling. This book in particular also does a great job of introducing figurative language. Junie learns that when her grandmother calls her new brother a "cute little monkey" he doesn't literally mean a monkey. Junie B's classmates also think of examples, like couch potato. Overall, I think this book is great for young readers and the humor makes for a very entertaining read.

      Junie B. Jones has always been one of my favorite book series. What she says is hilarious, and the grammatical errors that she makes when speaking just adds the the childish tone she has. The characterization in this book is spectacular--Junie B. is always narrating, but what each character says and the actions they do (according to Junie B.) says an excessive amount about them. Junie B. is a blunt, hyperactive five-year-old who complains a lot, Mrs. is a nice teacher who is worn down by her students' constant behavior problems, Lucille is a spoiled girl who likes to flaunt the expensive gifts she gets, etc. They, along with what they do in the situations they are put in, are what make the story so great.

      BEST read to your kindergartner at least a quarter way into the year.

      Not too many four year olds will be aware of the language and goings on that Junie B happens upon. But once they hit that pivotal year especially if they're in public school then this will most likely occur and the life lessons that Junie B are well learned.

      After her first day of school on the smelly bus, her parents are now telling her she is going to be a big sister. And of course Junie thinks, with her creative mind, that her baby brother is a little monkey!

      Throughout this book readers can experience situations where children take things adults say literally, and do not realize they using a figure of speech. There are also issues dealing with trading with friends and most importantly dealing with not being an only child anymore.
    • 5/5
      In my opinion, the Junie B. Jones books are a wonderful series for young readers transitioning into chapter books. I like this specific Junie B. Jones book for several reasons. The language is descriptive and is written in the way a kindergarten student would speak. For example, Junie B. Jones states, “’Cause all of a sudden I got it, that’s why.” She also exclaims, “And so guess what? No dessert, that’s what.” This is the type of grammar and sentence structure that a kindergartner would use, which I believe is perfect for the book because Junie B. Jones is a kindergartner who is narrating the story. The writing is very engaging and organized into chapters. Some words and sentences are written in capital letters to invoke anger or excitement, which I believe is very effective. Junie B. Jones is a very believable and well-developed character. She has an enthusiastic personality and can get extremely excited or angry rather easily. Junie B. Jones has strong opinions and is not always open-minded, which is evident when she states, “I don’t think I’m going to like this dumb baby.” This is typical behavior of a kindergartner. The plot is a relatable situation to many readers; Junie B. Jones is going to get a baby brother and she is not thrilled about this. Other relatable situations are taking advantage of friends, being scared to sit in the principal’s office, and taking expressions too literally. In the end, Junie B. Jones is happy to have a new brother because he is adorable. I enjoy the illustrations in this chapter book because they are very animated and detailed. The big ideas of the story are to love your family, learn to accept change, and do not take advantage of friends.

      I liked this book for a few reasons. For one, I liked the language used in the story because it can appeal to a younger student. For example, in the story Junie B. Jones says, “a’pology is when I have to say the words I’m sorry.” I think this type of language is beneficial to use in younger children chapter books because that is the dialect some of them speak. Also, I liked the plot because I think it was relatable to younger students. In the story, Junie B. Jones finds out she is going to be an older sister. I think that her initial and final feelings about this change in her life can be relatable to how younger students who may have a younger sibling feel. Also, I liked the language in the book because I thought it was humorous. For example, in the story, Junie B. Jones explains how her grandmother said her younger brother was, “the cutest little monkey she ever saw.” When Junie B. Jones heard this, she figured her brother was an actual monkey! She took what her grandmother said literally and I think students may find this funny as they read it. The big message of Junie B. Jones and a Little Mondkey Business is to not judge people before you get to know them. In the beginning of the story, Junie B. Jones was not looking forward to having a baby brother and explained that he is going to smell like “pu.” Then at the end of the story, Junie B. Jones met her younger brother and thought he was cute.

      I loved this book! I think it is a great read for children who are about to have a new sibling. Junie thinks that because she is older, she can have control of the baby. She is having a hard time understanding why everyone is so excited to meet her new sibling. Junie is definitely not happy with the news as she states, “Babies smell like P.U. I smelled one at my friend Grace’s house.” I love that the author uses language that younger children can relate to. This is exactly how a child this age would talk! The main message of this book is family and acceptance.

      Barbara Park’s second in the Junie B. Jones series A Little Monkey Business, is a comical book about a sassy, six year old and the arrival of her new baby brother. Junie B. is does not really like the idea of getting a new brother or sister. She does not like the way it is making her parents behave nor does she like that the new baby is getting all of this new stuff! Things take a turn when Junie B. hears her grandmother call her new little brother “the cutest little monkey she had ever seen.” Junie B. warms up to this new baby thing if she gets to have a real, live monkey for a brother! Everything is great until Junie B. gets into trouble at school for taking bribes for who gets to be the first to see her new monkey brother. In the end, Junie B. understands that her new brother really is not a monkey, and as depressed as that makes her, this new little brother is not going to be that bad. I am such a fan of Junie B. Jones! I have really enjoyed re-reading all of these hysterical books. They are great to read aloud to almost any age group, and I like that there are not many illustrations because it can let the readers image exactly what kind of trouble Junie B. is getting into!

      Junie B.’s new little brother is a monkey! Or so she thinks... Between sharing this during share time and her friends fighting for the chance to see it first, Junie B. ends up in the principal’s office. Luckily he manages to sort everything out, and having a little brother turns out to be fun.
