- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Junie B. Jones and the Yucky Blucky Fruitcake by Barbara Park is a fictional story in the popular Junie B. Jones series. Many children love this series because they are great for beginner readers and because they are funny. Children seem to enjoy stories that make them laugh, and this book will definitely do that. Kids can also relate to Junie B. Jones in this book. The story is about the main character, Junie B. Jones, and how she plays games at her school carnival but with little success. This is a good book for children to see that being a sore loser is not the way to go.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Junie B. Jones is a kindergartner who is out to win all the games that she plays. When one morning she plays three games with her grandpa and wins she thinks she's the best at them. Once she goes to school and plays the games with two of her best friends and can't win she becomes a sore loser. Her school is having a school Carnival so Junie B. Jones goes home to practice some of the games so she can win. But, when she goes to play the games at the carnival she doesn't win and gets in trouble for her attitude towards losing. This could be a both good and bad to let children read. It could teach them a lesson to not be a sore loser like Junie B. Jones or it could make some children think its okay to act like she did.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Junie B. Jones is a kindergartner who loves winning. She challenges her grandpa, and two best friends to different games to prove she is the best at them all. She beats her grandpa in all the games, but she loses to her two best friends. When her teacher tells her they are having a Carnival Junie goes home and practices all the games they will have at the Carnival, so she can will them all. When Junie B. Jones goes to the Carnival she does not win any prizes but a comb. The last game she plays is cake walk, Junie win and picks out a cake wrapped in foil, to her discovery its a fruit cake which she does not like at all. This is a great book for children to read to know that you will not always win everything and its ok. Not everyone is perfect and is going to win all the games all the time. The only downfall with the book is that it's not in proper English format. This is a problem because this is when children and starting to read and write and for it not being in proper English does not help with that.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It's an okay book. I feel that it might could give children the wrong idea. It might make them feel it's okay to complain as the main character does. It also doesn't teach proper grammar. I can understand that, since it's from a child's perspective. But this is a crucial time for children to be learning proper English and I feel this book doesn't support that.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5so what are your plans. if I could have done. it will not only did the first to write you an opportunity 6
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This book seemed more annoying than some of the others in this series. Love Grandpa!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This one was a fun one to read to the kids.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I understand that a lot of children love Junie B. Jones and I am a fan of providing any materials my students are interested in reading. However, personally, I hate Junie B. Jones. I think that she is an irritating and rude little girl and I think her parents sound exhausted. I do not subscribe to the idea that children's behavior is influenced by what they read, so I don't think there is any harm in reading a book about a child whose behavior I do not appreciate, however, if I had to read many of these books, I would not enjoy it.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I had mixed feelings about the book “Junie B. Jones and the Yucky Blucky Fruitcake” by Barbara Park. One reason I liked the book was because of the few illustrations it had. The illustrations were colored in black and white, and they helped the reader follow along in the book. One picture shows Junie B. Jones looking at her fruit cake she just won. It shows a disgusted look on her face. The reader can then understand she is not happy with what she picked. An aspect that I did not like was the writing. I understand that these books are written not correctly on purpose but I do not like it. “And guess what? I winned all of those games, too!” When I read a book, I want it to be written grammatically correct. It is understandable that some people like these books and others do not. The big idea of this story is to not let yourself get upset about little things. Junie B. Jones gets very upset that she cannot win anything. She ends up winning a cake and picks a fruit cake which she ends up not liking, although she does find a good use for the cake.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5In this book, Junie B. Jones has won a cake at her school fair, but unfortunately, it is not quite what she was expecting. This is a fun book to read to students about a girl close to their age experiencing things that they go through everyday.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Reading this Junie B. Jones book brought back so many memories. It reminded me of being in elementary school because of how well the author portrays the story from the viewpoint of a child. I liked reading this book for several reasons. First, I loved that it was written in child-like speech. It truly reflects the way a child expresses themselves and is relatable to readers because they can understand exactly what the speaker is saying and not feel like they are challenged. Even though the book does not use Standard English, the book reinforces literacy and is a great stepping stool to using proper English. Second, the plot was well developed because in each chapter Junie B. went through a different conflict, but there was also the overarching challenge of wanting to win and be the best at something. This engaged readers and related to them because at that age it is very important to them to be socially accepted by their peers, which they often do through being the best at something. Readers can easily point out Junie B’s mistakes and wrong doings, which serves as a social story to them, pointing out what is important in social settings and what is not appropriate. The purpose of this story was to reach younger readers and engage them in a transitional chapter book about experiences relevant to them.

But when Junie B. wins the Cake Walk, she chooses the bestest cake of all—the one wrapped in sparkly aluminum foil. How was she to know it was a lethal weapon?
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Junie B. Jones becomes obsessed with winning, but she finds herself losing out and getting in trouble for being a sore loser at the school carnival. She finally does win something- a fruitcake! It is not the delicious cake she imagines, but she finds out that she can sit on it and enjoy its aluminum wrapping.
