Customer Rating: Summary: Grandaughter screamed with delight. Comment: My granddaughter is six and is just learning to read. I bought this as a Christmas gift. When she opened it she screamed with delight. She loves the Junie B. Jones series of books. I intend on buying her the next boxed set when she finishes the first one. Customer Rating: Summary: Best Christmas Present Comment: My 7 year old son absolutley LOVES these books! They are perfect for his reading level in 1st grade and keep him completely engrossed. This set was one of the "smaller" gifts we got him this year for Christmas (we do our family present opening early) and he still has not put the books down! Customer Rating: Summary: Junie B - A character missing a moral compass. Comment: These books are terrible for the reason that the main character Junie B behavior is awful. That internal compass that we should all posses to give us a sense of right and wrong appears to be completely absent in this character. One bad act by Junie B is followed by another, and another, to apparently no end. Sure, there are a few sprinkles of humor here and there, but by far, what is more common in these books is a selfish, mean-spirited character whose selfish acts and thoughts take place without one iota of compunction.
I have no idea how a parent would want their children to be reading theses books. Customer Rating: Summary: Learning to Lighten up..... Comment: My favorite thing about Junie B. Jones.....it helps me lighten up. I think as adults we could all use a good dose of incorrect grammar and the innocence and lack of restraint that comes from being in the 1st grade. When my 6 year old reads these books, approximately half the time she corrects the incorrect grammar as she is reading it without even thinking about it. I'm not worried that it is teaching her bad habits or poorly modeling behavior of what is "right and reasonable".....what I do believe it is teaching her is to not take herself or life too seriously. Junie B Jones doesn't take herself too seriously.....she has a light heart and a confident character, and I think we would all be well served to see the sweetness in her confusions and lack of propriety. She is real.....and I would love to be able to still say that about myself, after all these years. Customer Rating: Summary: My daughter is hooked! Comment: Children absolutely love Junie B. Jones! I wasn't sure how much I liked her at first, but my daughter has drawn me in! Junie B. isn't a perfect child and she can be a little precocious, but my daughter relates so well and there is always kindness in Junie B. sometimes despite how she wants and longs to behave!
