"Very like the spunky Ramona Quimby, Junie B. Jones is a lovable character and my favorite thing about the books is hearing my girls read them to me. In their voices, it is even funnier!"
"My daughter's first grade teacher loved Junie B. Jones and started off the year reading many of her books. I was all over a cute spunky girl who wore glasses as the main character. That was until I read some of her books. Besides some humor, I don't find much to love about this girl.
Children's books should not encourage bad grammar. Period. Yes adverbs are a hard concept, but reinforcing the incorrect use of them doesn't do children any favors. Especially when they think it's cute to talk like Junie B. and start emulating her. Grammar in America is deteriorating and avid reading is the strongest warrior against it. When bad grammar props up in children's literature it sort of ruins the point of reading.
If her vocabulary weren't irritating enough, her whiny, know-it-all personality rakes against me. If my daughter were endeared to this strange child I'd read it to her despite my disapproval. But I can't read it to her without having to correct the dialogue again and again. I just can't read bad grammar. So we talked about why the sentences were incorrect because I know she's reading it without me. And then I bought her a ton of better children's literature to distract her from her begging for Junie B. Jones books.
Gratefully her teacher moved on to better forums for children's literacy like Magictree House and Roald Dahl. If you want spunk in your heroine's try Ramona or Clementine. They're intelligent, color-out-side-the-lines, question-authority-without-being-annoying girls who don't butcher the English language. Just please read your children books that don't encourage the evolution of bad grammar."
"Junie B. Jones is LOL hilarious!!! My kids really love for me to read these books aloud to them. Reading time is fun time with Junie B! I think my favorite one is Sneaky Peaky Spying."
