adeledelion's review against another edition
Reading this in Spanish made me realize I have the whole series memorized thanks to summer days spent in the tiny, sweet Whitneyville library checking out the books in the children’s section over and over again

This was fun to read aloud to my 5-year-old, because Junie B. does a lot of yelling and has bad grammar (significantly worse than my own kid).
But that's also why I probably won't read any more of them to her for a while. I don't need to give her any additional help learning how to act like a brat. And I read books to her partially to teach her good grammar.*

1.5/5
As with the first two books, Junie B. Jones is an extremely unlikeable child. I did feel like this book was marginally better than the first two as Junie B. seems to be somewhat aware that she should think before she speaks. I also like that the Janitor got some recognition in this book - caretakers don't usually get the thanks and appreciation that they deserve.
Despite the few positives that this book offers, Junie B. is still an annoying brat and probably a terrible influence on young readers.

Part of a personal challenge to read all of my boyfriend's and his sister's childhood books before we donate and give them away.

My all time favorite Junie B. Classic kid humor, for kids and adults to get a good chuckle.

I don’t know, I just don’t love these books—my kindergartner does but I edit them as I read because I don’t want her to start using this horrible grammar and “stupid” all the time. I didn’t like these as a kid and I still don’t like them…why do I keep reading them to her? 🤷🏼♀️

Fun for kids. The series has a smirking, humor-interest for adult readers, too (like "cops resting people" cause they must be tired).
