Junie B. Jones and a Little Monkey Business
Barbara Park
My Rating: 4 out of 5
Genre: Fiction/First chapter book
There is going to be a new baby in the family, and Junie B. is not thrilled. She thinks babies are stinky messes, and doesn't see what the big deal is. Junie goes to school and tells her two best friends, Grace and Lucille, about the new addition - causing a commotion Junie B. wasn't expecting. It's finally the big day and Junie B.'s mom goes to the hospital, leaving her with Grandpa Frank. Eventually, her grandma comes home from the hospital and exclaims how Junie B's new little brother is a cute little monkey, with long fingers and dark hair. Junie B. hears this and, like the impressionable kindergartner that she is, actually thinks her brother is a real monkey! Junie B. excitedly carries this information with her to school the next day, blabbing to everyone how her brother is a real-life monkey because she just can't keep her big, fat, mouth shut!
The second in Park's series, this book is great for readers who are transitioning from picture books to chapter books. The hilarious adventures of Junie B. will have readers laughing out loud and eager to move on to the next book in the series.
