Parent notes
The Junie B. Jones series uses early-elementary humor and exaggerated child perspective to entertain young readers. Because the main character often speaks with improper grammar and engages in sassy behavior or name-calling, parents may find this book best suited for co-reading to help children distinguish between humorous fictional antics and respectful everyday behavior.
