From Booklist
Gr. 2-4. In another hilarious, easy chapter book about Junie B.
Jones, the irrepressible kindergartner veers from catastrophe to
rapture and back again. This time she has trouble deciding what to
be on Job Day. Older kids will laugh at Junie''s mistakes and
misunderstandings, especially with language, and they''ll remember
their own bewilderment and bloopers. She gets punished for shooting
off her big fat mouth "Punishment is the school word for sitting
at a big table all by yourself". She''s frank that the Pledge of
Allegiance is a jumble for her "I don''t know what that dumb story
is even talking about". She''s heartbroken to discover that Mickey
Mouse isn''t real. When she hates, she hates even her "bestest"
friend; when she''s humiliated, she can''t bear it "I hided my
head". Brunkus'' energetic drawings pick up the slapstick action
and the spunky comic hero.
