Remember when it was scary to go to school? 'Cause it was your first day and you didn't know anything. Meet Junie B. (short for Juniper Beatrice) Jones, kindergartner.

Junie likes: Her grampa Frank Miller and his lovely wife Helen, her Mother and Daddy (sometimes), her bestest friend Herbert (all the time!), pasketti and meatballs, and cheese sandwiches.

Junie dislikes: Tattletale May. Also, roosters . . . and clowns . . . and ponies that stomple you to death.

With more than 50 million books in print, Barbara Park's best-loved chapter book series, Junie B. Jones, is a classroom favorite and has been keeping kids laughing—and reading—for over 20 years!

Junie's cheeky attitude and hilarious antics will appeal young readers who like the Judy Moody books by Megan McDonald and Lauren Child's Clarice Bean series.
