Meet the World’s Funniest Kindergartner—Junie B. Jones! Remember when it was scary to go to school? In the first Junie B. Jones book, it’s Junie B.’s first day of kindergarten, where she quickly realizes she has a lot to learn. But she does know a few things; like how much she can’t stand that meanie Jim; or that books—and pencil sharpeners—and clay—are her favorite things in the whole world; or that she hates the color yellow, because it’s the same color as that stupid stinky school bus she has to ride to and from school. So, at the end of the day, Junie B. decides she won’t get on the bus after all!
From acclaimed author Barbara Park, this hilarious series—starring the wittiest, sassiest kindergartener around—is sure to be laugh-out-loud fun for the whole family!

—Publishers Weekly“Junie’s swarms of young fans will continue to delight in her unique take on the world. . . . A hilarious, first-rate read-aloud.”
—Kirkus Reviews“Junie B. Jones is a feisty six-year-old with an endearing penchant for honesty.”
—Time
“Park is truly a funny writer. Although Junie B. is a kindergartner, she’s sure to make middle graders laugh out loud.”
—School Library Journal“Barbara Park captured, with authenticity and heart, the voice of a six-year-old child. Junie B. is a spunky little girl who is naive, lacks an attention span, has a vivid imagination, quick temper, a strong sense of injustice, and an inability to understand subtlety or nuance.”
