[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kindergarten and maybe 1st. I think the books are hilarious.

It’s funny how parents here avoid them, but most kids these days truly act like that due to parents being “friendly” with their kids.

The whole point is to read them and realize it is okay (and even funny)  to have the thoughts, but never right to say them out loud or do them. It is learning social etiquette thru the books. Julie always gets in trouble for acting on her selfish thoughts. We read her narrative thoughts and agree with some of them, but cringe as she gets in trouble.

You moms are so coddling to never show your kids things like this. Geez. [/quote]

I think you may be right, IF you are reading them together. If a child starts reading them independently, [b]they probably aren’t taking away the right lessons[/b].  Research on the way kids absorb messages from TV suggests this is the case.[/quote]

The right lesson is: reading is fun.[/quote]

+1  Junie B was always hilarious to me and my kids because she was so outrageous.  Even her bad grammar was funny-my kid had fun pointing our her mistakes.  Some of you people need to lighten up.  [/quote]
