[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Buy anything else. Junie B is a total brat.[/quote]
I read all 24 Junie B books to my son for bedtime reading in kindergarten.  We both loved those books (both of us have a bit of brat in us, I guess.)   I felt like I lost a friend when I finished the last one.  They’re probably second grade reading level.[/quote]

She repeatedly calls people “stupid” and “dumb” and says she “hates” things. She’s pretty rude to her teacher. I couldn’t believe how many let their kids read these.[/quote]

I know, those parents (like us) are just horrible people.  I'm sure my kids will be doomed to be domestic servants in your kids' homes as a result since they will clearly not be able to "go private" and attend an Ivy following graduation.  I'm sure your kids, as a result of avoiding Junie B, will have a future which will allow you to brag to all of your friends to make up for you're own insecurities.[/quote]

Xanax time![/quote]

Call me silly but I think that was meant to be sarcasim. I

think the real point was that kids will be fine even if they read Junie B Jones. And the poster is 100% correct.

But with so many other good books out there, why would I want my kid reading Junie B Jones? He likes Magic Treehouse and Super Turbo and can read those just fine. It was an easy redirect, he is happy and I am happy.

As someone reading to my kids, I like the Junie B. Jones book better than the Magic Treehouse books.  They're funny, whereas Magic Treehouse to me gets dull after a while.[/quote]
