Grades 2-3
It is the beginning of the school year, and Junie B. Jones is starting first grade. She is very nervous about starting first grade! She is at a new school, has a new teacher, has new friends, and a new journal. She also has a new problem on her hands – she might need to get glasses. Junie B. Jones does not want to get glasses. Will she be able to convince her parents that she does not need glasses and can see the chalkboard just fine? Find out in this hilarious book!
Junie B., First Grader (at last!) is part of the Junie B. Jones book series. This book is written for students at the second or third grade reading level. Although some boys may find this book funny, it is geared toward girls. This chapter book is a fairly quick read. There are a few illustrations throughout the book that follow the story well. The illustrations show Junie B. Jones’ emotions very well. Children can relate to Junie B. Jones in this book. Children may be nervous about entering the first grade, and find it difficult to make new friends. I like the fact that Junie B. Jones has to get glasses in first grade. Several elementary school students have to get glasses. This book shows them that they should not be embarrassed, and that having glasses is actually kind of cool. I like the fact that Junie B. Jones’ teacher is a male. The majority of elementary school teachers are female, so it is nice to see a male teacher in the book. It is also great to see a variety of races throughout the book. Overall, Junie B., First Grader (at last!) was a fun book to read!
