If my daughter was younger I would totally grab a copy of this for her. Maybe I can grab a copy for a friend's daughter before school starts this year. I am glad that your daughter loved it!

A few of those could also be applied to the working world: *Getting There (All of the ways I can think of to get to that place.) *Getting Bossed Around (Some of the bossy bosses who will boss you.) *Getting in Trouble (Plus how to stay out of it!) *Getting Smiley (New friends and other happy stuff!) =)) Back to school fun!

Jenn - I'm happy you mentioned that your son enjoys her. My experience with Junie B has only been with young female readers; I've edited my review to show it as appealing to girls *and* boys Darcy - Junie B's take on the ins and outs of school lets her personality come out Anna - Between Junie B and Horrid Henry your daughter has some good examples of "what not to do" :) Kathy - my 13 yr old wanders off with a lot of my "chick lit" and YA fiction rhapsody - definitely in touch with her inner child! Susan - I'll admit that the first time we did a read-aloud with Junie B I was shocked with her grammar and thought it wasn't a "good" book. But, I didn't give my daughter enough credit. We talked about it and she explained (at age 6) that she *knew* that Junie B wasn't talking the way we do, but that it was funny and it helped my daughter to hear her "voice" make the character "feel like a real person" (I no longer closely monitor what they read!)

My six-year-old has outgrown Junie. I think she lost interest when we read (out of order) the first one, with the school bus, and my kid proclaimed the situation as it unfolded to be stupid. So I'm glad to hear that your older daughter was into it. Clearly, my kids are taking after their mom. … and I’m on the other side of Rhapsody’s feelings. My six-year-old has outgrown Junie.

I don't think it's an easy thing to do, once you've grown up, but she definitely has a talent for it. I’m so admiring of that author, who seems so able to get right into the mind of a 7-yr old.
