"I read this book with Madison (4) over a few days. She really enjoyed the story, and it was cute and in most cases true to the way a 4-6 year old would think. That being said, Junie B says "stupid" and "hate" a lot. I don't forbid my kids to use those words, but I don't want to encourage those words either. Madison and I talked about some of the issues (like hiding from the school bus) and the words used (those aren't very nice words, are they?), so I think we can enjoy and learn from these cute stories."
"I think Junie B. is our families favorite bedtime story series. We quote from her on a regular basis. It is so amazing and sweet to have your two high school children stop what they are doing and run in for storytime. My high school senior will even drag her friends in for storytime if it is Junie B Jones. It was the first book I ever tried to uses "voices" with, it just begged. Now my kids demand voices during storytime and that has added a new fun demension to our reading. My oldest daughter thought they were dumb when she tried to read them on her own as a 1st grader. I think young children need help finding the humor in books sometimes. I highly recommend the entire series."
"my five year old girl thinks junie b jones is so cool and will sit through a whole book in one sitting. The only reason I didn't give it a five is because the author writes the speaking parts with incorrect grammar and my five year old knows how to speak properly for the most part so it drives me crazy! But I read them to her anyway because she loves them."
"There are some books that giving my honest thoughts about does not bother me at all. But this one is different. It's with sadness that I report my thoughts and thus place this book (& most likely series) into my "do not read" category.
While I laughed hysterically at many points as I listened to this with my daughter (audio book!), I also was quite bothered by the use of "stupid" and "hate". Junie B mentioned several times that she hated one of her classmates and used the term stupid about multiple things. While I don't have a problem with those words, I do have a problem with they way they were used and of course the fact that a 5 year old was using them.
So despite the cute stories and great humor, I will not let my daughters listen or read this series and I would encourage other mom's to not let their daughters either. My children pick up to quickly wrong things to do, say, and think. I don't need to teach them to say they hate people when they do things they don't like, nor do they need to be taught to call random objects stupid just because the don't like it at the moment.
I hope I can find another series that will be just as funny without the bad influence. Or better yet...it would be great if the author would revise the books!"
