 | Poor Grammar is Fun--shameful Jun 12, 2008 |
| If you want your child to learn poor English then the Junie B. Jones series is for you. | | |  | Questionable words for kids. Jun 10, 2008 |
| These stories are o.k. with fairly cute ideas, but what concerns me are some of the words. Stupid, dumb, hate, and big fat smelly are used over and over, which I know aren't swear words or anything, but words I don't really want my kids to say\read. When reading, I leave them out, but I won't be buying anymore Junie B Jones for my kids. | | |  | There's little enough joy in the world.... May 26, 2008 |
I'll take a child's belly laugh any way I can get it. My kids (7 and 9) absolutely fall about when we read Junie B. together, and they clearly understand that she is being outrageous. That is WHY it's funny. Who wants to read about a little goody two shoes? I think it's strange that reviewers are huffing about saying it's poorly written. A writer who can bring a character that vividly to life, who can come up with lines that the whole family ends up quoting repeatedly, is by definition a great writer. People who love language play with it, and most people don't speak perfectly. Rich dialogue reflects that and catches the way people talk.
Wonder if all the complainers on here would like to take a pencil and correct Huck Finn's grammar? Huck and Tom weren't too well-behaved either, come to think. Do you think Mark Twain was a poor writer? I laugh out loud at his books, too.
The funniest thing of all on here are the grammatical errors and the pompous, stilted syntax in the posts of people who are just diabolically scathing about the grammar and the writing in Junie B. I especially love the review by the "professional writer by trade." No one who doesn't understand what's wrong with that description has the right to even raise an eyebrow at Junie B.
| | | | Bad Influence on Young Daughter May 13, 2008 |
| I've been reading these books with my 4-year-old for the last month. I'm really disturbed by the name calling in the book and the overall bad behavior by Junie B. Jones. The author also assumes that children are stupid. Especially in the book "Monkey Business" when Junie B. Jones thinks her mother has given birth to a baby monkey because the grandma describes the newborn as cute as a monkey. Come on! My 4-year-old knows that a statement like that is just an expression and that humans don't give birth to monkeys. And I'm also disturbed by the bad grammar used throughout the book. My daughter keeps asking me why Junie B. Jones is using the wrong words. I also have to keep reminding her that we don't call people "stupid" and "dumb," which the main characters seems to do quite often. | | | | High Poverty School where reading is not a #1 Priority Apr 16, 2008 |
| For the past 8 years I haved been trying to find a way to get my students excited about reading and want to sit and read a book. When I was little I couldn't wait for the weekend when I went to the bookstore and got a new chapter book to read. I think I read at least 2 a week from Ramona books, to Babysitter's Club, and the entire Sewwt Valley series. When I started my career it was upsetting to me that almost all of my students had few to none books in their home. There was no enthusiasm. Until I started introducing them to Junie B. Now they argue over who will take each one home next. It gets my higher readers wanting more and my lower readers wanting to practice so they can get better at reading them faster. I use them for read alouds, DEAR time and take home books as well. They borrow my books but it also helps them to be responsible because they are books that they treasure! YES her grammar is horrible and she is not the perfect angel student. But"real" children can relate and they understand her. | | | Write your own review about Junie B. Jones's First Boxed Set Ever!
