Any of you that are early elementary teachers are sure to know who she is. Of course, she's the author of all of those hilarious books that begin with the title, Junie B. Jones. She is the brilliant mastermind behind the 5-7 year old little girl who is confident, charming, and sometimes a little on the naughty side. I, as an adult, enjoy reading her books because I read them aloud to my children and I can be as animated as I assume Barbara Park intended Junie B. Jones to be in the story. Just for fun, I'm going to show my favorite Junie B. Jones book cover. :0)

I, of course, highly recommend (child or adult) go out and get this book! My students love it year, after year!
