Junie B. Jones is Not a Crook by Barbara Park


Illustrated by Denise Brunkins

A stepping stone book

Random House

New York

C1997

67 pages

Black and white illustrations throughout

An excellent early chapter book for the young reader. Junie B. Jones is like a modern version of Blume’s Ramona: spunky, realistic, and incredibly likeable. In this tale, she
shows off her new furry mittens to her classmates, but it turns out she is not the only one who is taken by them. Cute and earnest illustrations combined with good humour and kid logic makes it a fun book for the beginning reader. But be warned, Junie B. Jones has not properly learned all of her grammar lessons yet! Ages 5-9. ****
