Book Description
A terrible thing
happened to Junie B. Jones! And it''s called -- someone took her new
black furry mittens! And they kept them! They didn''t even put them
in the Lost and Found at school. So when Junie B. finds a wonderful
pen on the floor, she should be allowed to keep it, too. Right?
That''s fair. Right? Right?
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-3?Junie''s kindergarten classmates convince her that an
invisible monster lives under her bed. Her parents and grandmother
are unable to convince her otherwise until Junie hits upon the idea
of putting her unflattering school picture under the bed to
frighten the monster. In Junie B. Jones Is Not a Crook, the little
girl discovers that "finders keepers losers weepers" is not an
appealing philosophy when she loses the special gloves her
grandfather gave her and the child who finds them doesn''t take them
to the lost and found. Junie''s first-person narration is sprinkled
with deliberate grammatical errors and misunderstood word usage in
an attempt to show a five-year-old''s viewpoint "I runned home,"
"They got stoled on purpose.". Precocious use of sophisticated
language is also used to achieve an intended humorous effect. The
black-and-white, full- and half-page illustrations reflect Junie''s
cockeyed view of the world and will help attract beginning
chapter-book readers. The issues the child is dealing with are
right on target for the intended age group, but Junie''s personality
is more annoying than endearing and the humor lacks freshness and
spontaneity. Buy where the series is popular.
