Review Quotes: Praise for Barbara Park's Junie B. Jones series
"Park, one of the funniest writers around . . . brings her refreshing humor to the beginning chapter-book set."
--Booklist "Park convinces beginning readers that Junie B.--and reading--are lots of fun."
--Publishers Weekly "Junie's swarms of young fans will continue to delight in her unique take on the world. . . . A hilarious, first-rate read-aloud."
--Kirkus Reviews "Junie B. Jones is a feisty six-year-old with an endearing penchant for honesty."
--Time
"Park is truly a funny writer. Although Junie B. is a kindergartner, she's sure to make middle graders laugh out loud."
--School Library Journal "Barbara Park captured, with authenticity and heart, the voice of a six-year-old child. Junie B. is a spunky little girl who is naive, lacks an attention span, has a vivid imagination, quick temper, a strong sense of injustice, and an inability to understand subtlety or nuance."
-- Book Riot
