Amazon.com Review
Junie B. Jones and all of Room 9 are getting ready to graduate from kindergarten! Their teacher--known to our heroine as "Mrs."--distributes their fresh white caps and gowns ("Cats and gowns, cats and gowns!" Junie hollers), and makes her students promise to keep them in their boxes until the big day. But Junie B., being Junie B., is sure that just one peek on the way home won't soil her gown. And then she must show off to her stuffed animals with a lot of whirling and skipping, which of course makes her thirsty. But guess what? "Grape juice can go wrong."

The 17th title in Barbara Park's popular Junie B. Jones beginning chapter book series is filled with more messy antics from the irrepressible 6-year-old with the rather unusual speaking style. She may be trouble, but Junie B. Jones has definite six-appeal. Don't miss any of the titles in this lively series, from Junie B. Jones Has a Peep in Her Pocket to Junie B. Jones and Some Sneaky Peeky Spying to Junie B. Jones Is Captain Field Day. Denise Brunkus's witty drawings deftly capture the tragicomedies of kindergarten life. Although the cute-precocious style may eventually grate on grownups' nerves, kids won't tire of Junie B.'s everyday adventures. (Ages 5 to 8) --Emilie Coulter

Junie B is Back and Better than Ever.....
It's hard to believe, but the kindergarten class in room nine is about to graduate. The children are excited with all the preparations, making invitations, writing a class graduation poem and receiving the boxes that hold their caps and gowns. The caps and gowns are white and white gets dirty very easily, their teacher tells them. She says to take them home, don't play with them, don't even open the boxes until the big day. Of course this is all Junie B has to hear. She just has to take a peek and maybe show off her gown to her stuffed animal friends and twirl and whirl a little. All that modeling makes her feel pooped and thirsty, so she figures she'll go to the kitchen and get a glass of grape juice..... Nobody captures the essence of the kindergarten aged child like Barbara Park and children will easily identify with Junie B. This irrepressible, precocious and lovable youngster has places to go, people to meet and things to see. She's ready for the world; she just hasn't quite mastered listening, following directions and self-control. Ms Park's humorous text is down to earth, written in easy to read, kid-speak language and complemented by Denise Brunkus' delightful illustrations and youngsters will laugh out loud at the antics of Junie B, her family, teacher, the principal and the entire class. Perfect for readers 5-8, Junie B Jones is a Graduation Girl is a funny, heart-warming story with a gentle message and a terrific addition to this wonderful series.

Another Enjoyable Junie B Book
My [...] daughter loves Junie B books and this one was no exception. Kids really relate to Junie B and this story will keep a young child interested enough to read the book without being overwhelming. I've heard complaints (even one from a first grade teacher) about this series because the heroine Junie B has a few bad habits and her grammer is less than perfect. But those shortcomings are so obvious (even to a 6 year old) that the worry that a child will pick up those habits is just ridiculous. Kids laugh with Junie B because they see how silly she is and they root for her as well because they see her getting away with things that they know they never will or should get away with. Don't we adults do the very same thing?

My daughter has read about fourteen of these books so far and has not picked up one bad habit - well actually she has - she asks to stay up late to read!

One of the Funniest Books in the World!
This book was about how Junie B. (Don't forget the B!) was getting ready for graduation from Kindergarten. ...And she got popular because she accidentally got purple drops on her cap and gown, so everyone else drew colored polka dots on their gowns.

I liked this because Junie B. is very funny. I liked this book as much as "Junie B and the Stinky Smelly Bus" and I think other kids would like to read it too.

Mom's Note: "This was the first Junie B. book that I have read with my daughter (she read another one in school) and it was absolutely adorable. Ms. Park captures the essence of a kindergartener by telling the story in the first-person, from little Junie B's perspective and she does a wonderful job. It really sounds like a Kindergartener is telling the story, which makes it all the more enjoyable. I'm looking forward to reading more of these with my daughter!"
