-Titulo Original : Junie B. Jones And The Stupid Smelly Bus (junie B. Jones, No. 1)-Fabricante : Random House Books For Young Readers-Descripcion Original: “Hilarious. Barbara Park makes reading fun.” -Dav Pilkey, author of Dog Man Barbara Park’s #1 New York Times bestselling chapter book series, Junie B. Jones, has been keeping kids laughing-and reading-for more than twenty-five years. Over 65 million copies sold! Meet the World’s Funniest Kindergartner-Junie B. Jones! Remember when it was scary to go to school? In the first Junie B. Jones book, it’s Junie B.’s first day and she doesn’t know anything. She’s so scared of the school bus and the meanies on it that when it’s time to go home, she doesn’t. USA Today: “Junie B. is the darling of the young-reader set.” Publishers Weekly: “Park convinces beginning readers that Junie B.-and reading-are lots of fun.” Kirkus Reviews: “Junie’s swarms of young fans will continue to delight in her unique take on the world. . . . A hilarious, first-rate read-aloud.” Time: “Junie B. Jones is a feisty six-year-old with an endearing penchant for honesty.” From Publishers Weekly One of the initial titles released under the First Stepping Stone imprint, chapter books aimed at newly independent readers and arranged in series, Parks ( Skinnybones ) jolly caper is the first installment to feature Junie B., a feisty almost-six-year-old who is not at all happy about riding the bus on the first day of kindergarten. In fact, she doesnt like a single thing about this vehicle: not the kids who get on it (Loud kids. And some of them were the kind who look like meanies); not the door (If it closes on you by accident, it will cut you in half, and you will make a squishy sound); and not the black smoke it emits (Its called bus breath, I think). Other equally candid, on-target perceptions fill Junie B.s first-person narrative, which is peppered with reader-involving questions (Only guess what?; Cause guess why?) that help to propel the story at a whiz-bang pace. When a classmate tells Junie B. that kids will pour chocolate milk on her head on the way home, the spunky child finds a way to avoid the dreaded bus. Park convinces beginning readers that Junie B. - and reading--are lots of fun. Ages 6-9. Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. From School Library Journal Kindergarten-Grade 3 --Park is truly a funny writer. Although Junie B. is a kindergartner, shes sure to make middle graders laugh out loud when they read about her adventures on the first day of school. Even the most insecure readers will feel superior because they know so much more than she does. Brunkuss occasional black-and-white pencil illustrations are appealing and reinforce the mood of the text. Junie B. is a real character; she talks a lot, is funny without knowing it, and honest to a fault. This book will get lots of peer recommendations, and younger kids will enjoy listening to it when read aloud. Its a real hoot! --Gale W. Sherman, Pocatello Pub . Lib . , ID Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. Review From USA TODAY: Junie B. is the darling of the young-reader set.
