Genre: Realistic Fiction - This book is a good example of realistic fiction because it is a story about a little girl and everything that happens in it is something that could really happen, but it is made up for this story. This book allows the readers to compare their lives to Junie B. Jones'

life. For some readers it can also give them a new perspective on life and see the human social behavior, which is important in this book.

Character: The main character in this book is Junie B. Jones and she is the protagonist, and to her the antagonist is her mom and her principal. Junie is the only character that is really developed as the main character, but I think we know enough about the other characters to make the story still work.

Art Media: Drawing with pen

Style: I cannot think of any style that was used well in this story. There was not really anything that stuck out to me, the story was written for children to read, and it was kind of hard as an adult to read it, because the girl talks wrong and so she wrote it out wrong as well.

Junie B. Jones gets herself into trouble by acting on her curiosity about her teacher.

The book would be useful to discuss spying, curiosity, and people-watching.

Six-year-old Junie B.'s penchant for spying on people and her curiosity about the private life of her teacher get her in trouble at kindergarten. I like this book because I remember when I was younger the neighbor kids and I used to pretend we were spys like Junie B. Jones.

I read this book to my little sisters and in the end my entire family was sitting in the living room laughing! Way to go Junie B.

This series was one of my favorites as a young girl, so it was great to reminisce and read this book as a college student. One reason I liked this book is because of how relatable Junie B. is to most Kindergarteners. She does things like spying on her teacher, asking many unnecessary questions,

rambling on while talking, and yelling in her baby brother’s ear. I was laughing out loud at various points throughout this story! I could completely picture Junie B. as a real Kindergartener, adding authenticity to the silly story. Another reason I liked this book is because of the language used throughout the book that modeled exactly how a Kindergartener would talk. Verb tense was not always grammatically correct in this book, with Junie B. saying, “I hided under his desk” instead of using the past tense form of the word. In addition, Junie B. was unsure of what zucchini was when she saw it in the grocery store, so she called it “Sue keeny.” The language makes Junie B. all the more endearing and makes it seem like a true Kindergartener had a hand in writing this book. The main idea of this story is that spying on others will get you in trouble, so you should always be on your best behavior.

In this book the reader can learn what is right and wrong, especially spying on people and understanding that people need their privacy. This book also touches on how secrets can be good and/or bad.

I really enjoyed reading this book! It brought back memories of my childhood when I would read these books. I liked this book because of the character Junie B. Jones. I think she is a very well developed character. Her personality shines through the pages of the book due to the language choice and

descriptive detail. I think the character Junie B. exemplifies the curious and adventurous side of every young child. She is a fun, loud, curious character that makes the book humorous and relatable to young readers. The second reason that I liked this book was because of the language used in the story. Some words in the text were spelled the way a Kindergartener would pronounce them. They were not spelled correctly but they could be understood because they were spelled the way they sounded. I think the language helps makes the book relatable to young readers. Although, it did not demonstrate how to spell and speak in the most proper way it makes the story overall more engaging for the reader. I think this is a great book and the Junie B. Jones series is a great series for all young readers. I think the purpose of the book is to teach the readers that being curious is okay but making assumptions and spying can get you into a lot of unwanted trouble. It is important to make sure you know all of the facts before sharing information.

This was a fun one for the kids. Junie B. Is curious about his teacher, Mrs., and is set on spying on her. Luck has it she spots her at the grocery store and she sees something that is too hard to keep a secret.

I loved this book, I read this series when I was in elementary school. Now reading this book as an adult is entirely different, yet still enjoyable. I love how the book is written in the context of how an elementary aged child would write it. I also found it hilarious how relatable this book was

when Junie B has an infatuation of figuring out where her teacher lives. I think it is important for elementary aged children to be able to relate to what they read. I find Junie B's character to be extremely relatable and realistic for younger kids. Having this allows the children to read the book through their own eyes, and imagine themselves sneaking around the house like Junie B does.

As I was reading the book, “Junie B. Jones and Some Sneaky Peeky Spying”, in many ways, Junie B. reminded me of myself when I was younger. I absolutely loved the plot of this particular Junie B. Jones book. Junie B. is always curious as to what other people are doing and why they are doing it.

She is blunt and says whatever she is thinking at that very moment. When Grace, her friend, states that she is good at spying Junie B. replies, “Yeah, only too bad Grace but you can’t be as good as me ‘cause I said it first.” As the book continues, Junie B. tries to be as sneaky as she can when she spies on her mother and even her teacher! I also enjoyed the illustrations in this chapter book. The pictures were drawn in pen to correlate with the text on each page. The pictures really expressed Junie B.’s emotions, especially when she was mad. When she was mad, her face was all scrunched up with her eyebrows pointed down and her arms crossed. This is how the reader knows she is very angry. The main idea of this book is honesty and privacy are two things that should be valued.

really liked this book for two reason. The first reason was because of the language used throughout the story. Junie B. Jones is a kindergartner student, and children this age do not always speak grammatically correct. Throughout the story, the author used the grammar of a kindergartner, and I feel like it made me as the reader connect with the story more because I could understand from her viewpoint as a child. For example, Junie B. did not know how to correctly pronounce some words, so she would say them how she heard them. In the story, the teacher was in the grocery store and picked up some zucchini, but Junie B. pronounced it as “Sue Keeny”, and I thought this was pretty funny. The second reason I liked this book was because it included some illustrations, even though it is a chapter book. At one point when her teacher was getting upset with her because she would not have a seat, the illustration on that page showed the teacher’s face, and expressed her emotions as she pointed Junie B. to be quiet and have a seat. Including illustrations helps the reader visualize the story as they read.

Junie B. Jones learns about spying and she starts to spy on everyone she knows. On her mom, dad and teacher. This spying business is getting her into a lot of trouble.

I love reading Junie B. Jones in elementary school. She is such a spunky character that many young girls can relate to. Every book has such a great lesson and is taught in a fun and adventurous way.
