This is a silly story about a gregarious first grader who is the first in her class to lose an upper tooth. Her story becomes even sillier while she is convinced that the tooth fairy is actually a witch. This book is crass and contains many grammatical errors. I cringed the whole time I read it.

After reading the first Junie B book, I decided I wanted to read this chapter book also because of the interesting character of Junie B. Although this book made the banned book list, I feel many of the emotions Junie B expierences in the story relate to how read first graders feel. I think it is

Junie B. Jones is just about ready to loose her front, top baby tooth. The suspense is on as she really doesn't want to loose it because then the "Tooth Fairy" will come. She has a problem with the tooth fairy because she can't believe someone would come and give you money for something they would

Losing teeth happens to all children. Some children lose their teeth faster than other children do. This book would be great to start reading in the middle of kindergarten.

Junie B. is back in fine form in this book. When she loses a tooth, she refuses to put it under her pillow because Paulie Allen Puffer's older brother told her that the tooth fairy is really a tooth witch. Will Junie B. ever get up the courage to put her tooth under her pillow? An amusing story

This is a good example of REALISTIC FICTION because it deals with experiences that are easy to relate to and compare to your own life, especially for primary-aged children. Junie B. has a loose tooth and has to face her beliefs about the tooth fairy and what happens with her tooth when she leaves

This book is about a little girl named Junie B. Jones that has realized that she is the first person in her first grade class that has a loose tooth. When the class finds out about this everyone is excited for her until one of the students mentions his uncle that has no teeth at all. This makes
Growing up everyone is afraid to lose their first tooth. I will never forget when I lost mine. I was so afraid that the hole will never fill up with another tooth. I was just like Junie B., but my parents assured me that it was alright.
In the classroom, I can read this book to the children when someone has a lose tooth. I can also make a chart for when the children lose their teeth.

I think this book was a good selection for this particular age group. This is the age when you really start to think about how things work out and if there are fairies, santa clause's ,easter bunnies, etc. The author keeps the attention of the reader and I loved the pictures and illustrations for the text. Very funny and exciting book.

excited and proud. May was jealous and said it was no big deal because everyone in the class would eventually loose their top teeth. But, Junie B. was excited because she would be the very first. The more she thought about it, she became nervous! What if she loses all of her teeth and looks like Uncle Lou (toothless)? Junie B. wasn't too sure about the tooth fairy and all of these troublesome questions began to go through her mind. Like, if there was a tooth fairy, what did she do with all of those teeth? Finally her grandfather pulls the loose tooth and everyone at school thinks she looks cool. So now, loosing teeth will not be so bad for Junie B.Critique

Summary: Junie B. Jones is the first student in her class to lose a tooth on the top row and at first she is excited but then she is afraid that everyone will make fun of her. She is also struggling to figure out if the tooth fairy is real and what she could possibly be doing with all of the teeth
Critiques:
Genre: This is a good example of a realistic fiction book because the book is written from the perspective of a first grader, and any child around her age would be able to relate to her. Also, things that she thinks and wonders about, such as the tooth fairy, are all things that average little kids think about.
Characterization: Junie B. Jones is a round character, since the whole book is written from her perspective the development of her character happens pretty rapidly. The author gets inside her head and even writes word for word what she is thinking, even if it is not correct grammar; this helps the reader get a better understanding of what Junie is like.

Junie B. experiences a range of emotions as she is the first kid in her class to lose a top, front baby tooth. She panics about the thought of the tooth fairy because she has heard things about that fairy.
The book would be interesting to discuss losing teeth and the tooth fairy.

I think all the Junie B. Jones books are great. One thing I love about them is the language used. The language used in them is fun and engaging for any reader. For example, in this book it uses the phrase “loosey goosey” and “dumb bunny.” I also like that there are a few illustrations by

not many. Since this is a transitional book, its good to have some illustrations so the reader doesn’t get overwhelmed but its good that there isn’t too many because the reader should get used to transitioning to books without any illustrations or pictures at all. The main idea of this book is about not worrying what you look like, even if you have a missing tooth. Show Less

Next, I really enjoyed the language used throughout the story; the language was comical, playful, and descriptive. Lastly, I really liked the message of this story. The story helps children who may be afraid of losing teeth gain the confidence they need and help them get over their fear. Overall, the experience that Junie goes through helps calm young readers and lets them know that losing teeth is lots of fun. Show Less

very excited to read this book. I am actually going through this stage with my daughter who is in the 1st grade and lost her first tooth (front tooth) over spring break. This is a great book for students in 1st grade to read because they can find out early that this is part of life and everyone goes through the weird stage of losing their first front tooth and soon after the second one comes out next and it's normal so just embrace it! It'll grow back soon enough!Classroom Extension Ideas: I would have my students share with the class when they lost their first tooth adn what did the tooth fairy bring them! 2.

This story depicts Junie B. Jones experience of losing her first tooth. It is an experience that can soon be relatable to all children. Some students may fear that their peers will make fun of them when they lose their teeth or some may be afraid of the tooth fairy like Junie B. Jones. However, the

end of the book calms these fears for children. When Junie B. loses her first tooth she falls in love with her new smile and proudly displays it for her classmates to see. They all think it is awesome that she was the first one in their class to lose a tooth. Additionally, Junie B. discovers that she did not have to fear the tooth fairy and received money from her. What was also very cool about this book was that it began with a journal entry that Junie B. wrote. In the entry she had certain words crossed out and re-written with the correct spelling. She even mentioned that she had to look up words in the dictionary that she didn’t know and spell them correctly. This really gives first graders extra confidence that it is okay if they do not know the spelling for every word. Just like Junie. B. Jones they may need help from time to time. Show Less
