Junie B., First Grader: Aloha-ha-ha! (Junie B. Jones, #26)

Uh-oh, Junie B. is at it again…only this time she and her family (but not her baby brother Ollie) are enjoying a vacation of a lifetime in “Pair-o-dice”. Junie B.’s determined efforts to create a photo journal of her trip doggedly record the trials and tribulations of her family’s unique

vacation. Through Junie B.’s journal entries, Park once again takes the reader right inside the precocious mind of the perky first-grade girl who sometimes doesn’t make the choices, but sometimes she’s just in the wrong place at the wrong time- how can she help that, I tell you? In either case, her innocent hilarity is now exposed to a new clime, replete with exotic adventures, all amusingly captured by Brunkus’ realistic grayscale drawings. First through third grade readers will be smitten by Junie B.’s larger-than-life personality and impressed by her decisive pluck. Hawaii may never be the same, but readers can always count on Junie B. to reveal her innermost thoughts- resulting in hysterical consequences.

This is about Junie B Jones going to Hawaii. It would be great for a student who is going on a trip there or just going on vacation. I also like this book becaue it is a series.

This book follows Junie B. to Hawaii, where her teacher has given her an assignment of a photo journal and as always everything goes wrong in funny ways for Junie B and her family.

Junie goes on the vacation of a life-time. She's excited and plans to keep a photo journal to share with her classmates. Typical Junie, things just don't work out like she plans.

Summary: Junie B. Jones receives exciting news from her parents that she will be going on a family vacation to Hawaii. She can not control the excitement, which gets her into a bit of trouble. Before leaving her teacher gives her an assignment to fill a photo journal with pictures from each day of

her trip. She spends the entire vacation getting into trouble trying to find great pictures to fill her book.
Genre: Realistic Fiction
This is a good example of realistic fiction because Junie B.'s story is one that could be experienced by many children her age. Because of this children will be able to relate to her feelings, actions, or experiences.
Characterization: Junie B. Jones is the main character of this story, she is a round character because we know how she will react in situations and can predict her behavior. Also, if you have followed the series you would have known her very well by this point.

great book that really can get those early chapter reader hooked on a character. I am just beginning to read these with my daughter (as we were given an entire set as a hand me down from a neighbor). Looking forward to all of her adventures!

Junie B Jones, a first grader finds out that she is going on vacation to Hawaii. Her teacher gives he a camera, a journal, and a an assignment. She is to take photo's, with captions, of what she did on her vacation. Junie B's journal does not start out well. On Junie's last adventure, which was a

guided tour of the rain forest, she initially thinks it is awful and boring, until a bird is attracted to all of the flowers that she has in her hair and then the bird gets stuck.
I think kids can relate to Junie B because it is written in her voice. I also think it would be great to discuss not only vacations but giving new things a try.

Critique:
Genre: Junie B. is a very realistic character because of her sass and personality in relation to other students and to adults. She takes a very realistic trip by going to Hawaii and experiencing many typical tourist things while there. She deals with real feelings of frustration, anger,

and excitement.
Character: The character of Junie B. is very round because the story is told through her eyes. The reader learns the most about her because we "hear" her thoughts and feelings firsthand through her head and through her actions and dialogue with other characters.

The Junie B. Jones books are actually a lot of elementary school kids favorite. Again, my little sister has just about every book of Junie B. Jones. She loves to read them aloud to me. I think these books are great transition books and the adventure she goes on are very entertaining.

I recommend this book to people who love haiiw. -jessie may

Junie B. 1st grader with an attitude and a knack or getting in trouble. But add in a trip to Hawaii and a camera, and you're sure to get her at here best.

Junie B. Jones goes on vacation to Hawaii with a real camera! But this vacation turns out to be less than paradise. Birds in the hair, old people everywhere! I love seeing the world through the eyes of this girl. It seems like she has a hard time getting just about anything right. These books are

Junie B. Jones goes on vacation to Hawaii and has many fun (and not so fun) adventures while she is there. She is tasked with a photo journal assignment which she at first hates but learns to love during her time on the island.

This book was absolutely hilarious. This is a realistic fiction chapter book for children in the 2nd to 4th grade. This would be no doubt entertaining for any child, Junie B's outrageous behavior is endlessly entertaining, and as an adult reader, made me laugh out loud on several occasions. I loved
